Hi can any body tell me why the front pucks holes are smaller than the rear puck holes.I pull a gooseneck trailer and the rears drop in, but will not fit the front.Ball works fine. I an using the Reese systenwith the factory prep package.Its really not a problem but I had to ask.

I would assume for the safety chains.

Or in my case the picture frame the wrong way around. Also maybe case of a wreck they thought the rears should be larger and stronger. Chris

My question is this, is this package worth it to include in a purchase?

Harness is a given. So $265 for pucks is a bargain. Mor importantly a MUCH better attachment system.

Thanks Chris!

Factory option is the pucks, gooseneck and the in bed 7 pin. So factory option is cheaper overall.

I do not need the gooseneck hitch, so it worked out for me.

Two choices, Companion 20K slider or the Companion 25K. You bought what you felt was the best truck now buy the best hitch.

Read my comparison of the Curt vs B&W thread "Curt Q24 or B&W Companion 20"
