5th Wheel Hitch Buyer's Guide

[proscriptus]

Hi everyone,

I'm an automotive writer with a major (ish) site, and I'm putting together a 5th Wheel Hitch Buyer's Guide. I've been doing a lot of reading, watched videos, and talked to a couple of acquaintances who tow, but that's a small sample size and it's easy to miss important information when you don't have first-hand experience—I've done lots of bumper towing, but never with a 5th wheel.

I'd love some input from knowledgeable people about what to look for when buying a 5th wheel hitch, what to avoid, and any personal experiences with specific brands or models. I'm happy to provide my email in a PM if anyone wants to talk off the record.

Thanks,
Dave

We have entered the age of “content”. We no longer have reporters that investigate stories first hand, we now have journalists that simply repackage what other people say and pass that off as their own work.

We entered that age a long, long time ago. Back before the 1980's Baltimore had 2 major newspapers with " investigative journalists ". Often the local news would would quote their stories. Then one went out of buisness and by the 1990's the remaining paper was running news from the "news wire" like API. Now few investigative stories are aired and it seems like the last 20 years the news is driven by Twitter. No true vetting of sources or looking for truth. Seems like it's all turned into "tabloid tv" and I put no trust into any of it.
