Which 5th Wheel Hitch?
After ten years in a 30'TT, I'm planning to graduate to a 5th Wheel. I drive an F350 long bed diesel. I assume everyone has a favorite hitch, probably the one in the bed of his truck, but what should...

I would avoid Reese.
At ALL COST!!! I had an 18K Reese Elite that I bought from Ford when I got the new truck in 2010. It was great for a while, but got so sloppy that the king pin would actually raise up out of the hitch!! Worst hitch ever made!!
I got a B&W recently and LOVE IT!! I tow with much more confidence now!!
And it fits perfectly in the Ford 5th wheel prep pucks.

Thats a pretty amazing statement , considering there is nowhere for the kingpin or jaws to go up, and down , possibly front to back, but up, and down not possible ,unless your kingpin had excessive wear. Have the same hitch, just not possible the way the hitch is constructed, and have towed thousands of miles with that hitch, without issue.
You are the first I have read about that has reported anything about a problem like that with the signature or elite Reese hitch.
