Question:
Hello Etrailer I have been through the Q+A to find the correct Anderson Aluminum Ultimate model for my 2018 2500HD GMC 4WD crew Cab, standard bed, which includes factory installed bed pucks etc.. But cannot nail down the correct hitch model and Anderson trailer connecting rod. My wife and I are soon to purchase a 2026 JAYCO Eagle HT 29RLC 5th wheel w/ a standard Lippert pin box, trailer weight is about 9700lb. Thanks for any info, P.S. the Jayco will be our 4th RV since 2015 but 1st 5th wheel, first 3 trailers were bumper hitch travel trailers.

Hey Stephen, if you were wanting to go with an Andersen Ultimate fifth wheel hitch best option would be the part # 3220 which is designed to attach to a gooseneck ball. So then for a gooseneck ball you would want the Curt # C38CR which was designed to fit your OEM puck system. What hitches have you used in the past?
