The new (for us) truck will be a 2017 Ford F350 6.7 SD, CC, LB, 4X4, 4.10 King Ranch. I would assume it has the puck system.
I own a 2017 350 Platinum and they don't have 4.10 gears. Maybe you are buying a dually?

I'm all in on the B&W, as stated it can be hitched and unhitched with RV and Truck on different planes no issue. They are simple and solid with no question if your hitched connections. B&W's head pivot point is right at the kingpin's height. All of B&W's products are Made In USA.

Anyone with experience with it? I know its new, but I hope some one had some experience with it. If so please be speicic about pros and cons. Thanks.
You will get a better response by starting your own thread especially on a long thread like this one. After a time some members may not feel like monitoring more of the same so most can miss your question.
That way your not hijacking the OP thread.

I asked about this hitch sometime back and I don't remember getting any responses. They look great and I like the design but then discovered they aren't so light weight. According to the website the hitch that attaches to a goose neck ball weighs 210 pounds and the model for rails is 180 pounds. I was looking to replace my Trailer Saver BD3 because it was getting heavy for me at 160 pounds, even though it does separate in 2 pieces. I have a Reese Goose Box on order so all I will have to lift is the 5 pound goose neck ball.

I only got rid of the B&W because my toy hauler was heavier than mine was rated for (20k for the post-mount version that mates up to their Turnoverball Gooseneck hitch).
I have nothing bad to say about my B&W. I had it from 2012-2018 and put many thousands of miles on it.
After getting rid of it, it took me 2 tries to end up with the Trailersaver TS3.
The good:
- the ride with the Trailersaver is awesome.
- the customer service is amazing.
The bad:
- the cost was pert near $3,000 for a new hitch.
- it's stupidly heavy at 300 lbs. but TS said it was fine for me to hang it from the kingpin.
The comparison - if our last move is pulling forward, it's not uncommon for the pin to be bound up against the head. We've had a tad bit of difficulty unhitching a couple of times now. I never experienced this with the B&W regardless of what my last move was - forward, backwards, using a crane and going sideways (ok, I didn't do that last one).
The ride is a bit better with the TS3 than the B&W but surprisingly not incredibly so.

Thank you for the reply! I was referring to the DOT part. I should have specified.
I believe I have read somewhere CURT has some sort of standard, SAE possibly?
Curt tests to SAE J2638.
Thanks, knew I read something about that.
I wonder of the testing is in China. :B

If you don't have to remove your hitch often, the Trailer Saver BD-5 is the Rolls Royce of all hitches . This is just my humble opinion
I love my BD3 and would never go back to a standard hitch again.
