I follow Andersen hitches on Facebook and they have announced a redesign of their Aluminum Ultimate Fifth Wheel Hitch...here are some screen shots of the Facebook post. Thanks! Jere...

Well, when the hitch bends like it did under only heavy braking, that does tend to make one think that the hitch is either not strong enough, or under-engineered. If a sudden stop would do that, what would happen in a full stop collision? Would the hitch completely fail and allow the trailer to come into the cab area?
Lots of people have complained about their non-Anderson hitch being hard to open, hard to close, noisy, too much clearance, etc. But this is the only hitch I've ever seen posted by someone, that wasn't involved in an accident, that is obviously damaged.
Even if the trailer brakes were faulty, IMO that hitch shouldn't have distorted like it did. I'm glad to hear that their replacing hitches with the new design. IMO they should recall all the old ones to be replaced.
