I agree with you I am a B&W guy all the way. I have a ton of confidence with our hitch. I have seen some photos of failures of some of the others after a hard brake event - not good. I am blessed to have the Ford pucks and no need for a slider with an 8’ bed so our B&W is very manageable.

I matters not, a B&W hitch would not have failed....
But
A 2015 Momentum 380TH (42' long toy hauler with an empty weight of 15,500 lbs and 2950 lb pin weight)
It happened at low speed, and neither the truck or 5th wheel had any damage
An emergency stop,
Hitch rating
Rated at 24,000 lbs GTWR and 4,500 lbs tongue weight.Last edited by phonemannn; 03-07-2020 at 02:39 PM.

The pin weight of an AUH is 4500#, you said so yourself in the above post. .25 is the accepted fractional denominator for a large (toy hauler) 5W to determine pin weight right? So 19500# x .25= 4875#. Common sense and prudence is also a determining factor. I guess you just look at the tow capacity of your truck and if the published weight is under you call it a day and don't bother to consider the payload.
As an aside I have seen steel buckle and crumple like that several times in industrial accidents. It looks to me like the aluminum bent and gave. It also looks to me like the puck failed so maybe that was the weak point that started it.Last edited by Wicked ace; 03-07-2020 at 03:16 PM.
