Sounds to me like the Anderson is far from the best choices out there?
For your use, no not the best choice. Also, Andersen does not make a direct fit to the puck system. The best Andersen hitch uses the rail mount system, with 4-point attachment.

I agree, but the facts still need to be said ,instead of just bashing the hitch. The rail mount IMO is the better of the two.
With his Megacab the rail mount Andersen is the best choice going that route, thats what I tow with, and not an issue with clearance, chucking ,and all the other nonsense some would like you believe.
Most likely with his choice of fifth wheel the front corners are probably more rounded then my older fifth wheel, although the corners are rounded. They are building more that way because of the high number of people preferring short bed 1 ton crew cab trucks for towing fifth wheels. Getting more popular as time goes on. The OP is going with a short bed. Yes the rail mount Andersen would be an EXCELLENT choice.
SO, if I'm reading this right, the rail-mount Anderson would be a good choice, only if the 5th wheel front cap is rounded enough to not impact the truck rear window? Is the rail-mount a manual slider?
But, if the front cap is rounded enough to prevent impact in tight turns, a slider wouldn't be needed anyway, right?
