Do you guys really remove your hitches that often that it even matters?
I never remove my hitch. I generally camp from March through November.
There are only 3 months in the dead of winter I don't camp. I just leave hitch in truck the entire time. Rails or pucks are not a big issue. A clean unobstructed bed is overrated.
We full time and seldom remove the hitch, only if near my DD and need to haul materials. Our 2016 Ram had the puck system when we bought it used. I chose to get the Reese adapter frame for our existing Reese 16K twin jaw hitch.
Once I got the frame’s latches adjusted for zero play and installed the hitch I noticed the hitch fit tighter to the frame than it had to the rails in our old TV. Previously at times when stopping or starting this little bit of play would result in a noticeable clunk from the hitch, when the hitch moved in the rails. Now the fit is much tighter and don’t get that any longer.
