Which hitch should I be looking at for my TH purchase. Getting a Cyclone 4100 King. Have the Ford 5th wheel prep so stuck with getting the Reese Elite and their high price on them. Do I need to step up to the 25K or withh the 18K be just fine for this size of a camper? Thanks for the help

I just got a new 2014 Ford with the in-bed hitch attachment and wanted to keep my air hitch. Contacted the company that made the hitch and they have an attachment that work both with the Ford system and their hitch.

Why not check with the hitch you want and see if the company makes something that will work.

That gives you 2000# to the good if you load to the 5er GVW.

I'd say you will be fine.

The GVW of that 5er is 18000. You will probably load it up close to that weight.

If it were me I would go for the 25K hitch to give me a bigger margin of safety.
