Hello, my name is Eddie and I’m new to the Escape Forums. My Escape 5.0TA will not be ready for pick up until mid 2024 so I have plenty of time before I need to make any hitch decisions. Just yesterday I obtained my tow vehicle, 2021 Ford F-150 Crew Cab 6.5’ bed, King Ranch, 4x4 , 3.5L V6 Ecoboost, max trailer tow package, 7150# GVWR package. My bed rail height is just under 57”.
With all that out of the way I’m curious about anyone with experience utilizing the B&W Companion or the CURT PowerRide 5th wheel hitch? I understand the Anderson Ultimate hitch is extremely light, but I’d like to know from real life users the pros and cons between traditional 5th wheel hitches like the B&W and CURT vs Anderson Ultimate.
Thanks in advance for any offerings of opinions on this subject as I am a rookie.
