We got the same one put on our previous hitch, a Reese, back in 2012. JayC has that hitch now, and I'm sure it's still holding up great. So when we went to Elkhart in 2014, we had one put on our B&W. it doesn't fit as well on this hitch, but it does the job.
Only compliant is that the welded buttons can rust if not painted, and if they extend above the teflon, they wear on the hitch plate, rubbing off the paint and then rust. I've repainted the buttons a few times.
But no more kingpin mounted teflon disks needed, ever!!!!!!

Jerrod nice hitch plate. That would work nice on mine. I scratch my 5th wheel when backing up to hitch up because the disc hasn't hit yet. Glad your getting the truck soon I'm sure it will be a nice vehicle. It will be interesting to see how it hooks up and levels out with your rig. I saw a new ford dually yesterday in a parking lot.

Good to hear, Jay! I was specifically talking about the teflon plate welded to the top, it's still doing its job, right?

I have one of those fold-up dollies too. Used it yesterday to move some real heavy boxes around the house. Really handy.
But - they won't lift my smoker up into my RV
May need MORryde or someone to construct v2 of the Jerrod Lift

Dave this is 10 years of abuse on my Reese and I've always used the Teflon disc.

I Have the same hitch Jerrod except mine is 20 K. What made you switch to the B&W one?

I've herd alot of good things about the B&W and I like the release better. No more pulling my shoulder out of socket releasing the Reese.
Hope I like it. Also no flopping side to side when going around turns.
Clunk clunk.

Yeah my hitch has jammed on me twice trying to get it to release. Yes it does have play in it too and it seems to be wearing on one side of my pin. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

Ford offers the Reese from the factory for $1499 and I found the B&W for $825 on Amazon

I like it and I don't like it both at the same time.

I'm a truck Driver I like a real fithwheel hitch. The ball hitch you have to be more precise when hooking up too. You can't just aim and get close.

Get a little black and white and mix to match the grey hitch.
