Your words above.
Until you have towed with a B&W you really don't know what a quality easy to use hitch is all about.
I thought RBW was great until I listened to a friend and bought a B&W.
You won't find anyone saying I wish I did not have a B&W.
You already have a top quality truck now get a top quality hitch to go with it!
tweetys.com is the place to buy B&W.
I have to agree with you guys on the B&W being a quality hitch, but what I would like to hear from you or other B&W owners is what the OP is giving up with purchasing a Husky hitch. I have towed with a couple different hitches, and found no issues with the purpose of a fifth wheel hitch. both were solid, and did what they were supposed to do . I have no doubt the Husky will do the same. Is the B&W going to tow a fifth any different then any other hitch ? I can't imagine how it could. The only hitches I am aware that change the quality of towing is the air ride hitches or pin boxes. Fixed hitches IMO will all tow the same, some are more noisy then others, but I have to guess it would mostly be the sliding hitches that make more noise then a fixed non slider.
To the OP I would not hesitate getting the Husky, I would comparison shop to see if in all reality you are getting a good price on it. As many have said they have had many years service from husky hitches with no issues. I wouldn't let the naysayers scare you away from a quality hitch, and a good deal.
