First....I have zero affiliation with said product period and gain absolutely nothing but to help others. 

 

Andersen aluminum pin hitch in conjunction with BW hidden hitch is the only way to go. 

 

Weights appx. 35lbs. And easily removed from truck to gain full access to your bed. 

 

Used it to pull appx 12,500lbs @ appx 2500lbs of pin weight. For 1400miles. 

 

After this trip and watching big bumper pulls swaying down the road. It's not even funny.

Something that leaves the bed clean for full use is the only way to go.  Blue Ox has a similar type of deal with their Super Ride 5th wheel setup which is a complete 5th wheel platform that uses the goose neck ball in the bed.

I used to sell this hitch and it was a big hit with the oil field and large fifth wheel trailers. Also super light and easy to remove.

Very nice looking setup!  When I first saw this picture I couldn't imagine such a big trailer on a single axle!  ;-)

Same back to you!  (The first glance I was referring to is the light post base blocking the forward trailer wheels.  It gives the appearance of a single axle)

Pic took me by surprise, myself. And it's my trailer. I swear I thought I lost the damn thing. Haha

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.

She is a frequent contributor to right-leaning networks and platforms, offering commentary that intersects the automotive industry, consumer economics, and conservative political perspectives. [1, 2, 3] Media and Commentary Network Contributions: Fix serves as the National Automotive Correspondent for Newsmax and is a frequent guest on Fox News and Fox Business. Video Platforms: She has contributed to PragerU, where she has hosted videos critiquing government mandates on vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Core Positions Anti-EV Mandates & Fuel Policies: Fix regularly critiques government subsidies and mandates for electric vehicles (EVs), framing them as impractical and burdensome to the average consumer. She advocates for consumer choice and supports traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Economic Analysis: Her commentary often emphasizes the impacts of fuel prices, inflation, and federal regulations on drivers. [1, 2, 3] Political Alignment: On her public channels, she actively supports deregulation, "drill baby drill" energy policies, and the removal of government restrictions on auto sales and manufacturing. [1, 2] For analysis from Lauren Fix on how consumer automotive choices can align with political leanings:

      AFM Disabler Question

      Wouldn't swapping out the original AFM/DFM parts for a complete Delete Kit be the best route to go if one could afford to go that route?

      It comes with directions but yes, generally, it's the same.  Also, get you the dipstick stuff to install dipstick so you have one.
