    Also make sure it has the 5th wheel prep package that gives you the trailer brake controller and in bed plugs for hooking up the trailer. These are factory OPTIONS and don't come standard - even on a King Ranch.
    Also look on the drivers door sticker to see the carrying capacity.

    Now as to hitches I have a Reese Titan R20 and love it Very tight tolerances - no chucking or bucking - very quit. B&W also makes excellent hitches too.

    Go figure it won’t let me attach the close up of the hitch but any google search will show it.

    Put the first 60 miles on the trailer yesterday with this set up and it’s very comfortable and manageable. Best of all it’s really freed up my bed space.

    I agree, if you ever want to use your bed for other purposes besides towing, with the Reese Goose box there is NO hitch in the bed, just a flip over ball. It rides nice and is an easy hitch up also. We have over 20,000 miles on ours now and would not switch.

    We have the exact same setup with a B&W slider for the short bed. Works perfect

    I highly recommend the Andersen Ultimate 2 hitch. Weighing in at under 40 lbs. it is easily installed and removed by one person. We pull our Solitude with one and have nothing but good things to say about it.

    We had the B&W Companion Model RVB3300 installed at the RV dealership. Only 200 miles on it so far but everything appears to be good.

    I have a 17 F350 SB with factory puck system, with the Andersen hitch. I absolutely love pulling my 2019 Momentum 351M. Traveled over 7500 miles 1st 8 months on the road totally trouble free.
