Blue ox BXW 2000

I got my WDH and it is a beast has a 2 1/2" shank and with the hitch head weights about 75#. How in the world do you manage these? I don't like leaving it in the truck so any suggestions?

Yep, that hitch head is a beast. I use one of these

It really helps for moving the awkward hitch head around, especially installing and removing from the truck. I stow mine in the storage compartment, I don't like leaving it on the truck either. Do not put it in the plastic well of the compartment, it's too fragile. I keep a piece of plywood to set it on, then slide it back into the compartment. Sometimes I'll put it in a milk crate and stow it in the bed of the truck.

I'm sure the day will come when I won't be able to manhandle it, then I'll just leave it on the truck.
