Reese bed rails. Excellent results, easy home install and interchangeable with 5er hitch.

What about the Hidden Hitch? Doesn't it also come with, or have available, a fiver mount?


Don't mean to hijack your thread DMax04, but I'd be interested if anyone has/is using this particualar hitch.

B&W turnover ball. IIRC, it has an available fifth wheel hitch that can be attached to it.

FWIW, there is a thread on pickuptrucks.com that a person was denied extended warranty because of his gooseneck hitch http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif

I run a Hidden Hitch 5th and you can also buy a gooseneck mount for it. Have to say I love knowing the Hitch is rated higher than the others (most of them are 15k-16k), It's gives a little more peace of mind.

Hmmm...


I asked my dealer about warranty issues with the B&W. They said no problems and they could install it and the Line-X for me before I picked it up. They wanted $350 more than what I could get it done for and they take the trucks to the same place I took mine to get them done!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif


ShumDit, I don't doubt some dealers would try to deny warranty for the hitch, but these trucks are built to pull a load, so I don't think they would have a leg to stand on if it went to arbitration. Isn't a "heavy duty towing package" still an option on these trucks? I would be willing to bet it would void the rust-through warranty on the bed though.

B&W Turnover Ball. Just pull the spring loaded rod and turn it over.


Be sure to release the rod back through the ball before loading 10,000 pounds of John Deere tractor onto the trailer!
