And that is the real problem...people, the operators. Most of the problems would go away if newbies would read their owners manuals and follow them. But, if that were the case nobody would have anything to chat about.

Well, as one who has dropped his FW and also has a B&W hitch, I admit it was 100% user error...after 15 years of using this hitch dozens of times.

Better to sacrifice the trailer than endanger the people in the truck.
