To the prior trolly assertion by Cummins that the Andersen's "ONLY" advantage is installation and removal, I'd submit the following:

- More affordable
- Made in Idaho (I like local)
I'm not saying it's better, but there are multiple factors to consider beyond ease of installation and removal.

Not true because I did it and I had the smashed tailgate to prove it. You definitely can high hitch a B & W Companion so I would highly recommend you still do a pull test. The only time I got in a hurry and skipped it I paid for it.
