You will enjoy the new truck. The ride is quieter than any vehicle, truck or car, that I have ever owned. You will have plenty of power and capacity for the fifth wheels you are considering. I am not a buy something because I did type but we have really enjoyed our Excel and the only thing we have needed done was a slide adjustment.

I would second the Trailer Saver BD3. We had a B&W Companion in the last truck and they are excellent but the air bag ride of the BD3 is very nice and well worth the extra bucks, in my opinion. I installed a standard rail system from Curt in the new truck. It is a custom fit and was a bit a pain to install but it is very robust. We are making our first long trip with the new truck in a few weeks and I am really looking forward to it.

Spend the money for the Trailer Saver Hitch. BD3 or TS3 BD3 has shocks and air bags and comes apart for removing. I have the TS3 and use a cherrypicker to remove it. It is heavy but what a ride. With the Holland Brinkly hitch it can't be beat. Check it out at least. I think it is the best hitch out there but it is Expensive. Remember the old saying You get what you pay for. When I bought my camper the dealer thru in the hitch. He might have well have thrown it away. POS. took one trip to figure that out.

You'll love your new truck-Congrats! We just bought a Curt Q20 for our Big Country and Love it. It is a smoother ride over our Reese. We have had good luck with Heartland and recommend them.

Step 1
Pick the trailer you want.

Step 2
Now that you know how much the trailer weighs and the pin weight, pick the TV you need to handle the trailer. Pick a hitch that will handle the trailer and fit the TV.

Another vote for Heartland and B&W hitches. Love my Big Country and Companion hitch. Personally I think their owners forum could be condensed as it has way too many categories and several haven't had activity for months or sometimes years.
