I'm using a Pullrite Superglide (with the turning point pinbox locked in place). Didn't need such a big/heavy hitch but when my parents got rid of their 5th wheel a few years ago they gave me the hitch knowing I eventually planned on having one.
Just got back from our first actual trip with the Reflection 290BH and loved it. A quick "minimoon" to Shenandoah National Park since we don't have a lot of time to travel now. But our big plans are for a 5-6 week road trip next year after she finishes NP school. Couple pictures from my quick stay out of cell phone range this week with my bride and pup. Always love the hiking up there and the weather was perfect for us.
*edit: I didn't mention it originally, but I will note that yes, the 6.2L with 3.73's was DEFINITELY feeling it pulling up the hills getting into the mountains. To its credit though, it had been a very long day (day after the nuptials), we were getting in way later than I planned, and was pushing it way harder than I should have been. However, on the return trip, I was feeling much more patient, tried the manual mode as suggested on the FTE forum, and had a much more pleasant experience. It may not be the monster tow pig that some others are, but overall I'm very happy with the truck. Drinks gas like it's shooting out of a garden hose but that's just the cost of doing business.
Awesome that is really a very nice setup and thank you for the pics I love looking at people setup I can be driving down the highway and when I see someone coming up in their fiver I take notice and wonder what kind of hitch they are using.
Very nice rigs guys.....
I tow my Montana 3790RD (41+ feet) 18,000 lbs in the rockies and everywhere........ Piece of cake !!
2015 F-350 dually with 6.7 Diesel, 3.73 rear end.... The truck doesn't have to work hard most of the time......
2021 JAYCO Eagle 357MDOK. 13,500 dry wt, 15,000 gross. 2020 F350 Lariat, 7.3 with 3.73 gears. Andersen Ultimate hitch. Added Airlift 7500XL bags and a Hellwig Big Wig sway bar. A little overkill I’m now finding out. Upgraded from a 2017 Nissan Titan XD diesel pulling a 37’ Tracer trailer. 7 trips this year mostly in the upper Midwest. First 5th wheel, just love it over bumper pulling. Hoping to head east this spring and explore the northeast coastline from Rhode Island to Canada. Not heading west till I convert the electric drum brakes to disc.

Congratulations on moving up to a Superduty. I moved up from a 2007 Titan.
