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 have a Friend that says to me "prove it" when I claim something. I have searched this statement every way possible with ZERO hits.
So I am respectfully asking you to prove your statement.
Good call Cummins12V98.
Since you didn't specify, I will address both parts of my statement that you quoted.
Respectfully, I can't substantiate the statement that B&W makes a great hitch. I don't use them as they are pretty expensive and my regular not B&W hitches work just fine and I see no need to upgrade my equipment at this time.
I was mostly going off your copious testimonies about how wonderful they are, and I believe YOU and many other B&W users that I know both online and off.
As to the DOT reference, you are correct. I can't find one either. Think before you post kinda thing I suppose. Sorry about that, my bad.
I can't even find a standard for build quality on ANY hitch in the US that a regular consumer would use. Admittedly, I didn't delve into the world of commercial trucks.
No argument from me I was wrong.
Thanks!
