Hitch recomendation

We just bought a new to us 2013 Denali drw and now we need a hitch to pull our Bay Hill 340RK. Last year we used our F250 with a superglide, great hitch but obviously don't need the slider in the new truck. I was dead set on getting the B@W turnover and companion but some friends said the Reese Elite is a better hitch. However I read of people having problems with unhitching and even dropping trailers with the Reese. I do kind of like the idea of the Reese puck system and even thought about getting the companion to go with that. Now I'm really torn, Probably cant go wrong with either and just need to pick one. Any suggestions? Thank You

  • I use the B&W 3600 in the truck in my sig. I had the B&W 3300 in my 2012 Ram and had the Reese undermount in that truck. I have the Ram undermount in my 2014. I had issues with the undercount on the Reese. I eventually figured it out on my own and it was simple fix. However, when I called Reese customer service they were useless at helping me. B & w customer service was great even sending me replacement parts without cost. The B&W is American made in Kansas with American steel and the folks are great to work with. The hitch is very easy to hitch and unhitch which is great. Anyway do your own research call both companies and ask your questions.
  • GM doesn't have a puck system yet. I just installed a new B&W Patriot using mounting rails in my new Silverado. Also had a Super Glide in my last truck. Although the Super Glide was a great hitch, this B&W is so simple to use and quiet it's in a different league. I wish they made a 20K version of the Patriot.

  • I have a Reese Elite (using the puck system) and love it. The Reese Elite has a wrap around jaw that latches the king pin. I think the ones you have heard about dropping were the older clam shell type hitches.

    I don't know that the Reese Elite is any better or worse than the B&W (or Pullrite, or Curt, or etc.). Don't know that you can go wrong with any of the newer name brand hitches.
