I know it is distributed by a Michigan Company but at no time they associate Reese's name and Pro Series together. However on this site, I often read Reese Pro Series. Curious, because that is what they put in my truck bed. A Pro Series 15K on slide as I have an extended cab. Also, Pro"s and con's would be beneficialto me.

It does not have the Reese name on it, but it was marketed as a Reese hitch. I have been satisfied with mine for over a year now.

Still not 100% sure, but if Reese peddles them, it should have some quality built into it. For the price I paid for the hitch and installation, I sure hope so! 1450$ mudmaker • View posts Iowa Senior Member Joined: 10/15/2006 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 01/21/12 07:23pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I have a pro series 15k hitch. No complaints. Bought it thru Craigslist for 125.00. Already had the hitch rails. It has the slide over locking pin instead of the dual locking jaws. I suppose it may have a little more king pin movement than the jaws but I don't have to worry about it coming unhooked once the slide is closed. Just lock the handle and forget about it.

No problems towing at all,a good safe hitch. alageezer • View posts seale, al Senior Member Joined: 05/02/2007 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 01/22/12 08:40am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I thought the Pro Series hitch was Reese's entry level hitch, and made in China. 2010 Dodge CC 2500 CTD w/6sp man 2012 Rockwood SUL 8285 meesda • View posts Bathurst NB Full Member Joined: 07/08/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/22/12 09:03am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I,ve had a Reese PRO 15000 with square slider for the past 6 years. Great hitch...no worries if claws are closed or not. I can easily move the hitches by hand forward of backward. A bit of chucking but if that bother anyone you will need gold lined highways.

The dealer said that it was "suffient". During the time of use, I notice a "chucking" and asked around how to fix that problem. I was told that I needed to adjust my hitch. I couldn't find any adjustment. Another thing, the "bar" coupler was wearing out my kingpin. I wrote a question to "Trailer" magazine and the guys said that the "wear" wasn't an issue. I didn't like it and others that I traveled with, didn't have that kind of wear. A buddy gave me a Draw-Tite 16k, it has a "clam" style coupler. I feel better about this hitch. I do a pull test, every time, now! Because on the "bar" style coupler, you know, by looking, that it's "hitched". I guess it just what you like.
