5th wheel hitches
We are about to buy a newer truck. It will be a 2017 F350. We'll be pulling a Solitude which weighs about 12,650 lbs. empty. What hitch would you recommend for that setup?

I’d recommend the one that’s available to you locally.
In theory, I like the design of the Reese dual jaw design. The pivot is ahead of the Jaw so when closed around the pin the force actually pulls the jaws closed.
In practice, they all work if operated per the instructions.
(Updated statement) I think B&W makes a great hitch.
(Retracted statement : “They all make a DOT approved hitches.”)
All major hitch manufacturers, in my opinion, make safe hitches if used in their design parameters.
How much do you want to spend? There is a manufacturer willing to take your money at all price points.
Thanks!
