Which one?
Looking at installing either the Reese Elite Gooseneck under bed set up with pucks or the B&W Turnover ball set up. I will be using the truck to tow a 5th wheel toy hauler. Hoping I can use the Ree...

I bought a used Reese Goose box from a guy who bought a one year old trailer and wanted the 5th wheel set up. It had only been used to pull the trailer to a site where the first owner lived in the RV while building their house so about 90 mile pull then the guy I bought it from bought the trailer from them and pulled it home and removed it about another 50 or so miles so it was virtually brand new. I paid $600 for it but had to buy some adapter plates for my application for $50 and I also bought brand new grade 8 bolts nuts and washers etc for about another $40 so around $700 for the set up. I have only done a test run pull of about 3 miles or so through the neighborhood so far but man what a difference. It's a little harder to hook up, more like a tongue pull but once hooked up the drive is soooo much sweeter. No chucking at all. Highly recommend one of these systems so far. I will report back after my 3.5 hour pull at the end of the month.
8' long bed.
