Reese 20k for RAM oem hitch prep
Good evening everyone hope all is well. I have a question for those of you using a reese hitch with the RAM factory hitch preparation. I purchased another reese elite 20k for this RAM, as I really lik...

haha well the B&W came in this afternoon, quite impressed with how quickly it showed up, only ordered it on Friday. Anyway first thing I noticed was how much heavier it was than the reese! which is fine, but I must say I am a MUCH bigger fan of the design on the B&W.... I really hated that the adjustment for the reese was on the inside of the tubing where you had to use the provided wrench which lets just say did not work at all.
The installation couldn't have gone smoother took about an hour start to finish. and as you had stated Cummins12v98, I too only had very minor adjustment on one leg to let it slide into place comfortably. I had to make some minor adjustments to the castle nuts to snug up the handle operation. Best part is, I CAN REMOVE THE HITCH!! I may have some adjustments required yet to make if fit the trailer as nessecary, but so far I have it set on 17" directly over the axle so well see where that gets me when I hook up tomorrow. I like the cam activated jaws, I think that will be slick for hook up. This is my first hitch with a full wrap around jaw. Also I noticed that the side to side pivot action is controlled by two pistons? I can only assume that this really aids in a smooth operation. Anyways really looking forward to trying it out, looks like a nice hitch to me. I guess my only advice would be for everyone to stay away from Reese until they get this **** figured out! I was not the only one to return the same Reese product this week at my dealer.
