They are usually out there on craigslist. If you are patient you can usually final a real nice one for about half the price of list. I realize some folks don't want to go that route but we have done that several times with great results. B&W seem to have a good rep and US made.368Views0likes0CommentsRe: Are there any hitches to avoid, looking to buy ?

Don't know what you are referring to when you speak of "goose" but be careful. Sons neighbor came in with a new 5th wheel and a goose neck attached to the pin box. He asked for it and dealer happily installed it in his new Ram. I suggested that he call the manufacturer of his new 5er and ask about a using a goose neck. Two weeks later he had it removed and is now using a conventional hitch, yep I wouldn't run a 5er with a goose. i'd only run a goose with a cargo trailer.368Views0likes0CommentsRe: Are there any hitches to avoid, looking to buy ?

Started to do some research on fifth wheel hitches, the prices range from $200 to $2200. are some really not a good idea to buy ? i don't want a bic razer hitch, but not a rolex either. which hitch brands should be avoided due to poor quality or too entry level and would need an upgrade after 6 months ? i here B&W are good, specially the reversible goose (for hot shot as part time gig). maybe air ride, reese etc. we'll be towing 40 foot or there abouts so upper end weight. currently have tow vehicle. 2010 F350 DRW 6.4 powerstroke (stock, not deleted). thanks.9.9KViews0likes51Comments
