They have a king pin mocked up in the jaws. This is a Q24 but the Q20 looks the same...
As you can see the view is very clear to see if the Jaws are wrapped around the pin.
Thanks!

Now someone please show the same shot with a B&W and you will see the jaws are twice as thick. The thicker jaws make it less likely to high hitch also if it's dark and someone is not looking closely.
Not saying the Curt is a bad hitch just want people to really compare before buying.
Here is a thread with the pics of a B&W Patriot however it doesn't have the king pin mocked up.

Here is a screen shot for those who do not want to scroll down... Sorry for the time and battery life at the top :(

The B&W is a super nice design too. I do like the jaws being thicker and I like how te jaws are machined as a matched pair.
Overall, both hitches seem to make it very easy to visually ensure the jaws are wrapped around the king pin..
Thanks!
