5th wheel hitch needed.

[brobeson]

I need a good HD 5th wheel hitch for my new 3500 towing RV's for a delivery company so the wights of the 5th wheels will vary. All I know is that I need a good one.

I am looking at the 18K hidden Hitch and the 18K or 20 K Reese.

What are you using/suggest?

TIA

My new truck has made it to the dealership, I am waiting for them to install all the dealer stuff, then I am getting the Line-x and 5th wheel hitch. But what Hitch?

I don't think you could go wrong with a Reese 20k.
I would aso see what the company recommends
Good luck with your new business.

I'm happy with my Hidden Hitch fifth wheel. I've had both Reese & Draw Tite in the past. No complaints on Reese, they make a nice hitch. Local installer recomended the HH. Couldn't beat the price compared to Reese. Had it since Oct. & I tow quite a bit, we'll see how it holds up over time.

I like the Reese 20k. If you're doing it all the time the extra may come in handy. I would not go below the 18k,20k is probably the best bet.
