2021 Raptor 352

Third RV, first 5th wheel. I have a 2021 Raptor 352. I drive a 2020 Ram 3500 SRW (but have just ordered a 2022 DRW). I use the Andersen Ultimate hitch.

Good choice on the truck & toy hauler.
I can't the same for the hitch. I have a very hard time wrapping my head around hitching up a 17000 GVWR toy hauler to a 35lb aluminum tripod hitch with the pounding it takes on our wonderful highway system, to me that just does not compute. Just my .02 cents worth!

I am guessing you have never actually owned or enjoyed the benefits of an Andersen Ultimate hitch. The model that is rail mounted has these specs:

Weight rating: 20,000 lbs GTWR, 4,500 tongue weight

The rail mounted Andersen Ultimate should be well able to handle the Raptor's weight and pin weight. If you have personal negative experience with the Andersen Ultimate, please share. I have been using an Andersen Ultimate gooseneck mount for a number of years and am pretty happy with it.
