Because B&W rates their hitches conservatively. Just look at the ridiculous 24K rating of the Andersen and then compare it to s B&W Companion that is rated at 20K.
Bottom line if you are in the market for a non air ride hitch there in none better than the B&W hitches. Just compare the simple solid design to any other hitch out there before buying.
If it matters a lot of REESE hitches are made in Mexico if not all and ALL of CURT 5th wheel hitches are now made in CHINA. PullRite as far as I know are made in USA as is the full line of B&W products.
Hitch in pic B&W RVK3600 25K towing and 6,250# pin.
Not disputing that at all..but the Reese 25k has the same rating and is a significant hitch as well... No reports of failures or major issues with the Reese 25k elite.
I share your sentiment about the Andersen....there is at least one report on an Amazon review where the Anndersen socket cracked. Now it's an Amazon review so TIFWIW....but the kingpin socket is where I would expect the failures to be with the Andersen...not so much the hitch itself but the kingpin adaptor.
Thanks!
