The gooseneck does not transfer any extra weight to the payload at all. What it does do that might void the warranty and that is it applies a lot of stress to the front of the RV.
The rails the hitch is set on needs the 90 degree angle on the outside. The 45 degree needs to be on the inside so the angled supports do not rub on the 90 degree. I can see in the video where the hitch has rubbed of the paint on the 90 degree and eaten into the metal. Same thing happened to my hitch and it makes a lot of noise.
So now that you have had it for a year or so what is your opinion? I just got mine in the mail yesterday. I will tow with it for the first time at the end of September.
Towards the end of the video where you show the ball adapter connection to the pin box, it looks like the pin box sits lower than the top of the bed. Do you have any issues with the pin box striking the inside of the bed on tight turns?
Great video. I’m considering this very hitch. Is your truck a 6.5’ bed? If so, how do find the clearance to your cab when backing up? Any potential issues with hitting the cab? Love to hear your thoughts.

I have a 2400, used it in three different trucks. Love it, light fewer moving parts and strong used to tow my 34' Montana.
James, I have the same hitch and love it as well! Easy to connect and disconnect by myself, and easy to remove as you stated. Nice job on the video.
Short bed or long bed? I’m thinking of purchasing it for my short bed. Thanks

I'm still happy with mines I just bought a long bed but still it's works well for me taken it in and out of the bed.
Thanks for this video. I'm about to purchase this hitch and your info helped me a lot.
I would think so. I would call pullrite to make sure. They are very helpful. This unit height is adjustable too.
James Walsh , sorry I deleted my comment, thank you.

Pullrite recommends this setup. Been working great now for 3 years.
@@jameswalsh2714 pullrite does NOT recommend this read your manual
I went with the 2400 series on my new Ram dually because the unit takes up less room than the Anderson.
Still using the 2400? How is it holding up?
Wow!
You could have also said that the Anderson hitch is also available in metal as well!!
Nope
All of the Anderson Ultimate hitches that connect to the ball are made out of aluminum. They don’t make a steel version that connects to the ball.
so, with the kingpin ball conversion, is there a way to lock to prevent theft like you could with a standard kingpin.
If you wanted to use safety chains, can you access the spring loaded safety chain loops on the BMW hitch?
Yes
Well done h helpful, thanks!
Great video thanks for the information, I only have one question, what size ball you use for the BW hitch?
Not sure the size. I will check. It is the standard gooseneck ball.
So now that you have had it for a year or so what is your opinion? I just got mine in the mail yesterday. I will tow with it for the first time at the end of September.
I still love my mine. Great hitch.
Towards the end of the video where you show the ball adapter connection to the pin box, it looks like the pin box sits lower than the top of the bed. Do you have any issues with the pin box striking the inside of the bed on tight turns?
Sorry I did not see this. No, no issues with that.
I'm looking at this hitch do you have a short bed? I notice into your video that you have the bed saver rails turn backward but good video.
The bed saver rails only fit that way.
Could this work with a ram 2500 with Rambox's?
Great video. I’m considering this very hitch. Is your truck a 6.5’ bed? If so, how do find the clearance to your cab when backing up? Any potential issues with hitting the cab? Love to hear your thoughts.
Stride Endeavors I have a 8 ft bed. Call PullRite for that question. They are very helpful.
my truck is an 8 ft bed.
Do you get any bouncing in the truck with that hitch?
No I did not experience any bounce. It followed the road better. I sold my truck and trailer this year.
