Anderson Manufacturing

<h3>About Andersen Manufacturing (Andersen Hitches)</h3><p>Andersen Manufacturing — better known under the <strong>Andersen Hitches</strong> trade name — has been a cornerstone of the American towing industry for over six decades. A family-owned, US-based company headquartered in Idaho Falls, Idaho, Andersen has been selling quality, American-made products for over 50 years. What began as a single-room workshop has evolved dramatically: the company has grown into a 102,000 square foot manufacturing and fabrication complex, further expanding by 70,000 sq. ft. in 2021 to meet growing demand and better serve dealers across the country.</p><h3>A Legacy of Innovation in Towing</h3><p>Since its beginnings, Andersen has introduced many &quot;firsts&quot; to the trailer hitch and towing industry — from the lightweight design of the Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection to the simplicity of the Rapid Jack tire-changing accessory. The engineering philosophy behind these products is rooted in material science as much as mechanical ingenuity: Andersen uses aircraft-grade aluminum — one of the toughest metals available — to build hitches capable of handling 40,000 pounds, with tested strength up to 55,000 lbs, while remaining corrosion-resistant for year-round use.</p><p>Andersen trailer hitches and towing accessories are tested to comply with all V5 and SAE J684 standards, and the company has introduced groundbreaking products including the first-ever Alumistinger ball mount made from aluminum and the Rapid Hitch adjustable ball mount. Nearly every Andersen Hitches product comes with a lifetime warranty — a testament to the confidence the brand places in its own craftsmanship.</p><h3>More Than Just Hitches</h3><p>Andersen Hitches serves the towing industry with a complete line of popular trailer hitches and unique towing products for both trailers and 5th wheels. That ecosystem extends well beyond the hitch receiver itself. Properly lighting your trailer is critical for road safety and legal compliance, which is why Andersen also offers <a href="/1303-anderson-manufacturing-clearance-marker-lights-incandescent-200266">clearance and marker lights</a> and <a href="/1303-anderson-manufacturing-side-marker-light-2824">side marker lights</a> designed to keep your rig visible in any condition. Completing the electrical picture, <a href="/1303-anderson-manufacturing-trailer-wiring-adapter-52040">trailer wiring adapters</a> ensure a reliable connection between tow vehicle and trailer, and <a href="/1303-anderson-manufacturing-trailer-light-kits-incandescent-201092">trailer light kits</a> provide everything needed to get a new or replacement lighting setup installed quickly.</p><h3>Built for Recreational Travelers, Workers, and Sportsmen</h3><p>As a US-based manufacturer, Andersen's mission is to improve the journey from point A to point B — not just for trailers, but for the recreational travelers, hard workers, and avid sportsmen who depend on their gear. The company continually refines its towing products to meet industry demands, leveraging customer feedback to enhance durability, functionality, and ease of use. Whether you're towing a fifth wheel across the country, hauling livestock on a ranch, or pulling a boat to the lake, Andersen Manufacturing offers a trusted, American-made solution for every mile of the journey.</p>

Cheap And easy check out

Very smooth

I ordered the HuskyLiners 98891 Floor Liners for my 2012 Hyundai Elantra on 5/29, received them 5/31. Order #15417. Apparently they have warehouses all over the country to ensure quick delivery. They had the best price on the net. Item arrived in perfect condition. <br><br>Their website needs a little work because I found the item thru Google and not directly from their website. You also can't edit your cart unless you register first which was annoying. Items could use product descriptions - you have to get info from the manufacturer's site. The real-time inventory was a plus.<br><br>Deducted a star because their website needs work.

So far so good, shopping on this site was a breeze.

Ordered a couple of items. The first was a air intake kit. I had put in all my info for my truck and chose one from the list to order. Won't fit. Called to tell them and they asked if I had called manufacturer...ummm no. Said I needed to contact them to verify wrong part. They were closed, so went to website. The part they sent me was a universal fit- for cars, not trucks, but did find right model- $90 more. Called back autoplicity and was told I need to go through email to get an RA# to return wrong part- site says I can call. Been on hold for over 20 mins and still waiting. Hope the Nerf bars I ordered fit! Update- they called me back, got my RA#. Very pleased with how Nick handled things- it was what I expected the first time. He verified the NERF bars will fit and will be changing the website so the universal intake does not show on list for vehicles with larger air outlets. Changing my rating to show my satisfaction with how it was eventually handled.

Easy to find and price was good. The product fit well. Works well so far

It was pretty easy, id do it again

Quick and easy checkout process...

quick & easy
