5th Wheel Hitches

I'm a newbie to this site. I am considering the purchase of a 2013 Crossroads Cruiser 5th wheel. I currently have a Travel Trailer. Would appreciate any thoughts anyone has on best types of hitches. I have a 1 ton Chevy Duramax long bed. Also thoughts on the Crossroad Cruiser 5th wheels. Trailer will have GVWR of 12K lbs.

    Not to derail but how is this different from the TriGlide Trail air setup?

    Love my TrailerSaver air hitch. Also have a MorRyde pin box. Great combination. Most folks like their hitches, I think you have to decide what is important to you. For us it was comfort and a smooth ride, thus an air ride hitch.

    This is one of those questions that what people have is probably what they will suggest. Our first hitch was a Reese and it worked great. We started traveling more and more so we now have a air hitch and really like it.

    I like "Curt", it has solid design. Built in American and they are great to work with as a company! Great locking system, extremely easy to operate and very safe!
