One goal of this blog is to highlight exciting new products as they are introduced. One of the most differentiated products introduced this year is the QuietRide ball mount from Softride. The ball mounts include an integrated tightening and locking system that prevents the mounts from clunking/rattling and also protects them from theft. Ball mounts have come a long way from the conventional pin and clip approach that we’ve been using for years. Customer feedback has been very positive on these products and they are quickly becoming one of our top selling ball mounts. I finally decided to test one out for myself last weekend. It is amazing how much a tight ball mount reduces the jerking and clunking that I didn’t realize I’d become accustomed to. Consider me a convert. We encourage our customers to share their experiences as well. Please feel free to use our reviews system to share your insights and inputs with us and the rest of the HitchSource.com community.
