I see these posts about Anderson, Reese, B&W, etc and I wonder if anyone will spend the money to change their hitch based on such recommendations.
I had a hitch I really liked in my old truck (F250 Powerstroke w/Cody Coupler gooseneck) but the new truck (2500HD Duramax) came with a Reese slider. I have no real complaints and do not think it is worth the $$$$ to change back, unless I could do so for free :D, BUT I do think about it sometimes.
So the question is are there 5er people that are so dissatisfied with their present hitch that they would be willing to spend money to change.
Assuming you did not buy a 16000lb hitch and realized you had a 25000lb trailer ;)
I am not trying to start a debate about one hitch versus another. Lets face it we all pretty much believe the other guy bought the wrong hitch and we bought the right hitch for what ever reason.
When I was searching for a hitch, I had 2 requirements. First, I had to have a clean bed when the hitch was removed. Second, I also needed a gooseneck as we have a GN trailer that I tow. Also, after having so-so experience with a folding GN ball, I wanted to avoid that. That left me with only a couple choices and I went with B&W, and am glad I did. The only reason I'd change hitches at this point, would be if I went with a FW that exceeded my old Companion's rating and would stay with the newer one, if that was within my FW's spec. I don't ever seeing myself going so big that I'd need anything else.
