Andersen Aluminum Ultimate Hitch Redesigned
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...

I'm a little late, but here are my thoughts. I like the idea of bringing the ball to the hitch, rather than the goose neck to the ball. If the hitch was bent in a collision, understandable. To deform from braking, IMO, is not acceptable.
I know some are towing heavy with these hitches, and are happy. I do not have one, but if I did get one, I would choose the rail model, due to it just seeming to be more solid in the bed, again JMO.
I do not need or want an Andersen hitch, but I have actually promoted them to others with a specific need. They are light weight, so helpful, when payload is an issue. I think they will help with clearance issues for people with 6.5 bed.
Myself, I would not trust these early models, up to anywhere near what they are rated for, but that is just me. The engineers that design these things know more than me.
