Wow, prices have gone way up since I bought my steel AUH many years ago. I think I paid $520 shipped.

I think either of them will be a good choice, just go with your gut feeling and ignore the price.

Edit: Just checked, I paid $504.99 shipped through Amazon (sold by Stand Out Automotive) in 2016.

 

This is the best price on the AUH https://www.hitchworkz.com/collectio...-w-ball-funnel

Crappy Kingpin...not an AUH issue.

 

Here's a bunch of propaganda. At the end they conclude that ether one of the 2 hitches are the best of whats out there. I went to Camping World last week hoping to take a look at one and see if they had one of those custom Reese bracket sets and rail mounts after someone on Ebay messed up my order and had to return it. They said they didn't carry them anymore only the Pullrite. The salesperson told me they had many failures and because of safety issues they had to get rid of them. Of course the Pullrite was the only thing he had to show me so he had to discredit it.

It doesn’t sound like the person who wrote that has first had experience with any of the hitches.

 

I agree.....lots of misinformation.

 

Also looking into this hitch, thanks for the info in this thread!

I have a 2020 F-250 CCSB, the Ford SB is 6.75'.

I am looking into Grand Design Reflection models that have the corners sort of clipped to help with turn clearance.

Trying to ensure I will have enough flexibiltiy with the mounting of the adapter and the hitch location to eliminate most if not all of the cab clearance and bed rail clearance issue.

Any advice from you or Sparatcus ?

 

Yes it's doable, here is a pics of my turn radius with my setup my truck is a 2018 3500 dodge ram and my bed is 6'.5' bed and I think that the fords are 6'.75 and my 5th wheel is a Jayco which the noise or the front cap is rounded so the GD front cap is about the same but look at the pics. Sorry for so many pics but I wanted you to get a clear pics of what it look like, you can extend the length in two places but you can only see one of them, the hitch itself have an attachment to the gooseneck ball and you can turn it to face the front or to the back toward the tailgate. You will probably have to go to their website and pull up some pics on how to install it to know what I'm talking about. The fitting that goes on the king pin can be turn also just like that AUH can, so in other words you can get at least 8' backward toward the tailgate and you will have no problem because of your bed being a little longer. I hope this help and if you have any more questions let me know.

 

You can also adjust the funnel up or down to better level your setup, I have had two other hitches and both were good and solid but this one is so I can lift it out of the bed whenever I want to.

 

I have a short bed as well, and was also concerned about turning clearance and a lot of it is trailer dependent. I have an older 2008 cougar 5th and I was pleasantly surprised at how much turning clearance I have with the Superlite. Sorry I don't have pictures but I can crank it as far as I ever need to get backed in where I need to back in. Any further and you're just stressing the hell out of the axles anyway.

 

Yes same here and I totally agree I am happy with my setup.

 

I need a 5th wheel hitch set up and just ordered the Reese customs frame brackets 50043. I now need the rails for the bed. Does anyone know if other brands say like Curt/Husky bolt right up to the Reese brackets. I know that how the hitches mount up to the rails are universal but wanted to make sure the rails are compatible to the brackets.

 

I'm not sure but someone will chime in soon with the answer.

 

they should be. Those bed rails are an industry standard product. If in doubt just buy the Reese rails.

 

Got lucky and found a Reese open box deal for $53. Should be here Saturday. I was concerned that the bolt holes would not line up to the bottom brackets.

THANKS!
