Best 2017 Ram 3500 Fifth Wheel Hitches

Originally was pulling a slightly smaller trailer with a short bed pickup and using a Pullrite auto slider that I was very happy with. Now pulling a 40’ Solitude 16k gvwr trailer with a 17 Ram 3500 DRW. Went with the B & W Companion Puck mount. It is a solid hitch with no rattles/clunking. I am using it in the lowest forward position and plenty of clearance between bed and 5th wheel. Also have. 50 gallon Transfer Flow tank in bed and there is still bed space between tank and hitch.

Mega Duty!!! Awesome craftsmanship!!!

Very good service, excellent hitch arrived in excellent condition. Was reasonably easy to install. You have to be lined up almost perfect to be able to close the jaws. That being said no chucking and very quiet. I really like the positive locking feature.

I just received this hitch yesterday. I'll be installing it in my GMC 3500 Denali soon. I've seen this 5th wheel hitch in a Chevy 3500 before ordering it. It's well designed, and heavy enough to do the job without any worries about it. That's what sold me on it. I highly recommend it and buying it through etrailer.com. They back their products, and shipping is amazing quick. I've never had any problems with etrailer.com.... a great place to buy from..

This 21K unit is very well built. It does have some weight to it so some help installing would be much easier.my installation was completed solo and took approx 1 hour in a GMC 3500 Denali.

I would not buy this hitch again because -- 1. It takes up to much space in the truck bed 2. It is over built thus weighs to much 3. It is very hard to hook up because the hitch swivels when unhooking, thus making the hooking up very difficult lining up on an angle. 4. With this hitch I cannot lock out the swivel feature. My old hitch I could lock it out I would buy from E Trailer again there sales people are great and delivered time was great. The hitch choice was my mistake not E Trailer's

Wow..fast shipping. Packed very well.

Superior. My old Reese 16K served me well, but after 10 years of service including the AL-CAN highway, it creaked and moaned when loaded and banged around when not loaded. When I got a new truck that was 5th wheel prepped from the factory I chose the Curt hitch over the Reese, if for no other reason than it displayed first on the search list. I’m glad I did. First of all, the unit arrived in two heavy boxes. The boxes had a few dings, but were in pretty good condition. The contents of each box was packed well with styrofoam. None of the pieces sent to me were bent, broken or scratched. The instructions were pretty straightforward and easy to read. I’m 66 and completed the installation without assistance. I used the formula provided in the instructions to calculate the height of the assembly and the results were pretty much to my satisfaction. I did have to adjust the locking lugs and tighten each castle nut one notch to where there was a little resistance when locking. PROS: it’s solid, no wiggle; the head has a square rubber bumper the fits in the base that keeps the head from bouncing around when unloaded; coupling and locking indicators can easily be see from the cab and provide visual status of the jaws; interlocking double jaws. CONS: none at this time. I’m a happy camper.

Great product. Installed easily and looks great. Besides missing a couple of washers, everything about the purchase was seamless. The etrailer people are great to work with.

Great hitch used it on a few trips already driven over 3,000 miles. Love the dual jaws and the adjustability, my truck sits a bit higher and I was able to adjust this down to get it where it needed to be- even with the Reese adapter plate(see photo). The polyurethane is also a nice touch, makes the ride a little more cozy then a standard hitch. Use with the provided lube plate

Heavy duty!... pretty easy setup. Not the best instructions, but anyone with half decent mechanical ability can figure it out. You have to take the head off to torque the slider rails.

Super easy to install in our new truck. We used the same hitch in our old truck and pulls our 38' 5th wheel with ease

great hitch. fast shipping.

Mega Duty!!! Awesome craftsmanship!!!

by far the easiest 5th wheel hitch I have ever installed. solid

Just received the 3 boxes for my hitch and the first thing I see when I open the box with the jaw head is that the plastic locked indicator is busted, also the box containing the legs is crushed/ re taped

Only received the legs of the hitch today, the head is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I realize this is a carrier issue and not etrailer’s fault but disappointing none the less. On a bit of a schedule so hope the head shows up as scheduled.

This is a awesome hitch very easy to install, assembled it by myself in about 30 minutes. The drop in lock system is a great feature. The crew at retailer awesome and easy to deal with, fast shipping and great service.

Great hitch for the price. Easy to assemble in under 30 minutes. Only complaint is box came a little beat up and it was missing the safety pin that holds the main pin in place, quick trip to the hardware store and $2.10 later problem fixed.

This is a nice hitch but i had a few problems. The least of which and did not affect the rating I gave was that the leg sets do not have the perforated blue cover on their sides but a palm sized M5 medallion. This was a Reese change and is not a fault of etrailer. The main concern is that I had to reorder the leg set due to what I thought were under tapped holes. The new leg set came in with he same issue. It turns out that Reese did not mask the threads and paint in the tapped holes caused the bolts to jam up on the paint. One bolt was ruined and the other would have been too if I had tried it. I'm not sure if the tapped hole were ruined as well. I bought a M16x2 tap and chased the holes to fix the problem. In the attached photo you can see that the cuttings were black paint and not shiny metal.

Love it. Absolutely love it. My old one (different brand) was more than ready to be replaced. No more pulling on pin release, backing up, going forward, using hammer to release pin. No more beating up on my truck from the hitch.

We have the Anderson Hitch installed on our 2017 Ford SuperDuty and pull a Reflection 337RLS. We have traveled over 4,000 miles and have been extremely satisfied. The hitch allows plenty of clearance between 5th wheel, bed, and the truck cab. Hook-up and disconnect has always been easy, even with RV lots that were uneven dirt lots. I use Curt thin rubber sound dampeners (item 16900) and this provides a quiet, tight fit between the rails and hitch. Of course the light weight makes it easy to remove when not towing and less weight when you are towing. A great product for the right truck, trailer combination.

After receiving the kit i saw another one on the shelf at a local store. I noticed the one on the shelf had a steel ball cup mounted to it. Mine did not have that part. I called andersen and asked if the ball cup was available for purchase seperately. They told me no need to purchase bevause they will ship me one for free! Later on, i towed my trailer to a camp site and upon arrival i could not get the release pin to open to drop the trailer while we stayed in it. I called andersen and described the problem i had, they shipped a whole new block and cable assembly for free!! I am ver pleased with the product and also impressed with the level of customer service!
