There's a thought, I just called Eckhart & was $1600.00 installed.
Torklift told me $1,600.00-to $2,600.00.
Ouch!
Torklift told around $500-600.00 just to install.
That is very expensive. I would be inclined to purchase a custom fifth wheel rail kit for your Truck and do the install myself. ETrailer.com has videos of the installs and generally they are not to bad looking.
As far as craigslist goes, I saw An Andersen Ultimate hitch for only $200 ish on there the other day. I see Reese and Curt all the time for cheap. Heck, I see B&W hitches on there from time to time for very affordable prices.
I do understand the chucking issue and trying to solve the problem. And I understand needing the pieces in a timely manner. Sometimes you just can’t wait for a deal.
Thanks!
