(probably a 3121 in the fall). The B&W is rated 20k/5K.
The truck will be an 8' bed with the gooseneck/5th wheel prep (pucks).
Both hitches are close in price although I may have some freight on the Companion unless I can get the dealer to throw it in to make the Montana deal.
The Ford hitch would be easy, it just shows up with the truck. Thoughts?
TIA

I've owned several FORD trucks with the OEM puck system and various hitches. I recently sold my FORD OEM Reese 25k hitch as I purchased the Demco. I also have the Pull Rite 2400 series similar to the Andersen , with the ISR rails. I used the Pull Rite several times and it worked well . I saw the Demco and liked that it's rated for 21k and is easy to remove. Have yet to pull the Alpine with it but looking forward to it. I would not go back to a heavy hitch. If a smaller ,lighter hitch can do the same as a bigger ,heavy one. I 'll stick to the lighter one as I'm not getting younger...
