5th Wheel Hitch Information.

Hi all. My wife and I are taking delivery of our new 2014 Hemisphere Lite 327 res next week. We currently have a TT so I have to get a 5th wheel hitch for our truck. It's a 99 F250 Superduty CC with a 7.3 diesel and 3.73 rear axle. I'm looking at Etrailer at the various hitches they have. I'm looking for information on the different brands offered, Reese, Pro Series, Husky, Curt. The Hemispere Lite has an empty weight of 9544lbs, and a cargo carrying capacity of 2651. Which puts it at around 12195 heavy. I'm thinking of going with a 16k hitch just in case, since I have to buy a hitch anyway I might as well go a little above in case of anything. Any thoughts on a hitch and towing this 5er with my truck set up. Thanks..

I like the price of the Pro Series 16k complete kit.

We have the B&W companion hitch and love the simplicity. Very solid.
