Thanks for the information so far, I researched the Anderson Ultimate and really like it. Cost is about $700 for the hitch, chains if needed are another $90. Also found the B&W ball mount at about $500 so $1200-$1300 is about the cost plus installation which I can handle, probably take a half day or so.
I'm a B&W fanboy, so will always recommend them, in any form. As the RAMs are really short, you'd likely be best served with a slider of some sort. If you get an auto-slider, be aware that B&W does not support the use of them and will void their warranty if you do use one.
Also, if you do go with the AUH, spend the money for the chains. There are states that consider it a ball hitch, no different than a bumper pull, and =require= chains. AZ is one of them. Now, actual enforcement is a different story...
