I'd put an Andersen up against any hitch on the market in terms of build quality. It's a very stout and very well constructed piece of steel, and it tows rock solid. It's ideal for rough terrain because it has a good range of motion and can be easily hitched on uneven ground.

I don't understand why some need to constantly put it down and say it's weak based on how it looks (give me a break). If you don't want to use it fine, but there's no reason to bash a good product.

I assume you are referring to me and that's fine. The OP is trying to make a decision, I gave my OPINION and listed some of the negatives. Why do so many get so defensive?

I have said MANY times that the Anderson is a quality hitch but "I" think it's way over rated.

I'm not defensive. I just think there's no reason to bash a quality competitor to promote the product you prefer. Based on my experience I think the Andersen is a great choice and I prefer it to B&W. But I don't feel compelled to bash it just because I prefer the Andersen.

It's a pet peeve of mine. It's like when a salesman spends his time knocking competitors instead of promoting what he's trying to sell me. I generally assume he's bashing the other guy cause he doesn't have much good to say about what he's selling.
