First trip with Andersen Ultimate Hitch
Just completed our first trip with the new Andersen Ultimate FW hitch. 1580 miles and I must say I am really pleased with the hitch's performance. No chucking or bucking. Easy loading and unloading to...

I have a serious question, why don't they have a hitch that drops into the pucks?
Something I had posted also. To remain serious in the FW hitch market, they need to make a hitch for the big 3 puck systems. Much stronger, better, easier fastening, than any single point attachment. I suppose using an adapter, you could make an Andersen for rails work with the pucks. Still more expense, more weight, and maybe allow more movement.

Along those same lines, nearly all fifth wheel hitch manufacturers STILL make hitches for single point and rail attachment. The "puck" system is a relatively new innovation that has its merits. But to discount a single point attachment which has been used for many decades to haul larger, more robust loads (equipment, cattle trailers) is just silly. Truth be told, not all new trucks are being sold with the pucks. In fact, to my knowledge, it's not considered standard equipment on GM trucks like it is on Ford/Ram trucks. Considering the many different ways I use my truck, I'm quite happy NOT to have the pucks.
