Had and still do have a Reese 16k sitting in my shed that I used for several years. IMO, thought it was a decent hitch at that time for coach we had. When we got the new RV, wanted something a little more HD and decided on the B&W 18K Patriot as I already had rails in truck. One of the best decisions I made. Sadly tho, I was at and over some weight limits on the truck, so ended up getting a DRW and still the use of rails. Went w/ B&W's and OMG talk about HD!!! Thought that Reese was decent as that's what I uses on previous truck. B&W's rails are massive for rails. To the point, all I can say is this is one very satisfied user of B&W's products. In fact just installed a B&W adjustable/turnover ball to yank snowmobile trailer around and this thing is heavy. Whew!! I could have went w/ another brand, but based on use of their products already, was an easy choice. Not sure if we will ever upgrade to a heavier RV, but if we do, you can bet there will be a B&W hooking to it.
