For me the B&W lives up to the hype. I'd say I hook onto at least 20 different bumper pull trailers on a regular basis. Sometimes 3 or 4 different trailers a day. Being able to change the ball size and hitch height in seconds is a big time saver.Maybe you guys could help me. I'm a standard drop hitch Curt/Reese kind of guy. Use regular ball hitch for the light duty stuff, pintle hitch for heavy equipment. Big thing is I don't tow very frequently at all to know better. Do these kinds of hitches actually work or live up to the hype?
I saw ads for the Gen-Y hitches for months before I actually saw a price for one...Eek. I've seen all kinds of gimmicks for 5th wheels, too - torsion bars, airbags, little shocks, weight distribution add-ons, etc. The quick adjustability seems like a neat feature, but I couldn't help but picture moving parts becoming wallowed out or galling over time.
Which models made a difference for you guys? Do you feel safer with one of these? Or just features that make the traveling easier?

We use a Harbor Freight weight distributing hitch on our race car tow pig, and it's worth it. I can't tell you how many times Houston drivers have dove in front of me and I had to hammer the brakes to keep from arranging a meeting with their maker. This style hitch makes the trailer track true. https://www.harborfreight.com/10000-lb-capacity-weight-distributing-hitch-system-67649.html
