Yes ,the facts are in a product, the "TRUCK". No hitch is going to fix an overweight problem, especially if it was mounted in the wrong position to start.
He would have got the same handling problems with that B&W if it was mounted rear of center of axle.
First, the truck was not overloaded. 1200 lbs pin weight doesn't overload my truck. I have had over 2000 lbs pin weight with my gooseneck trailer and NO HANDLING ISSUES.
Second, the hitch was not mounted in the wrong position. The AUH mounts to the ball of the B&W. The arrow on the AUH MUST face the rear. This places the pin way behind the axle. This is the design of the hitch. It works great for those with heavy trucks but not for my situation.
I am therefore warning other aluminum bodied F150 owners to avoid this hitch.
Avoid this hitch, for what reason, it was mounted rear of the axle. That was the reason for your problems, yes I agree avoid this hitch if you can't mount it in the proper position. If the gooseneck ball was forward ,the hitch would be forward , no issue. You insist you followed direction from B&W ,thats WHY the B&W sits where its supposed to, and not the Andersen.
Better yet, research the rail mount Andersen. First off the rails are mounted to the frame , no worries about having to shim the bed with the gooseneck ball mounted hitches ,regardless of whether it was Andersen or B&W. Second there are a few different mounting options. First the hitch can be mounted in either direction. Second as you should know the adapter can be mounted in either direction
IMO ,yes the h
