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.

The visual really is not needed just another thing for someone to do if they want peace of mind.

Not sure how to take your post.

My post was for people looking for a new or needing a replacement hitch.

If you are confident in your hitch that is great.
