Reese hitch - out and B&W hitch - in

Sold the Reese 16K hitch yesterday and today had the B&W. Patriot 16K installed. I have not towed with the new hitch yet, but I am very pleased on how easy it was to hook on to the Monty and unhook from the Monty. Now I realize why B&W hitch owners
continually state they are very happy with the B&W product. I look forward to the hitches maiden trip.

I got a B&W. The only problem with it is it's hard to unhitch if it's in a bind. When that happens I unhook the 2 half inch bars run the trailer up until the hitch clears then unhook it.

When we got our new GMC this year, I had the B&W Patriot installed as well. So far very happy. One thing we notice, is a lot less "clunking" and general noise from the hitch. Previous one was a Reese 16K. Plus, the B&W is made in the good old USA!!

Great choice. I got one a new years ago and love it. I have never had any binding problems with it to date.

I bought a B&W RVK3600 to go in my new Ram 3500 which has the puck mounting system from the factory. No chucking or clunking when towing and very EZ to connect and disconnect the RV. You'll love it!

I'm still madly in love with my 70lb. Andersen Ultimate 5th wheel hitch I've been using for 18 months now. They now make an even lighter weight aluminum version that I am lusting for.
