I am looking at a trailer with a hitch weight under 2000 lbs and preferable closer to 1850. And a total weight of 10K or so. Both figures are for the light weight.
I have been looking at hitches. I am thinking of the BD3 hitch on the truck and the Reese sidewinder as I have a short bed. Any thoughts?
I've got a rail mount Andersen hitch in my short bed Ram and I love it. It's light, very well constructed and it's rock solid in terms of how it tows. My cab clears fine, and my fifth wheel isn't one of the newer ones with the rounded front-end. I think between the offset ball and the kingpin adapter you get about 8" of total offset.
The hitch itself only weighs about 35 lbs so it's very easy to get it in and out of the bed.
Bonus: it's made right here in Idaho.
