"See, you finally got it. B&W can't make a hitch rated at 25K for Ford and others can. It only took you about 5 posts to figure it out."
Just spoke to B&W my side to side mimi shock absorber that has a small leak. They are sending me out a new one today.
I asked about the 20K Puck system rating on the Ford and GM's. They said they test to the weakest component as in puck attachment and base footprint. RAM has the strongest frame/puck attachment and largest base so they were able to give it a 25K rating. They could not give the other two more than 20K as their stringent testing and high standards would not allow it.
Come on Ron, if the chinese can build a hitch with higher ratings based on the trucks they had shipped over there for their testing wouldn't you think a honest American company could push their numbers higher?:W :W :W
I do wonder if there is a fine print disclaimer on these numbers that applies to the hitch ONLY?
I think I will go buy a craftsman Shop vac today, I hear they "DEVELOPE" 6HP. :B
