I was thinking of purchase a used B&W 3300 hitch from a local couple for $500.00. But, maybe I should purchase a new hitch for around $1,200.00 from a local dealer and have it set up for additional $75.00 to insure proper operation. What are recommendations and or additional help. This hitch is go to set in a new 2017 Ford dually.
Not trying to be cheep and make a big mistake.
My brother bought his Companion off Craigslist and has had zero issues with it. Bought the TO Ball base new, though. Biggest issue with B&W is making sure the rubber heads that the hitch sits on haven't degraded. I've seen a couple where the idio...er, owner has left the cross-piece off and the rubber has sun rotted. Not a huge expense to replace the side pieces, but would =really= affect what I'd pay for a Companion in that condition.
