Something strange about their statements that does not add up. On their website, the product description for the coupler says
And since the coupler rides on a ball, it has more swivel in every direction than any other 5th wheel hitch available.. Yet the FAQ wants to claim there is no ball pivot. It says specifically
The Andersen Ultimate Connection does not utilize a latch nor does it pivot at the point of the ball.Which is totally false. When you attach their coupler to the 2" king pin, the point of connection is clearly a ball connection just like any other.
