Review on 🚛 Andersen Hitches 3220: Ultimate Fifth Wheel Connection with Aluminum Gooseneck Mount Trailer Hitch Adapter - Quick & Easy ONE Person Install or Removal in Less Than 5 Minutes! by James Davis

Weighs less than 40# making it easy to install/remove for more efficient use of truck bed. The weight saving of this Andersen hitch is almost 250# payload compared to the stock hitch. Truck payload can be an issue even for a 1 ton truck with one rear wheel (4400# payload) when towing a heavy fifth wheel. I'm towing a 2016 Alpine 12 500# 5th wheel with a 2700# pin weight (with 5.5kW alternator); I also added a 50-gallon auxiliary diesel tank to the truck bed, so I appreciate the lighter Andersen hitch. My tractor is a 2017 Diesel RAM 3500 4x4; The Andersen hitch fits perfectly on the truck that came with the 5th wheel prep pack, leaving plenty of room for an extra tank transfer flow. I've seen comments about this hitch not working with heavier five wheel trailers and will add this: A friend has a 2017 dual diesel ram and pulls an 18,000# fifth wheel with a 3800# pin weight. It is extremely important to install the Andersen hitch according to the instructions and avoid any possible movement when tightening the top bolt that holds the hitch to the truck body. It is possible that other installations have caused the clutch to wobble when stopping or accelerating suddenly, resulting in clutch damage. I'm not trying to criticize the other results, but I'm trying to understand the hitch failure reports; A faulty weld can lead to hitch failure. I visually inspected all of the welds on my hitch and they looked professional.
