On the B&W, the weight is not carried by the bed floor. It is carried by the square bar that inserts into the square gooseneck ball hole. The bar mounts into the gooseneck hitch the same way the ball mounts into it. The bar bottoms out on the bottom of the hole, just as the ball bottoms out in the hole, and is pinned in place by the sliding pin that also locates the ball.
Respectfully disagree!
Hold down bolt tightened to 40 ft. Lbs. pressing the hitch into the bed floor and lifting the square ball insert UP! To make up that lift requires more weight to be placed on the bed floor. So to put any weight on the ball requires over coming the the 40 ft. Lbs. of lift earlier.
