KZ makes many style trailers that need pulled by a TV. I just changed my TV and had to research hitches as the old hitch did not fit the new TV. I know I am not the first with a TV issue. Any one else think a tread on tow vehicles might be of use?

I don't know Edd, you might be opening a can of worms here LOL

As I'm sure you have read such on the Good Same Open roads form Irv2 form along with many other MFG
forms, it's Chev against Ford, Ford against Chev or Dodge etc ...

As you know I am a Ford guy an have been for many years, I once bought a Chev 4x4 an my Dad almost
disowned me, even bought an over the road truck that was a Ford(WD9000)man was that thing heavy, so
I am a Ford guy thought an thought ... But I have to tell you I have looked at Dodges do to the fact I like
Cummings engines an for the most part have had Cummings engines in my over the road trucks for many
years an they pulled better than those 2 cycle jimmy engines

So it might be a good thing in some way's to compare oranges, apples an grapes so owners of each can
compare or see updates to each fruit

lol i am upgrading from the 3rd Ecoboost we have owned to a 2018 F250 to haul the 18 331TH12 5th wheel we have. the new truck has the puck system
and at first I thought we would have to purchase a new 5th wheel head and base.

NOPE
Reese makes an adaptor for the ford puck system so i can still use our 16K Titan with slider.

315$ USD at E-trailer.com

If you use the adapter it raises the hitch height a couple inches so you may end up nose high on the 5W. I went B&W at lowest setting and 5W 2 from the top came out level.

Any one out west here I have a 26K in my shop I don't need.
