Gen Y Hitch

GEN-Y Hitch was formed in 2011 by Carl Borkholder. The foundations of GEN-Y Hitch were based upon the involvement of Carl in the recreational vehicle industry and in his involvement in the ownership and operation of a business that provided commercial tree care services.

Carl’s involvement in the commercial tree care business drove home the inconvenience of not having a hitch system that was compatible among all the trucks and towable units necessary for the company’s operation. As a result of this incompatibility, crews were constantly forced to make special arrangements to make sure their vehicle could pull the particular trailer necessary for a particular job. Based upon this experience, Carl began to design an adjustable tri-ball/pintle combination hitch which allowed a truck to tow multiple different trailers. The result of this work was the development of the patented GEN-Y Hitch. GEN-Y Hitch has continued to develop the GEN-Y Hitch line, which currently encompasses eight Class IV hitches as well as 3 Class V models. All of these hitches are designed with multiple stacked receivers that enable the three-ball mount, to be easily adjusted for height and have weight capacities from 10,000 lb to 32,000 lb. We also have other Gen Y accessories like safety chains, serrated truck steps, loading ramps, and more.
