We will be getting a B&W turnover ball installed later this month to use with an Andersen hitch for our Escape 5.0 TA. We are considering skipping the slots in the truck bed for the B&W safety chain loops, instead using a safety chain plate from Andersen (see link below). Our thinking was to avoid the two extra slots in the truck bed. Has anyone done this? Is there any reason not to go this way? The truck is a 2024 Ford F-150.
