5th wheel hitches

I now use a B&W 18K Patriot . I have had aReese 16k and destroyed 2 Andersens :S before giving in. A Traisaver would be only other brand I would consider now.

I have the Pullrite Superglide 16k. It's close to 200 pounds, too. It lives in the truck. If someone wants to steal it, I'll take my chances, as it is a real back breaker to get out of the rails.

There is a reason I named it the “B&W HeavyWeight FanBoy Club”

You are stronger than you think!:C The 3300 pieces are about 75 lbs each.

I’ve had 4 or 5 different hitches. Finally got convinced to get B& W. It’s a puck hitch. Best hitch I’ve ever used. I’ve used Pullright and it’s good but my current truck is DRW long bed. B&W is perfect.

The new (for us) truck will be a 2017 Ford F350 6.7 SD, CC, LB, 4X4, 4.10 King Ranch. I would assume it has the puck system.

I own a 2017 350 Platinum and they don't have 4.10 gears. Maybe you are buying a dually?
3.55 and 3.10

I have 3.55 with 20's and is a tow beast!

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.

I'm all in on the B&W, as stated it can be hitched and unhitched with RV and Truck on different planes no issue. They are simple and solid with no question if your hitched connections. B&W's head pivot point is right at the kingpin's height. All of B&W's products are Made In USA.

I also use a 1/8" this slip plate, by Hensley...

**** Dude, you been reading my B&W posts?

Lol...thought the same! Just shows people do listen, when good advice is given. It could have been a copy/paste.:B
