Anderson ultimate 5th wheel hitch

Very smooth ride with my 12,000 pound trailer and you gotta love 5 minute install and removal.

I bought the Andersen when I bought my new truck 2 years ago, love it!

Looked at pullrite. It uses the rail. The andersen uses my existing goose neck ball.

It's a great hitch and absolutely worth consideration right alongside most every other hitch. Thousands upon thousands of people use it or have used it, yet the reported number failures of any kind is less than a handful.

Aluminum hitch frame. Fits over existing ball. Under 40 pounds. Looks like a great hitch to save on weight.

The search feature is your friend. Many, many pages of the pros/cons of the AUH vs "traditional" hitches.

As with all hitches, there have been failures of the AUH, but they =have= responded quickly to them. Personally, I found the "crush test" they pushed very hard a few years ago to be totally unrealistic as the vertical loads on any hitch are minuscule compared to the fore/aft loads. The failures on the AHU all, AFAIK, were from extreme braking situations that caused the front of the hitch to deform to the point that the hitch became virtually unusable. Just my observations on them. Again, personally, I'd not own one and will be happy to stick with my old-school B&W Companion until the end of my RVing days.

Lots of folks on this web use it. Given time they can respond.

Also the PullRite Superlite hitch is the same design. Check it out.
