[quote author=agcntry link=board=11;threadid=5839;start=0#53999 date=1034818031]<br>Thanks,<br>I looked at that Draw-Tite hitch. I was wondering about the B&amp;W with snow and mud and such and that underneath latch system. Place in town sells B&amp;W, have to drive or pay shipping for Draw-Tite. How much hasssle is B&amp;W with stuff plugging latch system underneath.<br>[/quote]<br><br>We have to B&amp;W hitches on are farm trucks, one is a Dodge v10 and the other is a 78 Ford. These trucks live in the dirt and the mud and that is were we ran into the problems of the hitches freezing up in the winter time. If we would clean the trucks every now and then it probeble wouldn't be as bad. :<br><br>It's probeble not a big problem on a street drivin truck, and it's easy to get them unfrozen with a swift smack with a hammer. <br><br>Darrell

 

I use The Hidden Hitch one on my 2002. Makes for a nice look when they sprayed in the bedliner around it, kinda made it look flat. Nice ball hitch, just keep it greased.

 

My dad's got one where the ball screws into the bed of his. Had it there for about 4 years now and no problems yet. Pull a 3 horse gooseneck constantly with it and it hasn't failed yet. Unscrews real easy and threads in perfect everytime. I'm saving up for a hitch and brake controller now that I have all the gauges and the power where I want it (till I hit college ). Been wanting to show dad how crappy that 6.5 is. ;D

 

Here is the link to the goose neck hitch I have rated at 25k lbs.<br><br>http://www.putnamhitch.com/Gooseneck/lockload.htm<br><br>I have had it for 3 years with no problems and nice to have a flat load surface.
