Trailblazing Towing Innovation: Meet GEN-Y Hitch
 
Founded in 2012 by Carl Borkholder, GEN-Y Hitch has evolved into a leading innovator in towing accessories by combining ingenious design with American craftsmanship. Based in Nappanee, Indiana, they manufacture every component in-house, including powder coating, and uphold a commitment to quality and service. GEN-Y's standout feature is their patented TORSION-FLEX Technology, which employs integrated torsion bars to absorb inertia between trailer and tow vehicle. This dramatically reduces bumpiness and improves handling for a smoother, safer towing experience.
