New Blue Ox Bed Saver
Just got our hitch back from Blue Ox with the new Bed Saver (new part # for them) - looks good and this is one part I hope to not need.

Get a B&W you do not need a bed saver, save your money. With their simple yet strong design as long as the kingpin and 5th wheel plates are touching the handle is closed and locked and a visual that the 1" thick silver jaws are closed around the kingpin it is properly hitched and no pull test is need.
This is amazing every time I read this from you. Let me point these things out to you on my REESE hitch , as long as the kingpin, and 5th wheel plates are touching , the handle is closed and locked, a visual that the REESE 1" thick BLACK JAW are closed around the kingpin it is properly hitched, and no pull test is needed. I will take one step back if the handle is closed on my REESE hitch ,and locked, then there is no need for a visual the jaw is closed. Granted I could paint the jaw silver or white, but why I don't really look at it anyway. The kingpin ,and fifth wheel plates are touching the handle is closed , and locked I am hooked.
So IMO if you do the things mentioned above ,and even add the pull test on any hitch then save your money , forget the bedsaver.
