What happens here

This video provides a detailed comparison between two models of Gen-Y Torsion Hitches: the 'Boss' model and the newer 'Phantom XT'. The presenter explains the internal workings of the torsion unit, highlighting the hydraulically pressed, no-metal-on-metal contact system. The key difference discussed is the manufacturing process, with the newer Phantom XT utilizing a more efficient, less labor-intensive 'skeleton system' design, which allows for a more cost-effective price point without sacrificing the underlying torsion technology or quality. The video demonstrates the internal cross-section of the torsion unit and then showcases the two complete hitch models side-by-side.

All right, Ethan, what are we looking at with this now? >> All right, Stan, with this piece, we're looking at a cross-section of our most famous Boss model here of our torsion units. >> So, that's what it looks like inside of it. >> Yep. Exactly. These are going to be hydraulically pressed into there. And you're going to see there's no metal-onmetal contact. It is a free floating system. No maintenance ever needed on it. >> So, this is your your beefiest, biggest, baddest hitch you made, but now you have a new version of that. Yeah, we've innovated the product a little bit. So, with these old ones, they're all hand welded, bulkier engineering process. A little more that goes into them. With these, we've lightened up the pin weight a little bit, and we've created more of a skeleton system, you could say. >> Better engineering process. It uses less manhour, so we can just price a little more effective. MSRP on this 760. MSRP on the Phantom XT 430. >> Okay. So, there's all of the same technology in this as there is in this, except you've just changed the manufacturing process to make it a little bit less bitter for a guy to get in if they still want the best of the best. They're not sacrificing. >> Not sacrificing. You're still going to get >> You're still going to get that North American steel, that man-made quality, and that in-house quality. >> What is this called? >> This is called the Phantom XT. Phantom XC. What is this one called? >> This is the boss. >> The boss. That's the one I own except in a 20,000 lb hitch. So, and that's what she looks like inside. And that's by Gen Y. >> Thanks, Dan. Thank you.
