Hitch me up Baby! A hitching deliberation Saga - did I reach the right conclusion??!

I have considered a air hitch but I still have the old school pin box. I dont have any chucking with my B&W hitch. Air bags on the truck help with bounce. Good shocks help the trailer. I prefer a solid connection with the trailer

Hello,

I have been using the Turning point for a year now. I have the custom wedge for my 5th wheel hitch. I use a Husky 16k hitch with the Ford adapter plate they have. Good luck.

You do know that the bearing inside that turning point Reflection hitch needs to be pulled and packed each year like the bearings on the wheels... Based on that and cost to provide this annual maintenance, I decided not to use the turning point feature, left the turning point on the truck hitch.

Looking at the YouTube videos on this packing it doesn’t look like too much of a DIY project. With my 6’4” bed I think I’m going to need the Turning Point action to get tight corners.

Have you looked at the comfort ride hitch? I think they have a wedge you can use. I have a B&W companion and contemplating the comfort ride since it would provide smoother tow with no maintenance.

I'll check it out, who makes the comfort ride hitch?

I had the Reese Revolution on my old fifth, and the 6.5 box truck in my signature. It worked great for several years. At the time, B&W would not allow its use on any of their hitches. So I got a Reese Elite series hitch. Cost less, good reviews, and it comes apart into 2 pieces, making it easier to get in and out of the truck when not using the RV. Check into their current versions, and see if one is made to fit your puck system.....

The B&W comes in 2 pieces also. Just saying.
