Recommended hitch for a 2024 F350 pulling a 2024 GD 303RLS.

I am wondering if anyone is pulling a 2024 GD Reflection 303RLS with a 2024 F350 shortbox (6'-9") using a B&W Fixed Companion hitch on the OEM puck system?

I really like my Pullrite. It is light enough for me to take out of the truck myself when needed

Had a Grand Design 29 RS, then 303, and now a solitude. Pulled each one with a short bed ram diesel 350 using an Anderson hitch. Easy to take out easy to put in as long as you have the
Puck system. Now Anderson has an even heavier duty one.You have to keep an eye on really sharp turns with it. That’s usually not a problem and doesn’t occur too often.

Weight Distribution Hitch - Andersen Hitches I recommend both their TT and 5er hitches for all the reasons listed on their web site.

There are two ways to install the "arms" on the hitch: one puts the hitch head closer to the cab and the other puts it about 2 1/2 inches further back. I would recommend installing them in the position that puts the head further from the cab.

My .02 worth. I think it’s most important to set the hitch location either over or just a little forward of the rear axle (for proper weight distribution). I found that, on my Ram 2500 with the OEM puck system, the saddle arms needed to be in the forward position; I tried the back position, but that made pulling the rig a little squirrelly, even with the air bags I’ve installed. Try it both ways before you hit the road; I think you may find that the forward position makes for more comfortable towing.
I’ve had both the fixed (with a Reflection 150 Series 5’er that had the Turning Point pin box) and slider (current with Solitude 2930RL) B&W Companion hitches. There is little difference in their weights; both are beasts to get in/out of the truck. I haven’t used the slider that much, but there has been several times that using the slider gave me more maneuverability in tight locations. I like having the option if I need it. Like I said, my .02 worth…

I'm curious to know if you located the king pin in front or behind the axle?

The camper is currently in storage so I am going from memory but I believe the king pin sits directly over the axle.

Thanks. Everything I've read suggests it should be ok, and I now feel better hearing from you. I will go ahead and purchase the B&W Companion fixed hitch.

I have a short box Ram. I use the companion slider. When slid back, it has way better response to steering input. Tried to backing into a spot without it slid back and busted out my back window. It’s a lot to watch out for. Good luck if you decide on getting the fixed hitch. In my opinion, the slider is a much better option. And it is not a pain to slide maybe a few more steps but $3000 into a broken window was much worse. Good luck.

I have a 2015 F350 6.7Turbo shortbed, King Ranch, pulling a 2022 310GK. I use an Anderson hitch system and I'll never go back. The hitch goes in or out in about 10min and weighs about 50lbs. We've been Coast to coast and last year from VA BCH to Maine then Lake Champlain-back to VA BCH. I also have rear axle air bags installed.
