Founded in 2011, GEN-Y Hitch® manufactures a variety of towing products, including hitches, couplers, ramps, accessories, and more. Carl Borkholder, the owner of the company, 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.
