This system works very well and is a quality product. Strong, robust and simple, both designs give you an incredibly smooth and quiet ride unrivaled by any other fifth wheel hitch on the market today. With the bases weighing in at only 40 lbs (Rail Mount) and 35 lbs (Gooseneck Tow Hitch Mount) it takes just one person 1β3 minutes to install or remove either unit. The Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection gives you freedom from the heavy burden and hassle of a standard 5th wheel hitch.Strong, robust and simple, both designs give you an incredibly smooth and quiet ride unrivaled by any other fifth wheel hitch on the market today.

The Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection gives you freedom from the heavy burden and hassle of a standard 5th wheel hitch.The ball of the Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection rides inside a greaseless coupler. That means that unlike other fifth wheel trailer hitches for short bed trucks, the Ultimate Connection eliminates dirty hands and mess! And because the coupler rides on a ball, it has more swivel in every direction than all other 5th wheel hitches available. This also gives you the ability to couple or uncouple your trailer on uneven terrain. By providing a remote cable attached to the coupler we have eliminated the need to climb into the back of your truck to disconnect the hitch from your 5th wheel trailer. With nearly 3" of adjustable height, the Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection is setting a new bar in the industry. That is what makes the Ultimate the best fifth wheel hitch on the market.

We are towing an 18k lb toy hauler and it is very able and reliable. The mount is light weight and it takes approx 5-10mins to install and secure.

Was skeptical, but towed trailer with boat behind and all worked well, the hitch base did turn a little but may not of had it all the way tightened. Did tighten it to recommeded specs but maybe should of re tightened before leaving the campsite/lake, as when we arrived at the destination all was still straight, . other than that easy to install, very light weight easy to lift out. Turning radius is greater than standard 5th wheel hitch

I wish I knew about this hitch before I wasted my money on a SuperGlide hitch that froze up and bent the front of the hitch on my RV and stranded me on the side of the road. Everything about this hitch is great. No more loud noises where you wonder if your hitch broke and your 5th wheel is going to fall off. Way easier to hookup - Putting a trailer on a ball is way easier than yanking on levers and hoping everything is lined up enough to lock in. Anyone with a bumper pull trailer knows the trailer wants to fall on if they are close and you always know if they are on or not.(If you pull out your rear seat center headrest when you are backing up you can see it perfectly to hook up) This setup is much stronger and if that wasn't enough this thing is so easy to remove. I am super strong but trying to lift a 250LB fifth wheel hitch(The superglide or even a smaller lighter Curt one I had) out of your truck is nightmare. It was so much work I didn't take it out very often and that is why you see everyone with 5th wheel hitches leaving them in their trucks all the time. It's like you lost your truck because you have this huge hitch in there all the time taking up all your space. This thing has 3 bolts and a pin and weighs nothing(35 lbs made out of Aluminum but has been tested to hold 50,000 lbs - The physics of it are a good design). A small woman could take it out. Takes me about a minute to take it out. It does require you to have a gooseneck hitch but that hitch setup is way stronger than those universal 5th wheel hitches that drill holes through the thin sheet metal bed for support. I installed my gooseneck hitch myself and everything is bolted securely to the frame not the thin sheet metal bed. I am so glad to have this setup now. I flip my gooseneck ball over and have my entire bed back. Go get this setup and you will be happy you did.

I did a LOT of research on 5th wheel hitches from MANY different makers, and after all that, my inclination to buy this for towing our 38-ft, 16K-lb 5th wheel RV turned out being a very good decision. The solid connection it makes between truck and trailer really does produce a smoother ride and towing experience, pretty much eliminating all "chucking" (back and forth movement and noise) that most other conventional 5th wheel hitches don't or can't take care of. I also appreciate the fact it only weighs about 35-lbs and is so quick and easy to setup for use as well as remove when not needed. This hitch, combined with the air ride hitch and air ride suspension on our RV made the 4-day, 2100+ mile journey from FL back to our home a MUCH less stressful experience than it could have been. We encountered strong winds in FL and again all across TX and REALLY rough roads in MS and OK, and had it not been for having chosen this hitch I firmly believe I would have been a lot more worn out by the end of our trip home, were it not for the Andersen hitch and the RV's compliment of equipment.One other thing I want to mention and that is the excellent customer service Andersen provides. When I first received the hitch, which comes with their proprietary kingpin coupler (that attaches to the trailer hitch) and their new, red vinyl-like ball funnel that's designed to guide a slightly misaligned truck and trailer hitch to mate up, it had a problem. One of the side plates that holds the ball funnel in place had broken completely in two, yet I was able to use it for the long trip home with RV in tow. When we got home I contacted Andersen to report the problem and provided some photos of the ball funnel. They made no fuss about the issue and PROMPTLY sent a replacement in a few short days, which is now on the kingpin coupler, fits like a glove and looks like it will last for a long time. In my experience, not too many companies would react this way, typically requiring the customer to "go through hoops" in order to get their issue resolved. This was a very pleasant and welcomed surprise, yet it really wasn't too much of a surprise as I had read on several RV forums how well Andersen responds to customer service issues. Now, I can attest to this as a fact too.Having had the towing and customer experience that I've now had, I will tell you I heartily recommend the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch 2 as a great product AND the company for how well they stand behind their products and support their customers. Doesn't get any better than that. And BTW, I am in no way affiliated with Andersen - I'm just a very satisfied customer, passing on my experience to others.
