Anderson Ultimate hitch part needed
The bolt hole on the top of the square coupler tube on my Anderson Ultimate hitch is stripped. We’re camping in Wells ME and wondering if there is anywhere local that I can purchase a replacement. It’s Sunday night and I have googled and found a few places listed but none of them present themselves as Anderson dealers. Anyone know of a place in the area?1.3KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Upgrade to 5th wheel

Jerry Jerry, I was thinking with the gooseneck I would not have to give up the truck bed. Is there another way? Many 2019 F250s will have the underbed puck system oem installed. If yours came with this system, rubber plugs in bed, the B&W 3300, is an easy in/easy out solution, allowing full use of bed, when removed. This hitch allows lots of space in front, and behind hitch while still installed. Do you have the fifth wheel prep option, factory installed on your truck? I don't have it. Well, there was no evidence in the bed but it appears that I do have the rails under the bed.802Views0likes0CommentsRe: Upgrade to 5th wheel

I have a 2019 Ford F-250 6.7l diesel. I’m looking at a Grand Design 320MKS but want to make sure my truck can haul it. According to the brochure the trailer is 10,721 UVW. According to Fords towing guide the truck will tow 14,800 lbs. I’m thinking that if it will I may need to beef up the rear suspension. Also, I’m not sure how “UVW” relates to the actual weight I will be towing. Also looking for hitch recommendations. Thanks for any help provided. Lenny8.6KViews0likes50Comments
