With mw B&W I never do a tug test. With the B&W you can clearly see if the jaws are around the pin. As thick as the jaws are if you are high hitched it would be easy to tell.
Its easy to "see" if the jaws are around the pin with any hitch brand.
Jaw thickness has zero to do with high hitching issues with a SAF Holland hitch or a Fontaine OTR hitch or any rv brand 5th wheel hitch.
The pin has a upper flange (or shoulder). The top shoulder/flange on 5th wheel pins are the same thickness
The jaws close just below the pins upper flange/shoulder so the distance from the top plate to the top of the hitch jaws can be the same regardless of jaw thickness.
A weak pull test may not pull the pin off the top of the jaws for several turns around a corner....but a visual from behind the hitch will tell the operator if the jaws are around the pin and closed.
