I had a Hijacker sliding bar hitch for years and loved it. I have a B&W Patriot manual slider now and love it also.
The light weight rated hitches tend to have cheaper king pin capture/latch mechanisms. As someone pointed out the hitch is not a wise place to try and save money.
Many have recommended the Andersen, but do not list a few short comings like, need for safety chains, extra lifting and lowering to hitch and unhitch and service departments damaging the king pin adapter with their fork lift.
If you can live with the first two and always remove the adapter if you leave it for service then the light weight and easy removal from the TV is attractive. Chris
