Can’t wait to hear the final verdict. Really eyeing this hitch!!!
looking forward to your full review for sure. Nice concept. Keen to see how it is with daily connects and disconnects. as always, safe travels....
Another great review/intro & install.
I look fwd to seeing the full review and how it stacks up on your list of 10 systems, especially on cost.
Cheers, Eric
Very impressive hitch looking forward to the big road test thanks Cory 👍
You and me both!
Neat looking, curious to see the anti sway capabilities versus long bar hitches.
Watching this. Slightly regretting my GenY boss purchase hahaha this is really awesome and I LOVE B&W they are the GOATS! This is different than a propride, I know it’s not the same, but it’s also nowhere near the cost!!! Also really cool your wife hangs out with you when you tinker! 😂 I wish! I’m always yelling for a water or a helping hand!
I've been eying this hitch since I first saw it, and was hoping you would do a video on this. Looking forward to next video after your towing/testing more. Thanks again.
I’d also like to add that I’m currently using the Anderson WDH which has performed great and I purchased based on your test of it. I pull a 26’ Intech Terra Oasis so not to big or heavy (5600 lbs dry). Really interested to see how you compare Andersen to B&W. Keep up the great work!
It looks good so far it is now on my list.
Great video. I run the anderson right now but it's not capable of putting enough weight back on the front with a heavy TT.. plus it's not as easy to hook up as this unit despite what people say. Last the brake material might last a season before needing replaced. This hitch seems like a great new design. Thang for reviewing it!
Used to have the anderson as well and ya I was replacing that brake material twice a year
I think it’s a really nice design. I feel they should incorporate a mechanical lock. Eventually that cylinder will begin to leak down.
yeah a few things I noticed that would be nice to have,
1) a rubber strap that latches over the pump handle to make sure it doesn't pop out
2) a way to secure the nut that bleeds the pressure from the pump, its right on the side of the pump where a kid can just unscrew it at a rest stop
3)
Nice,Good information
Neat idea. Probably great for dry warmer weather. I trailer all year to include snowmobiling. All the extra mechanical components and hydraulic plumbing wouldn’t last long with the salt and calcium chloride.
I have been using the B&W continuum for a little over 1500 miles. It was a small learning curve as is any new hitch. We pulled across Oklahoma and I did not even know we had 35mph wind until I stopped for fuel. Very happy with it so far. Tow set up is : 2006 dodge 3500SRW with a grand design momentum 25g. Safe travels
Great to hear!
What did you have before the B&W, if anything? Thanks!
I am getting the 25G also and I am looking at this or the Weigh Safe, did you do the install? My dealer wants me to get the Equal-l-Aer 4 system.
Skip the WeighSafe. It's pointless to know the live tongue weight.
I would like to see more on this hitch. I have a Curt weight distribution hitch that came with my GD Momentum 30G that I am looking to upgrade. I have tried adjusting to remove some of the sag that I get with NY Duramax 2500 with no luck. This appears to be a good option.
WoW 😢 Now this is an awesome hitch. I am looking into the Gen-Y, Anderson and now this B&W hitch. We tow with a 2020 Infiniti QX80 and our e2 Fastway hitch is so noisy and it’s horrible with 15-20 mile an hour winds. We don’t feel safe with it at all. This hitch is in our wish list now since it’s very expensive.
I tow with a 2023 Armada and use the Eaz-Lift (dealer gifted) 😉, it is noisy and heavy. My prior trailer I used the Anderson hitch, really liked it. I only tow a 22’ Rockwood mini lite.
The hitch seems like there would be a lot of torque and pressure at the coupler since the bars are so short. I would also consider adding a safety chain around each cylinder support pin bracket to mitigate cylinder failure while towing.
very intriged by this hitch! i do like my "o.g" EQ4 but my bed cargo often changes and then my hitch isn't setup correctly anymore. this one has my eye for sure...
I believe the WeighSafe also uses a pin lock height adjustment, which is why I chose to go that route with 2 tow vehicles. A standard height 19 Ranger and 6” lifted 07 F250
2019 Ranger? That's not a tow vehicle.
Oh Lord, all I need is another hitch. I now have three, and I am again tempted by this one. I first got the Weigh Safe, but I quickly found that the weight of the hitch and bars was more than I wanted to deal with.....I'm 72 and looking for an easier life. So then I got the Andersen hitch, but had difficulty with it (nothing big....just more sway than I wanted). Then I bit the bullet and got the Pro-Pride, and it is easy for this old guy to manage ..... except for the weight of the stinger. But now I'm eagerly awaiting your evaluation of this B&W hitch. It will be interesting to see how the sway control stacks up against the others.
I’ll live with it awhile and report back!
Looking forward to the full review. I'm now between this one and the weigh safe. I like the adjustment on the fly abilities. I'm still sporting a BO swaypro that I've had for a couple of trailers and now a 37ft'r. I've got plenty of truck, but I'm now realizing (through your reviews) I don't have to put up with some of the BO deficiencies ie. sway, adjustment, porpoising.
Unfortunately the Sway Pro has been the worst performing hitch I've used. You'll be happy with either upgrade!
@@WanderingWeekends That's helpful to know!
Getting my finger closer to the “add to order” button!
Thanks as always
Appreciate you watching!
@@WanderingWeekends enjoy all of your videos
I have the Equalizer on a 1/2 ton and would like to try this out, I'm getting up there in age and this looks a lot easier to load compared to the bars. Can't wait to see your follow up review. Hay B&W if you need someone to test this on a 2019 RAM 1500 5th gen pulling a 2022 Rockwood 2516S MiniLite I would be very interested. :)
hope your travels keep you on LEVEL highways with this, i foresee some "ouch" moments..... 🤠
You are a great information resource on RVing providing a camper perspective without a sales pitch. Interested in the product because of the technology. I have a 2022 F250 with the 7.3 and just did my first tow with the truck. Only .2MPG difference between my old Suburban with the 5.3 engine. Curious as to what tire pressure you run on your tow vehicle and on your travel trailer as proper tire pressure can cause some towing issues along with proper additional cargo weight distribution in the trailer. Thank yo for this review!
Appreciate that!
Max PSI on the TV tires =80 psi. I run. The front at 65 and the rear at 75. This seems to give me a good ride along with adequate pressure to handle the hitch of the trailer. For cargo distribution you’ll need to make sure a minimum of 10% of your loaded trailer weight is on the ball. I’d cheat towards 15%.
LOL. I like the saying "truck suck" to describe the air pushed by vehicles
Great video and would like to see round up video ranking the 10 hitches.
That will 100% happen!
What would be interesting is to see the actual weight on the trailer and each of the axles on the pickup.
Hoping you do this review soon as I am on the fence between the B&W and the WeighSafe as my first and Hopely only WDH. I have yet to see any reviews of the B&W on the internet.
Great video review
Appreciate that.
I’ve had some interest in this hitch, but B&W’s website isn’t very good about providing information on it. Wish they had a 3” shank. Really looking forward to your full review.
I wish they came out with this a few months sooner. I may have gotten it vs the propride.
I think you have the best hitch. I have watched a couple videos and one with a rep and when ask about sway control his answer was WDH control sway by getting weight back to the front axles. So basically admitting it doesn’t really have sway control.
Only thing with the hitch head it'll be easy to steal with the slide pins
Or some kid remove the locking pins and you don’t notice it, bolts for me please
Great installation video ! I’ve seen this and the test review video. I wanted to ask what the tag is flapping in the wind on the safety chain.? I saw something in the rear camera video on your test drive flapping I thought a chunk of safety chain was striking the ground but must be the tag I see in this video.
I have had an equalizer for 5 years on my camper and it’s brutal to mount and hook up and very noisy when not lubed properly. Also at 25” inches is that ball hight the max ? It looked as though you brought it up to the last hole and it maxed out. Lastly will you be keeping this system on permanently or moving on to #11 in the near future ?
Thanks really enjoyed your videos appreciate you posting.
You have a lot of pins to check each time you start traveling. I could see kids playing around and removing some of those pins. You may feel you want to put locking pins on some if not all of them. Good luck.
I’d argue there are several pins on nearly all of these hitches.
I’m very excited about this hitch. I just bought a ProPride and love the tow but hate the complexity of hitching and unhitching. Very interested to know how you feel this compares to the ProPride. I want something my wife feels comfortable using if she had to and it seems like this is very easy for someone who is not experienced with towing to use.
The ProPride stinger can real a huge PITA for sure.
Once you get used to how to set your WD bars on the ProPride it’s gets to be super easy to hook up. Far easier than more normal hitches where you have to remove and reinstall the bars every time. My wife feels the same way and it’s one of the things we live about the hitch.
I’m eager to hear your overall assessment.
That looks like a easy install,is the ball already tilted for you& is it easy to unhitch when you get to your campsite or home parking area
Nice looking hitch. I like the weight distribution system a lot. Neat innovation! But it seems to me the sway control still relies on friction between the trailer receiver and the hitch ball. So its a sway reducer as opposed to a sway preventer like the Propride system. Anyway, a really nice video and I'll look forward to your full review.
If sway is reduced enough it’s never an issue… PP has made a killing scaring everyone into thinking 100% of sway MUST be eliminated. I never felt safer with the ProPride vs the 2 Weigh Safe products.
@@WanderingWeekends...
Curious if you have been out on the high plains of Wyoming testing this and the ProPride...if not will you?
Looking forward to you full review.
My initial thoughts are that while the hydraulic WD control is pretty cool. It’s great at fine tuning your WD setup and nice that you can do the full setup from one side of the hitch easily.
However the hydraulics are also a failure point that more conventional hitches don’t have. And you know it’s going to fail at the worst possible moment.
Also it will be Interesting to see what hook up and disconnection is like. As it is the system looks like it might be a bit of a pain point.
I’m curious if the ball mount portion would work with Gen-Y Boss Torsion Flex WD shank. Seems like a nicer and easier setup
My first instinct on this hitch is that it may not work well on lower trailers, such as enclosed cargo trailers like a lot of truck camper owners tow behind their rig, like I do. Most cargo trailers only have a hitch height of about 18-20". Lower trailers would cause this hitch to be too close to the ground.
I'd like to see this on a 1/2 ton
Same here
Ditto
You mean a half ton truck?
@@markgilbert218 yes
@@ZeBeaupre Well I bought this for my Tundra (1/2 Ton) and my 26 foot trailer to be delivered at the end of the week.
I think a cross between this and the anderson would be very good so you would have sway control.
This is definitely better with sway than the Andersen and the Andersen isn’t that bad.
nice video! it's for sure got my interest....just not sure I can convince my wife why I need to buy our 3rd hitch!!!!! lol
Understandable!!
I like it a lot. That pressure relief valve though is easily accessible. Any joker passing by can open it up. So I guess one would add "check the pressure gauge" to the list of "things to check" before getting into the truck after any pit stop.
I'll be interested in your full review. I have been contemplating the tru tow and this since it was mentioned. Looking to replace my old reese trunnion setup that is about worn out. My only caution is my driveway has a dip where it hits the main street that about drags my hitch shank on, so this B&W would likely be hitting the pavement there.
I’m sure we will encounter some spots where clearance will be important. I’ll keep an eye on it.
Gosh, i’d like to ask you several questions about this hitch. But I don’t think i can get my questions typed out clearly for you.
Don’t want to lay out another $1k with out some answers. And i don’t want to wast your time. Thanks for all the info i did get from your video. Guess ill keep weaving down the road. 😅 7.3 & 2670MK
If your truck has the factory shocks I’d replace them with Bilstien shocks that would help a lot with the bouncing
It isn’t a problem with most hitches.
Yep on that hitch head ease of changing. I just did mine on my hitch and out came the torque wrench and 15 minutes of cussing roughly...
I'm going to hold off making a decision on a hitch until I see your thoughts between the B&W ant the Weigh Safe. The ability to backup and sway control are most important to me. Ease of setup is also high on my list. I'm looking forward to your next video. 👍
Appreciate you being here!
@@WanderingWeekends Well, after a little more research I discovered the B&W Continum system will not work on my trailer because my trailer has a center frame (two fram members on each side in an A-shape, and a third frame down the middle). This sucks.
Ah! Well that makes the decision easier I guess.
Yeah it does. I’m leaning towards the Weigh Safe but my trailer weight is right at about 8,500 lbs fully loaded so I will talk to the tech guys at WS is determine which setup to go with.
@@DucDNA How do you find out what type of frame you have to know if this is a bad option?
Great vid, would like to see on 1/2 ton and think it is way more difficult for a normal DIY
I’m pretty normal… 😂🤣
I’d like to see you do a review of the Shocker Hitch.
They won’t respond to us 🫤
Nice info video Corey . Like my wife says " if he isn't handsome at least he's handy " . I guess your handy . Plugs out .
Haha! Handy enough!
Looking good so far. Come on B&W, I'm still rootin' for ya! About how high off the ground was lowest part of the hitch?
More clearance than the bottom of the shank so it shouldn’t be a problem.
@@WanderingWeekends Excellent, I've seen some chatter on the forums that was saying it was way too low, but it didn't look like with the camera angle you had.
Seen all 10, now!
Appreciate you!
Looks like a fine piece fo gear for weight distribution. Although, I don't see how it controls sway?
The shaft under the tow ball does that work.
How many hours before you have to rebuild the hydro cylinder or res unit?
I want to win one of these and compare it to my WeighSafe True Tow!
Can you please include the hitch weight of hitches when you test them?
Question wouldn’t this be the same as having airbags on your truck to level the truck and trailer.
Hows the ground clearance going to be on a standard 1/2 ton.?
I see the more traditional bed toolbox back in the truck - were the side boxes no longer working for ya'll?
Yeah, I was actually using them quite a bit but I was NOT using the big toolbox much. Decided I'd rather have the bed space back and move what I had in the side boxes to the toolbox.
@@WanderingWeekends It'd be pretty cool if someone made a swing around box - something you could pivot to either side and access, but then swing back to get the bedspace and you could simply unpin and move making it simple to switch back and forth each day.
Any date yet for the review???? I am very interested and need to decide soon. Thanks and great video.
Shooting the vid early next week. If you need my opinion now… Weigh Safe.
@@WanderingWeekendsThank you and I'll be sure to watch the video when you release it.
Have you ever had issues of sway while having weight distribution hitch connected and Ford's trailer sway controller enabled? I have noticed with my Blue Ox on my 16 F350 I have to disable the trailer sway controller and tows 100x better.
Curious what changes while towing when you disable Ford Trailer Sway Control?
@@turbopilot Not 100% sure. I just have read somewhere some times the weight distrubtion and sway controller fight against each other trying to combat sway. After turning mine off the trailer hauls so much better.
Also would like to see it on 1/2 ton
Would that pin and clip work on the Weigh-safe middleweight head unit?
I’m not sure but even if it did I would probably shy away from trying. It’s such a crucial spot. Haha. I’m gonna stick to what they designed the hitch around. I do cheat with Equalizer saddle pins on the Weigh Safe though. Haha.
Weigh Safe, if you’re listening switch to these pins vs the huge nuts and bolts if you can!
Still worried about the sway control, or lack of it. They depend on the ball but is that enough?
Seemed to do well on this tow. We will see.
Do the tuck and trailer have to be in a straight line to hitch up? Seems like it would have to be since you can’t rotate the mounting point by hand.
No, I believe you can rotate it when it’s not under load. I may be wrong. Stay tuned.
I have this B&W hitch and they don’t have to be in a straight line with each other, although it helps. I did find that if the trailer and truck are on extreme non-level ground w truck much higher than trailer, I had trouble removing the bars from the hitch due to lack of travel space. But that is likely unique to me as I have a center frame support that starts 16.5” behind my jack that prevents the cylinder from swinging far enough back.
Do you happen to have a realistic idea of how long it'll take you to get some miles on the Continuum and release your full review video? Only asking because I'm ditching my TrackPro that's been nothing but problems and I'm not sure which trigger to pull--the WeighSafe or the Continuum! You're making the decision for me!
If I’m guessing mid-June 😐
Weigh Safe is a good bet if you can’t wait.
Have you tested the Hensley hitch it is remarkable.
Ive tested the ProPride which is the Hensleys updated cousin. It is good but so are the Weigh Safe units. This hitch felt very good too but just not enough miles to give a true verdict yet.
Cool operating hitch. Not sure if I care for the complexity of the hydraulic operation or, should the pump lose compression while in tow, that you would lose all the weight distribution and sway control. That could easily put someone in a dangerous situation.
Great point. That said if any component of any hitch fails you’ll have an issue on your hands.
@@WanderingWeekends
I run the Equal-i-zer setup very happy with it simple with little that can fail mechanically it has load leveling and sway control bought it for $750 with the purchase of our 2022 GD Imagine XLS 17 MKE however very interested in hearing your in service reviews of this B&W system.
I'm doing research for a new anti-sway hitch and this one has my attention. How does this compare so far to the Weigh Safe and ProPride? I need a new sway hitch in the next month and can't find many good reviews of this one.
I have to get some miles on this one before I can really give you a sincere review. Sometimes that takes time since we aren’t always towing the RV. Right now I’d choose a Weigh Safe over a Pro Pride for MY setup. I sold my ProPride. It was worth its value to me over the Weigh Safe. We will see about the Continuum.
@@WanderingWeekends I have the same trailer as yours but an F150. Based on your experience with Weigh Safe, do you think it will be as effective in windy conditions or with Truck Suck?
Grand Designs are the best ❤
Question for you.
How much does it hang down?
The pictures on the website make it look low.
It looked fine on your truck.
I live on an island so ferry boat to get off. Depending on the tide the ramp can be at a nasty angle. I would be a bit worried about this hitch hanging down too far and possibly taking a hit.
Other then that, it looks interesting.
I will definitely be interested to see what your final thoughts are when you are done testing.
On edit, just read a few of the other questions and answers, so it doesn't even hang as low as the bottom of the shank. Any chance you could give a measurement.
Thanks.
I’ll have to get a measurement. Many are asking. When it’s being used it doesn’t seem to be an issue. When it’s disengaged one can pump it all of the way up if needed. I don’t see it being an issue but that is why I spend significant time with them. We will see!
@@WanderingWeekends Thanks Cory
cool hitch i wonder if its as good as the weigh safe though?
I’ll have to spend time with it to see.
@@WanderingWeekends dont really see how it can do sway control as there is no friction points except for the ball?
How does it work with the auto levelling on your truck?
I don’t have auto leveling…
I’m curious what the measurement is from the top of the hitch (the part the ball mounts to, not the top of the ball) to the lowest point. That will give me an idea of ground clearance with my cargo trailer. Are you part of the HTSAYTC group that KYD created?
I’ll have to cover ground clearance in the review.
@@WanderingWeekends Sounds good, thanks! I will stay tuned for your review. I'm shopping for a new cargo trailer and want to get something that doesn't have "drop spring axles" like my current trailer, because I want more clearance. That will help my situation some.
So is the sway control achieved with a friction collar?
Yes, shaft inside the head of the hitch.
How often do they recommend going back and retork the bolts
I haven’t noticed that recommendation but I’d assume 100 miles or so.
I've been eyeing that hitch for a while, I'd like to know if you can still open the tailgate ?
Unfortunately, no 😐
@@WanderingWeekends Thanks, I know they are working on a longer receiver, I'll be waiting.
@@WanderingWeekends ruclips.net/video/unErUGZgB24/видео.html
So is it just a weight distribution or is it an anti sway as well ? I need to get a hitch asap and was leaning more towards the weigh safe due to your reviews. I have a 30' toy hauler with a 4 seat RZR and when tractors pass me up it sways bad even at 65mph I already tried distributing weight as much as possible but not much success. Help is appreciated Thank you.
It claims anti-sway and I have to believe it performs based on that first tow. I'll have to spend more time with it to be sure. So far so good.
@@WanderingWeekends thank you appreciate your quick response I think since I need it now I'll jump to the weigh safe.
can the PLOW part of the hitch be turned up and still work ? .....we don't need to plant corn with it
Auto planter is a option for 2024.
On a serious note, I get the concern but it’s never been an issue for us.
So two questions:
1. Since it is beefy, how much extra tongue weight does it add, because that does need to be factored into payload calculations?
2. So far, is it a quiet hitch or does it have the typical groans and pops?
1. Only the scale can really tell you where your payload stands. Keep in mind the hitch moves weight to the trailer as well. How much weight? You’d need a scale to know exactly. That could be a great vid.
2. Based on its design I expect this hitch to be completely silent.
The whole hitch assembly as shipped is around 80 pounds.
@@tgh117 Thanks! Surprisingly light!
You mention a lot that the ProPride is good but not 2-3 times the price good. Suggestion if you're interested, when you do your ranking of the 10 hitches, maybe do an outright ranking as well as a performance per dollar ranking. I watch a lot of tech channels and that is a (admittedly very subjective) way to try and normalize for price.
We will absolutely do that video!
Any limitations backing up?
No
Using a locking hitch pin for theft but the ball is just 2 quick pins 😂😂
I did'nt see a lock on the pump handle some people and kid's might want to mess with it
Boy, it had better be a BIG DIFFERENCE in towing for all the works!
And the cost $1300.
all what work? This hitch is probably one of the easiest WD hitch's to install, and hitch up time it is probably also in the same category as about the easiest to hook up. I am stuck between going with this one or the weight safe tru-tow
@@pvp64 any of the 10k hitches are all around the 1k price tag for a quality hitch.
How much extra weight does all of this hitch setup add too hitch assembly? Sure seems like these fancy weight distribution setups and hitches in general add a lot of unnecessary weight to your tow rig.
Sway is good to go?
Pretty darn good!
Worth the extra cost over the Andersen?
If your trailer is over 30ft OAL yes. Absolutely
@@WanderingWeekends mines not, but I would like a little more weight up front. The Andersen is a little lacking in how much distribution you can actually get.
Saw this on their website: "Eliminate sway and ensure a level, stable ride with this weight distribution hitch with sway control." ELIMINATE sway? I'll need proof of that.
I had some side winds on the first tow… it did very well. Much better than Blue Ox products. Only about 6 miles though. I’ll put 500 on it and then we will know for sure.
@@WanderingWeekends Impressive, so far. 🤞
your going to plant some corn with that thing eventually...
I keep seeing clearance comments… it has more clearance than most of the drop shanks I’ve used included this one. 🤷🏻♂️
@@WanderingWeekends I have seen one in person and talked the to the owner. He said its the biggest drawback of this set up. speed bumps, inclines/declines (boondocking)
How much weight is it
Sticking with the Anderson, it’s so easy to hitch up and go. And lightweight.
I run the anderson.. it sucked hooking and unhooking when I had auto leveling.. it also isn't great at putting the weight back on the front tires when running heavy TT's like my jayco 284bhok. Last even after they updated the design the brake cone material doesn't last long on heavy TT's owned it 3 years and replaced it already. It is light but it's not a great hitch design unless your running lighter trailers.
@@dodgefreak8797 thanks for the feedback, I haven’t had those issues yet myself. Although, I don’t really need the weight distribution, towing An 8k trailer with a 1 ton truck. It barely notices the tongue weight.
If the instruction say to go as far back as possible on the bar that hold the hydraulic piston. Why not put it against the metal base of the propane tank?
It would be cover by the plastic cover and reduce rain water on it.
Also you have to fix your audio
Commercials are very loud because your audio is too low
Does B&W offer a Professional Install?
Reach out to them and see. Its a pretty simple DIY though.
It sits low, any problems dragging it up and down driveways.
Not at all. We will see if it becomes an issue.
I talked to the guys at B&W yesterday. Firstly really impressed that they answered the phone with no wait time and talked to him for over 30 minutes, answering questions about the Continuum. They said they've hauled trailers all the way through harsh Alaska roads and put over 150,000 miles on this hitch with no issues of clearance.
On a real hitch you should be able to turn sway control On/Off. You don't need sway ON in the mountains with switchbacks or driving thru town making turns. Looks like it's got very low ground clearance. I won't be trading my R6 for this...
Would you prefer the B&W Continuum or the Weigh Safe?
I have to get some significant miles on the Continuum before answering that question. 😐
Better be good for $1300!
