Personally, I think this hitch is fine.
However............
Do a search right here on this forum for aluminum vs steel and you will find many opinions that aluminum has "no" place on/in pickup trucks.
SAF-Holland has a FWAL aluminum 5th wheel hitch rated at 55000 lb load and 150000 draw. http://ww1.safholland.us/sites/usa/en-US/products/fifthwheels/FWALSeries/Pages/HOLLAND%20FWAL.aspx
Forged Aluminum Top Plate
The FWAL's top plate is forged by Alcoa from the same alloy as Alcoa aluminum truck wheels (6061-T6), providing the perfect combination of the lightest weight fifth wheel in the world, with strength and durability.
