The OP has a 20K GVWR FW. When you are towing heavy, you have to have a heavy duty REAL HITCH!!:C

To many stories of rear window and cab damage for me to ever want a fixed hitch in a short box truck. Removing the adapter every time you drop a trailer off for service so the forklift clown does not try to move the trailer around without the proper ball on the end of the fork. Would not want to mess with safety chains either. Just a few of my thoughts on that particular hitch.

4X I highly advise you grease that zerk. The shaft supports the entire pin weight.

I keep the hitch greased both the jaw, the zerts,
What is a "zert"?
Just a simple grease fitting, more commonly called zerk. On the B&W FW hitch, it is on under side of hitch head.
Glad to hear the OP's problem is solved!

I met a guy with a heavy Mobile Suites and he had a Companion hitch. We started talking and somehow I mentioned lubrication of the B&W, I got the blank stare.....
He had no idea there was a "ZERK" under the head and the mounts the head rides on needed to be lubricated also.

Another happy ending to a B&W bedtime story!
My custom made bed step makes it a breeze to reach the handle to pin it open on the rare occasion I need to do so.
Well ... EXCUSE US RON ! ! :B
I need to get my arse up on my $11.99 plastic folding stool and use my telescoping magnet to get the pin :C
