1. Pick a hitch that exceeds the GVWR of your trailer.
2. Pick a hitch that fits your pocketbook.
I don't know of any bad hitches out there, just a lot of different opinions as to which is the best. Think about the clean bed vs rails. My hitch is never removed. Figure out your situation and let your pocketbook guide you.
Slider vs Non Slider. I'm on my 3rd 5th wheel(all with the sculptured front) with a SB Ford (6.5). I started with a slider because "that's what everyone said I needed". Never used it. Never needed it. It could happen though. I'm now with a Non Slider. Just have to watch the clearances when backing.
