I have the 20k Companion for the Ford OEM hitch, and have used a Companion for the last 11 years towing a Suites. I am short and getting to the release/safety peg is a chore, I usually stand on the outer dual wheel. Still, I like the hitch and quality. One thing to use might be one of the stands that you hang on the dual wheel, or a short folding stepladder.
No way to get around it that I know of. Another problem that I have is when in a curved campsite that places the door away from the road, it pivots the truck/trailer to where it is much more difficult to get to the pin/lever from the driver side--sometimes have had to get in bed from pass side to get to the pin/lever.
Still, I like the Companions design and quality--see lots of combos with the hitch handle sticking way up above the bed rail, just don't like that.
Have NO experience with any other brand of hitch....so my outlook is kind of thin on hitch brands.
