I have the old school pin box It;s just a solid connection to the trailer. I love my B&W hitch. You don't have to do a pull test to see the hitch is hooked up. There is a handle you move to close the jaws on the pin. You can't mess that up. I'm 67 and I have taken my hitch out of the truck a few times by myself. I don't like to but if I need the bed it comes out just fine. I don't have a hoist just brute force. Sure you can get a hitch that only weighs 40# but would you trust that to pull a 13,000# 5th wheel. I have literally tested mine to the max and it never failed. Why hammer a nail with a 16 OZ hammer when a 32OZ will do a better job.
