Goose Neck - which style

I know I already have a thread up about the hide-away type.


But, How user friendly are the other styles and brands?

I have been looking at on from REESE.. it has a removalble one that you pull some pins and lift it from the bed...leaving two rails that stick up only an inch or so..

I guess the big question is:

What is the best hitch for the money?

Talking B&W

I have used the reese & several other hitches & this is my first B&W but I like this hitch better than any others. I even made my own hitch that was as heavy duty as they come & this hitch is easier to install & is a tight set up. In my opinion the Reese is a little salty for what you get.

B&W as well, I have a rubber mat that I just roll up when using the hitch, when not in use, flip the ball down, un roll mat and never know I had a hitch in the bed.

I have the B&W with a rubber mat also. I just cut a 2" square hole where the ball sits so I can still have a flat bed even while towing.

Been thinking about cutting a square as well, problem is I haul a lot of dirt/sand and other misc. stuff for the garden and the mat keep the dirt out of the hitch.
