Hi dfletch,
I have a Silverado 3500 DRW on order and am debating the pro's and con's of the B&W and the Curt.
My BIL has a B&W which he loves as he's able to separate it making two easy to lift parts and he can remove it by himself.
My dealer says the Curt is about 200 Lbs - no way I'll be able to handle that myself and I don't think it comes apart, could you confirm?
Plain and simple look at the two side by side, that should be enough to make your decision. If not then the Curt is known for causing CHUCKING since the heads pivot point is several inches below the kingpin attachment height. B&W's is in alignment.
If that's not enough then the CURT is made in China and the B&W is made in Kansas, USA.
Oh also the Curt has 1/2" kingpin jaws and the B&W has 1" machined jaws.
How about the color coded locking system with flimsy locking portion on the Curt compared to the simple handle no QUESTION if you are hitched system of the B&W.
There is more but I am tired of typing.
