farmer24,

In your case, the B&W is a great way to go. It is so good that Reese has recently put out a copy-cat of the B&W to try to get some of their business. I constantly brag to my friends about my capability to pull the fiver, a goose-neck, or a regular trailer.

Plus #1: the B&W TurnOver Ball will take a 30,000 lb GTW and the Companion will carry 18,000 GTW. In other words, the hitch is a lot stronger than your truck.

Minus #1: It is pricey.

Plus #2: It takes me less than 10 minutes to remove the Companion for either a clean bed or to use the TurnOver Ball and about 15 minutes (maybe 20) to put the Companion back in and torque all 5 nuts.

Minus #2: It is pricey.

I wouldn't go any other way.
