Anderson Ultimate??
Just got to see, for the first time, one of those Anderson ultimate hitches. That seems to be a pretty handy, dandy device. Any opinions on it?

MeAgain has mentioned this subject MANY times over the last few years! You are the FIRST owner to actually admit it can be an issue.
I`m curious why is this a problem for you. If I leave my tail gate up I have to lift high to, so
Not sure if I am understanding, but sounds like you are backing under pin with tailgate up?? If this is the case, due to clearance issues, you would almost certainly be better off by adding a V-gate.

Thats not the case with the Andersen. With a standard 5th hitch you only need to raise the pin up about 1/4" higher than the 5th hitch. so if your truck sags 2" then you just have to raise it 2-1/4" to unhitch.
With the Andersen you have to raise it the 2" for truck sag plus the height of the ball socket in the coupler (2-1/2")and another 1/4 to 1/2". That all adds up to almost 5" of travel. More if your truck sags more. It will take twice as long to unhitch.
