Reese hitch
Looking at getting a new fiver 8526RLWS with revolution pin box. TV is Ram 2500 with factory prep. Hoping someone has used the 30160 Reese hitch and can comment thanks in advance

I wasn't happy with Reese either. I had a Reese Elite hitch. Nothing but problems trying to unhook. Jaw would not release easily. Dealer replaced head assemble under warranty. Sold it shortly after. Now I use a Husky. It works effortlessly.
If you use a picture frame adapter wouldn't any standard hitch work?
Totally the opposite of my Reese Elite. when unhooking I raise the fifth wheel until the weight is off the hitch ,but no higher, pull the handle, and drive away. Not once have I had an issue with the jaws not releasing.
Sounds like he wants to stay away from the picture frame, if I had it to do over today, it would be the Andersen. Can't see why the Andersen wouldn' work great with the Reese Revolution pin box.
Up2nogood, I know others like the Reese hitch. My experience certainly wasn't the same as yours. Maybe I had a defective unit. I wish it worked as well for me. I unhook exactly the way you describe. I tried everything with mine but nothing seemed to help.
If your talking about the Andersen Ultimate I don't think it will work. The pinbox has to be wedged in the hitch so it can't pivot.
