Is this a new designed Hitch with a New Impact absorbing design??

Or is it the same designed hitch??

Take a look at the description for the 2010 to 2017 RT hitch. Same description.

Yeah they all say the same but also says new on there web site.. Could be deceiving and had to ask. :dontknow:

The only thing I know for sure is that the CIC2 connector has changed for 2018. It has gone from a 10 pin to a 16 pin. That is the connector that the trailer harness Ys into. So the harness from previous years will not fit. But they now offer what they call a module harness. What we have been calling the Y harness. That will make older harnesses compatable.

It does say NEW and the caption is "picture not available" does that mean it is so new they have no picture...:yikes: one would think an old one would have a lot of pictures...:dontknow: but not being a trailering typy of ryder i would have to go with billybovine's post..:thumbup:

Impact absorbing

the old style hitch did good job of being a crumple zone when I was clipped by a out of control car. (Was not rear ended ) the hitch bent where it rubbed sprocket & the fender was cutting tire. The only parts that were touched amazingly as the car clipped me & continued till it Tboned another stopped in my RH blind spot. FYI We were all at a stop light when a hit & run occurred on other side of 4lane hwy. as far as other impacts like the bouncing from being attached to swing arm:dontknow::dontknow:
