Looking at a Highland Ridge, need some help.........
Ok, It's 35ft 10in. Unloaded weight is 8900lbs. Looks good, getting ready to trade in my F150 2.7 for a 2016 F150 3.5......What does everyone think? Model is 315BHS. Thanks, Jim

The Andersen Ultimate is basically a gooseneck setup that eliminates the negatives to a standard gooseneck adapter. There's a version that mounts on a standard gooseneck ball and a rail mount version. I have the latter and love it.
Hopefully my mention of Andersen doesn't nuke the thread...
I agree with you...The Andersen Ultimate hitch is a 5er hitch, not considered a GN set up.
Jim
Still a ball hitch and, in AZ, would require safety chains. All this is a moot point, since the OP is considering an Open Range model, which comes FROM THE FACTORY with a GN hitch.

That's a great feature, imo - nothing better than a gooseneck hitch. I went with the Andersen instead cause I don't like the stresses the standard adapters put on fifth wheels, but it would be even better to just use a ball down on the bed if it comes that way from the factory.
Safety chains are no big deal as far as I'm concerned. I got a pair of them including the mounting bolts for about $45 from etrailer. With what I paid for my rails and Andersen I'm still under $600 in total cost for the entire hitch setup, including the chains.
