16k Hitch vs.24k
Is there any disadvantage of using a 24k hitch to tow a 14 or 16k 5th wheel?

"It works for anything." True, however it comes with several compromises. Need for safety chairs, extra lifting and lowering of trailer to hitch and unhitch. Problems at service departments with them damaging the adapter. Greater chance of trailer hitting TV cab with SB trucks if not very careful.
Biggest PRO, light to remove and reinstall.
People claim smoother tow experience, which I question. Quality conventional 5th wheel hitches like B&W provide a very smooth tow experience. Chris
Don't forget that nice bed deflection towing in the upper weights you will have.
