So light a child can remove it from the truck
Check out This Video From Andersen on their new Aluminum Ultimate Fifth Wheel hitch... No this isn't the 9 minute version with a lot of bad acting. Just the good stuff. Game Changer? I don't ...

Think about the weight that is applied when the brakes are hit hard and winging over some of these overpasses the hitch IS pushing fore and aft and it will and does deflect the bed. I have dents to prove it in the 11 I just traded. Once I installed the strips the deflection stopped!
Makes sense there would be fore and aft forces applied during travel, I was speaking more generally about the vertical load and carrying capacities. B&W must have realized the issue via testing or real world exposure and corrected it by providing the strips. The strips now provide a solid/compressible contact point between the fifth wheel hitch and the gooseneck hitch and "bottom" corrugations, and not the "top" corrugations which could be dented. If it happened using the B&W, then the possibility is there that it would happen using the Anderson also, since it sits on top of the corrugations.
