    This *SUCKS* – Ram5500 Torklift 30K Hitch Added & PAINT PEELING after 1 YEAR?! |E49

    01/12/2022
    Fixes & Maintenance, Upgrades!

    Well, sometimes you have to say it like it is. This is the 2nd Torklift SuperHitch that we’ve purchased in the past 2 years and BOTH had paint coming off like crazy. While the hitch itself works well, it’s truly disappointing that Torklift didn’t spend the extra time to paint these so they would last more than a year.

    And it looks like that quality had not changed since 2018 when we bought the first one for our Ram 3500. Looks like we’ll have some sandblasting to do in our future. So, be aware of this limitation if you’re heading down this path. Having to remove and sandblast will be a MAJOR chore.

    PRODUCTS we’ve purchased & mentioned in the video:

    While beefy, the challenge with surface rust continues…
    We currently have a 24″ extension on our Ram5500 with our Host Cascade. On our Ram3500 we used a 28″ extension
    Our current temporary plan to protect the surface until we can find some time to sandblast then re-paint

    Jan 2022 Update

    Please note that Torklift has contacted us and we’ll provide an update if anything changes.
