Andersen Hitch
Anyone out there have one of these? I could use some feedback on the Ultimate. I especially want to know how things ride inside the rig when you have this hitch...

Anderson really hedges on the requirement for safety chains! I would get tired along with my front jacks with the extra lifting to couple or uncouple it. Trailer has to be lifted and extra 3 or 4"!
I would like to see one after a wreck? Compress test is testing it in a single direction at it's strongest point.
Like the B&W Companion I am not convinced placing hitch loads on sheet metal beds is the best long term design!
Traditional 5th wheel hitches when correctly installed put the load on the frame rails.
If I get a new RAM it will have factory prep and a four puck hitch that locks onto the frame.

Me Again, could not agree with you more!! I believe that both B&W and Anderson have had issues with bending the bed floor.
Sorry, but for all the bad press, I am convinced that my Reese 16K twin jaw hitch is a great hitch. That especially when I have towed my fiver over 30 miles, with the locking latch in the unlocked position!
Solidly connected to the frame at four locations!!
Sorry Cummins9812V, I may someday think about the rail mounted Patriot, but not one that depends on the sheet metal bed floor.
