Andersons Ultimate hitch with a B&W gooseneck. Best. Setup. Ever.

I've turned 90° in my short bed. When I'm parked I have full access to by bed in less than 5 minutes with one 60# lift. Now with the aluminum frame its half the weight. I don't know how standard hitches are still manufactured with this option available. PLUS ITS HALF THE PRICE!!!!!

How far back from the pin box pin to the Anderson ball?
And this is probably the deal breaker for me...if the adapter piece lifts the nose of the trailer any, then I'm out.
The new SuperDutys are really high. I paid a few big$ to have my NorthPoint lifted to get it back level.

It's a 9" offset between the adapter and the hitch. But you can turn the adapter around to make it only 5" for long bed users. The adapter is the same thickness as the king pin, but the hitch has an adjustable height.

Even more interested.
Have you towed the same rig with both your Anderson and a conventional hitch?
Any noticeable differences

Well fortunately no, I've never heard a single clunk, I've never had to grease anything, I've never had to employ neighbors or friends to help me free up my bed and my only chucking experience was on houston roads when it was empty (all because of horrible road conditions).

Since the only play in the whole hitch is in the adapter between the ball and adapter, the 5er has to bounce bad enough to lift off the ball and shift maybe 1/4" inside the adapter. That "Chuck" is unnoticeable over the bouncing of your TV and 5er lol.

I've only heard every conventional users complain over and over again about the same things, and I should probably start asking Anderson for a check for all the people I've sent their way. Even used my prime account to order a few for neighbors at parks and they still thank me today for showing them this product.

Well Bud, a slider moves the kingpin connection back while doing sharp turns. In my humble opinion Pullrite has the best slider on the market. Check it out on U-Tube and see for yourself. I have a Pulrite #3100, 12K hitch for my 5.8' Chevy pickup bed. Happy hunting for your slider.
