I am interested in the Anderson Ultimate (gooseneck ball mounted version) and want to know how much weight is on the truck bed? In other words will it bent my bed or put dings in it or is all of the weight on the ball?
This will work with the Ford/Reese gooseneck ball not just the B&W ball?
The bulk of the weight is on the ball but when you're moving the dynamic loads will be on the bed. That's just the nature of a turnover ball style hitch. It may deflect the bed a little bit but not enough to care about. I use the rail mount version of the Andersen and have been very happy with the way it performs. I prefer it to any standard style fifth wheel hitch - simple, light and smooth.
Very few people who actually use the hitch have anything bad to say about it. Nearly all of the folks making negative comments you see on this site about the Andersen haven't ever used one.
