Hi, everyone, Steve here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at our Andersen Ultimate Connection gooseneck to fifth wheel hitch trailer system. Now, this specifically is for a flatbed truck with maybe a toolbox or a fuel transfer tank. So this does sport a nice 3 1/2-inch offset from the front of the truck or the cab, rather, to the tailgate. So I have this lined up, and per the decals on this product, the back is the tailgate. So you, the viewer, are watching this looking at the cab of the vehicle.
So that's how it's gonna be faced. You do get this included remote latch system is what we're calling it. And basically, you're able to use a cable, be on the side of the truck, and now I can manipulate the connection point coming on or off. (metal clanking) So I've got it locked. If I pull it to release the pin inside of there, then I can simply take it off.
Now, as you know, this is a ball connection and this is gonna be on the trailer, camper side, the fifth wheel side, whatever kinda trailer or camper you're using it for. And this is gonna turn that kingpin connection now into a round ball connection. (metal clanking) Now again, that's gonna be nice because now you can mount that to the side and be on the side of the vehicle, not have to worry about trying to reach in, have those pull bars, that kind of stuff. This is adjustable. It's got two height settings, 15 9/16 inches and 13 9/16 inches as well.
Now again, this is for a flatbed. So this would sit flush on the bed. I've got some blocks of wood under it. That way, my center connection point there can rest even on the table. So again, a couple adjustments here.
It's pretty easy to do. There's some bolts in the back, some nuts, those kinda things, and some pins. And you can easily move that around. I will turn this sideways a little bit, just so you kinda get a side view. So as you can see, it's got built-in handles, one on each side. Those have a plastic insert, which I love, because it's just a lot better than gripping the aluminum. This is super lightweight too, 35 pounds, super, super light. You're not gonna have to have a friend or somebody help you install it. You could easily put it in and take it out on your own as needed. Now, zooming in here to the ball, like I said, you've got the ball connection there. And then again, that remote latch system. As you can see right now, the pin is not engaged. But if I push the cable, now you can see that pin moving inside there. So that again is the connection point. (object thumping) And again, you have the multiple heights. 24,000 pounds capacity gross towing, 4,500 pounds capacity vertical load limit, 3 1/2-inch offset. Again, perfect for those flatbeds with a fuel transfer tank or a toolbox. Folks, that's gonna wrap it up for our quick look together. I'm Steven, thanks so much for your time. As always, we'd love to see photos of it installed and hear your input about it. Have a good one.
Built sturdy
Happy
Fast shipping. Haven’t got to use it ye t.
works great used on 2 different trucks
One year review. Install was straight forward. Product arrived in a timely fashion and in tact.
This has been an excellant choice for my Winnebago fifth wheel rv and Ram 2500 combination. Towing is both quiet and smooth with no chucking at all. I can see the ball and anderson socket while hooking up making the process very easy on first try every time. I would recommend this product to anyone within the proper weight range.
Light weight, easy install with a smooth non jerky start/stop
Very smooth hitch, NO chucking or strange noises. Love the simplicity.
Alawys had a good experience with e trailer purchases!!!
Product has performed well and has exceeded my expectations. Very easy to install, I really like the ease of removing from my truck when not needed. Does not require 2 people to do..
I highly recommend considering this as an option.
Used this hitch only four times this summer. So far I think it is great.
The red coupler part broke as we were putting trailer on.
Other than that, my husband likes it slot.
Love the hitch and all of its features, especially the weight.
Have not got the hitch installed yet. I ordered on Monday and it arrived on Friday. That was quicker than I thought it would be. Thanks e-trailer
The product is fantastic, it's packaging lacks a little to be desired, it showed up dented and scratched because it is not protected properly. It is heavy so ups drug it around and damaged the box.
Love this hitch. Easy to hook up and easy to unhook ! If you have to remove it from your truck it's an easy one person job. Should have had this year's ago !!!
Best product ever! This is the only way I would ever pull a fifth wheel again. Super easy to remove from the bed of my truck and super easy to drop and hookup. I would recommend this product highly.
Products were delivered very quickly and in good condition. I’m very happy with my Andersen hitch and would highly recommend etrailer for all your towing needs and more!!
This hitch has done everything I thought it would. Quite impressive..Fits my needs.
