New F250 and BW hitch
I was worried that I might have to lift the trailer since the new truck is higher than my old 2500HD, and the new hitch is taller too. I didn't want to assemble and install the new hitch if it was not...

Went on a spur of the moment 450km round trip with the wife. We wanted to see how the new TV behaved. Overall we liked it! I wouldn't say that it pulled WAY better than the old 2500, but it is a much nicer ride. NO clunking or chucking at all from the hitch, and it was really easy to connect and disconnect it. I towed In "D" with 6th locked out and the tow/haul mode on. For the most part it stayed in 5th, with the occasional downshift to 4th. There are a couple steep gullies we went through where it downshifted to 3rd on the way back up. On the return trip I put the info screen in "offroad" mode and these grades registered as 3 degrees with a brief flash to 4 deg. On a 2 deg slope it would downshift to 4th and stay there. On these same hills the 2500 would downshift to 2nd. Also, the non-slider hitch is just fine with this trailer. I jack-knifed it to 45 degrees while parking it and still have clearance.
