I really thought the B&lW would fit on any ball. I've talked to people that had that setup. I'm using a B&W that fits on factory puck system. After 4 other hitches non of them compared to the B&W.
Thanks for the reply Kenneth,
I had hoped to use a B&W hitch because of all the great reviews. But it looks like the Andersen gets just a high marks, so I don't think I can go wrong either way.
I searched for a B&W adapter for the GMC gooseneck and found out it is a Reese product they use that is welded to the truck frame. It is not the four puck system that is used for the fifth wheel hitch attachment. I would have thought GMC would sell it as a combination package where it includes both the FW and GN puck attachment points. I think that's the only way Ford does it.
Also, it is a completely different shaped attachment than the B&W. It will fit but apparently there is a lot of play in it. As I said in my OP, the Reese is shank is round and uses a double pin system to secure the ball in place.
Regards,
Tom
