I have no complaints with mine, it has been flawless. It is really well built and solid.

I love mine. Going from gooseneck and back with a nice clean bead when needed is the reason I choose this model. Heavy duty and clean construction, no question when the system is locked in on the pin. I would recommend the system.

Hard to improve on if you want to use the longbed when it is removed. It is very easy for one person to remove & install.

I did the install myself & it is fairly easy. The center piece is heavy, getting it in place was the only difficult part.

If you're pulling with that shortbed Dodge get a Superglide.

I've got a Reese slider on my current truck and like it fine - I opted against the Superglide due to cost and weight when I chose this hitch. I'm considering trading my truck and may or may not move the Reese hitch.

However the truck I'm considering (3500 Megacab) only comes in 6' bed... but, my Heartland nose design is supposed to make the slider unnecessary - one reason I'm thinking of getting rid of the slider.

I have not really tested the Heartland design yet, but it does look like it offers plenty of clearance, so going w/o the slider is feasible.

Another to consider is the Pullrite Super 5th. I have the Super rails that go with it and they also leave a clean bed.

My 2 choices were the B&W and the Pullrite. I really like them both. I went with the Pullrite because it was easier to find and a bit cheaper locally.

Great hitch! No problems, issues, or complaints with this hitch at all. Would buy the same hitch again!
