B&W "FANBOY" Club President here. The Curt is Made in China. My inlaw has the 25K Curt/RAM in his DRW Ram. I saw him a couple days ago and the first thing he told me while watching me disconnect from my RV with my B&W was "I have a lot of trouble getting mine to disconnect". He told me the exact same thing last Summer. I actually hitched and unhitched his Curt a couple times and it is not easy as it should be.
You DON'T want a difficult hitch that can lead to disaster. Besides that there are only 2 bolts holding the head to the base on each side of the Curt. There are 4 grade 8 bolts on each side of the B&W.
The Curt jaws are 1/2" thick and the B&W are a full 1" machined jaw. The Curt handle has a color coding system and a flimsy lock location. The B&W is a simple no question locking handle.
