If above is true, and warranty voided (first time I've heard this), seems they would have a reason? Does anyone know what this reason is?
I agree, the leverage issue, of the old gooseneck attachment, would not be present with the Andersen. I could see where a FW could tilt further on an Andersen ball, more so than with most conventional hitches, maybe causing a little more strain on the frame?
Anyway, like mentioned above, the hitch will work for the OP if he learns the limitations, like many of us have, when not using a long bed truck.
I'll add, to the OP, that I'd not use the B&W bed mounted extended ball, to move the connection further rearward. IMO, this would possibly cause further issues, such as tailgate, or bedrail damage.
