5th wheel hitch basics...

[Bones]

I would rather see the whole hitch use my pucks rather than having to get adapters. Every adapter adds a minor amount of play.

From PullRite:

"As long as you're using Industry Standard Rails you can use any brand." So both the PullRite and the Andersen hitch work with industry standard size above bed rails.

The Andersen 3200 Ultimate Fifth Wheel Connection uses rails:

The Andersen hitch weighs 40 pounds
The PullRite hitch weighs 98 pounds

A quick check at Tweetys RV shows:
PullRite $599
Andersen $505

Come the day when I need a new hitch I will probably go with the Anderson.

I'll most likely stick with my slider as long as I have my current short box Chevy . . .

Right you are Gaffer, I stand corrected on the PullRite weight. My mistake!
