Andersen Ultimate Hitch Rail Version
Anyone give me the advantages/disadvantages of this hitch? I have rails in truck bed so would they work? I see them on Amazon for $399. Does that include everything I would need? Thanks.

fanbois and nay-sayers on both sides ... which I don't get ... if you like the hitch you have, you can keep the hitch you have! Doesn't make one any better by knocking the other.
So, that being said, I had a Valley 16k hitch in my old truck. When I upgraded trucks, the new one had a gooseneck ball in it already. Since I want a clean bed when I'm not towing, I went with the Andersen Ultimate (Aluminum) and love it.
Pros:
significantly lighter weight
easy in and out
flat bed (when on a turnover ball)
no additional torque or flex on pinbox like a gooseneck adapter
impossible to high-hitch
Cons:
slightly more complex to hitch/unhitch
safety chains (some states)
