Would the hitch be cheaper if ordered online?
Thanks!

Yes definitely, and I will price them out again however whenever possible I really like to try to buy at the local shops. As long as they are within a few hundred dollars of the online price Ill go through them.
It is always nice to get a cheaper price on something but when I have that friday afternoon issue that a good RV shop can solve for me and its out of business there is no comfort in knowing I saved a few hundred bucks over the years buying cheaper online.
Now with that said... If i can save $500 bucks or more then budget wins over my desire to help local business... I have to feed the kids
Getting the hitch might be cheaper online. But the delivery guy does not install them. Pay the dealer that has installed them before. Odds are they have at least some clue as to what they are doing.
If you already have "industry standard" rails installation would amount to hoisting the hitch into the bed and attaching it to the rails with the supplied pins! If you need the rails as well, then seek out someone who knows how to install them!
He hasn't supplied much information other then the Andersen hitch, could be the ball hitch or the industry standard rails. Regardless he can do an automatic hitch much cheaper then the $2200.00 he was quoted . I don't think I saw what year truck he had, could even have the fifth wheel prep, then it would just be a picture frame, and a Superglide auto hitch, still much cheaper then quoted. Lots of options cheaper then quoted .
