Most Popular 18000 lbs GTW for 2015 Ram 2500

I have owned this unit for over a year now. Here are the pro's and cons that I have experienced. Pro- I have pulled with this hitch in some really tight spaces in forward and reverse and still have the rear window in tact. Con- Heavy, really heavy. Pro- heavy duty,smooth riding, and double jaw lock makes a great connection. Con- manufacturer recommends 1/8 of separation between the slides on the top of hitch. When backing upon 40' wheeler in some tight spaces it is hard to align without opening the slides a bit more. This is not he issue. Remembering to tighten them in the rush of leaving is the hard part. Pro- once you are attached to your truck there is nothing more you need to worry about until you disconnect. Con- If you are a weekender like me and use your truck for work the rest of the week, you will need at least one person to help lift in or out pre or post travel. Works pretty well with gantry crane.

Quality is good. Installation was tricky without a lift. Some of the bed rail bolt holes (passenger side rear rail) where nearly impossible for a large hand to fit the nut on the bolt. Actually had to have my wife crawl under the truck and slide her hand in the brace to install the nut. Getting a decent size torque wrench into the space was also imposible. The front drivers side rail bracket required removing several vehicle lines and wires which was easy however the bracket covered the holes where the wires attached to the frame, so now they are hanging zip tied together. Hitch/ fifth wheel looks good quality but very heavy. Installed a 400 .lb capacity electric winch from harbor freight to lift the hitch. Firestone airbag helper springs was easy install but getting the exact straight cut on the hose end that hooks to the fill port was challenging to keep it from leaking Videos were very helpful

This hitch is quality and functions smoothly. The jaws are machined to a tight tolerance and i dont hear any shifting or clunking out of it. It is a little tall and i had to move my tongue all the way to the top position to use it. The slider is great for maneuvering and i actually use it to disconnect. Ill slide it all the way to the back, jack up the trailer, then release the jaws and slider, and slide it forward by hand.

Excellent hitch in every way except for the weight I would give it 5 stars.

Received the hitch within 2 days of ordering. All the parts were there. Assembled it in an hour. Have not towed with it yet but I'm very impressed with how it looks. Upgrading from an old slide bar.
