My!! Just as I suspected when I originally posted this inquiry. I thank each and every one of you who replied to my post for sharing your opinions. My take on this is that whatever you have in the bed of your truck is PROBABLY the best hitch on the market. I suspect that when I ultimately buy a hitch (based largely on all of your input), it will be the very best available (whether it is in fact). I didn't mean to kick a hornets nest, but I have enjoyed the animated discussion it has generated. I'll repost after the fact, and share my thoughts then.
Thanks again!!!
