If I were to do it over, I would go with a Trailer Saver. Nothing wrong the the B&W, we really like it and everything about it works great, but I would like a little more cushion between the truck and trailer, FWIW.

I like the TrailerSaver Air hitch also, but the one thing I don't like about it is that it attaches to the truck with rails. As far as I know, they don't make an attachment system for a gooseneck turnover ball. We're going to move from a TT to a 5th wheel soon, but I want to be able to remove the hitch and have a clean bed, so whatever hitch I get will attach via a gooseneck turnover ball, not rails.
