This is a recipe for dropping the 5er!

Most of the damaged trucks I have seen have REESE hitches. Seriously I would sell what you have and buy a B&W.

You should not have any problems hitching or unhitching!

Flame on!

Cummins is trying to be helpful here. He has been a strong supporter of the B&W hitches, and has taken some flame for it in the past.

I had a B&W installed last April, when I changed trucks. I've used several brands of hitches, without a lot of problems. When twisted at an angle, up hill or down, most hitches are hard to open. I have yet to have my B&W not open easily, no matter what position the truck and trailer are in.

I would change to a different hitch, instead of fighting with what ever brand I had, if it was not working for me.

Happy Holidays to all,
Jerry

MFL thanks for the support!

Please give an example of brand bashing from me.

I have used RBW hitches in the past and knowing what I know now there is no way I would use one again. Is saying most of the trucks with bed damage I have seen have REESE or a similar design BASHING????? Saying there is something about the design is bashing?

I give my opinion on what I see and what I have used so newbies or people looking for a different hitch will have some real world experience to help with making a decision rather than what some salesman wants to sell them because that is what they make the most money on.

If the above is bashing then I am officially known as the BASHER from now on!

Merry Christmas all!
