Andersen Ultimate Hitch Rail Version

[zackyboy3rs]

Anyone give me the advantages/disadvantages of this hitch? I have rails in truck bed so would they work? I see them on Amazon for $399. Does that include everything I would need? Thanks.

I have the non-rail version. Light weight means I get to enjoy about 150# more payload than a slider. Lower mfg cost translates to about $1000 in savings vs. a slider. Easy to install and remove to clear the bed. Chucking and bucking almost none and easily comparable to an air ride ride. Little over 10000 miles towed so far. Canyons, mountains and the Interstates, no complaints from me. Fan boy? No way? I spent many months researching and comparing specs and reviews before I chose the Andersen Ultimate Aluminum. It does everything I expected and I would gladly buy it again.

Just wondering if you had chucking with a different hitch prior to getting the Andersen pulling the same trailer? I don't see how the Andersen would eliminate chucking.

We have the gooseneck version and wouldn't go back to regular 5er hitch.
The only people that don't like them ,Haven't had one.Maybe haven't even seen one in person for that matter.

Disadvantages have been covered in a number of thread, but the FAN BOYS get pissy when you point out the extra lifting to couple or uncouple, the needs for safety chairs in some states, and the unknown about how they will stand up in an accident! Chris

You forgot to add the operator also has to be able to back well enough to position the ball under the coupler.

I have the gooseneck version, the rail type is basically the same. I highly recommend.
I have a short bed, 6.6 ft and have plenty of turning radius. If you have the industry standard rails it wil work. The only type that won't are the pullrite super glide rails.
