Ford hitch differences
I have a F350 with the tow prep package in an 8 ft bed. I'd like to get a hitch from Ford. On their accessories web page they offer 2 hitches. The one rated for 27.5k GTWR is $200 cheaper than the hit...

B&W are known to be underrated and I would have no problem at all going at the full 20k with their hitch. However, one thing to remember about them is they are taller than the Reese. So at each height adjustment, they are almost exactly 2" taller. With my current truck I have my hitch all the way down and my pin box all the way up and I am just level. B&W would put me 2" nose high. Also, the new 17 Fords are 1.5" or so taller than the outgoing generation so my new 17 in the spring would would put my RV almost 4" nose high with a B&W. No joy for my setup. If they made one that was shorter and rated to 21k, it would be another option for a lot of guys that their current one won't work for...
The specs I found list the height adjustments as very similar. I will have no trouble towing level with adequate clearance.
The specs are exactly 2" different. The lowest setting on the B&W is 16" and the lowest on the Reese is 14". I'm glad you don't have any trouble. I would with my current truck and RV. My upcoming 17 would be even worse.
