Picked up our new F250 today. It does not have the puck system....nothing in the bed. I want to use the Anderson Ultimate hitch and need to have a gooseneck ball below the bed system installed. Would love to hear your suggestions....B&W, Reese, Curt, Draw-tite, other?

Good choice on the hitch, and please don't let the naysayers scare you away ,they have never towed a mile with one , I have . There are thousands of Andersen hitches out there doing a great job .

Can't help on the ball, but I would think anyone of them would work .I have the steel rail mount Andersen .

Before you buy the Anderson, look at reviews on Amazon. I really wanted one until my wife looked up the reviews and said she wouldn't ride in the truck with me if I had that hitch...

I can find you bad reviews on anything. I have towed thousands of mile with Andersen, wouldn't tow with anything else . Besides it was Amazon ,really :)

This question was asked over on the TDR. Consensus is that the B&W is a better quality product and the bonus is it's 100% US Made.

FYI the CURT is unfortunately Made in China.

The OP on the TDR ended up buying the B&W.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts. The LB that I traded had a B&W Companion/turnover ball hitch...loved it.

I have a B&W Turnover ball. Haven't had any issues. Most of the people I know with gooseneck trailers have the turnover ball.
