Anderson Ultimate 5th wheel hitch with ball adapter??

440hsp · Jun 26, 2017

Thoughts on this setup for my future 5th wheel? Anybody with experience with it. Good or bad. Let me here it. I like the idea of it being light weight and from what I've heard and seen from reviews, people say they have less chucking with the Anderson setup.

You would probably get a better chance of an answer for that question here---> RV.Net

Great hitch setup with a couple of caveats:

1. on a shortbed truck you'll want to make sure your fifth wheel has a concave front cap and a long (not medium, not short) pinbox.

2. Make sure they are positioned and mounted per instructions for proper weight transfer.

If you can't get a trailer that has a scooped or concave front cap, you will be better off with a slider.

Darn it. It says it's designed to work for short bed trucks.

I OWN IT! LOVE IT! It can be mounted in the truck bed either way as well as the adapter for the king pin can be mounted forward or aft. I have a short bed truck and can make 90 degree turns all day long

99% of the people not "happy" with them either do not or never have owned one. A buddy of mine recommended it to me and he tows a 43ft 22000lb toy hauler and the Andersen has work for him for thousands of miles....all the proof I needed

Lol. Sorry didnt reply fast enough. Went back on there and found a crap ton of people that love it and absolutely swear by it. Thanks @SouthTexan

Cant beat the weight savings or the price. I have the b&w install kit fir the 5th wheel/ gooseneck and will just use that with the anderson ultimate.

I said never mind because because I misread what you stated about short beds and removed my response since it had nothing to do with what you actually stated.

Don't know if you've seen this. Pretty relevant. TL;DR: Andersen is the only was to go if you're going to pull a 5'er as a gooseneck (according to this guy).

440hsp · Jun 26, 2017

Yeah, i follow that guy on youtube.

I have heard a lot of good reviews but some bad like anything else I haven't seen where everything work for 100% of the times, you will always get that 10 or 20% of the people don't like, but that's life.

Go check it out, I was looking at getting one or searching anyway but since I went the way of the TT I didn't need it.
