At a glance

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, highlighting a premium, heavy-duty B&W adjustable hitch that looks great, is easy to adjust/use, and is backed by fast shipping and strong customer service from Sharptruck.com. A rare negative note mentions lack of proactive shipping notification/email communication.

What Customers Liked

  • Described as solid, stout, heavy-duty, well built; confidence it will last for years/“last hitch I’ll ever buy”; trusted brand reputation; made in the USA.
  • Quick/easy to flip balls, change ball size, and adjust drop/height; tow-to-stow feature is simple; no need for reducer adapters; convenient for multiple trailers.
  • Tucks/folds away to avoid shin/knee hits; stows nicely under truck; solid connection; anti-rattle bracket compatibility; quality locking pin praised.
  • Looks great/sharp, shiny/chrome, “gorgeous”; adds style/class to the truck; customers like the finish and overall aesthetics.
  • Works with GMC MultiPro tailgate with no issues (as reported); users mention good fit on various trucks (F250, Silverado, Denali HD).
  • Easy ordering, easy-to-navigate website, fast delivery (often 2 days), arrived as promised, excellent packaging, timely/on-time, responsive customer service; would buy again.

Things to Consider

  • One customer did not receive an expected shipment email/notification and had to call on day 5 to get status (issue was resolved helpfully).
  • Selecting the right drop requires careful measurement; one reviewer noted B&W documentation didn’t include enough dimensions for ground clearance and required calling customer service to confirm hitch lengths.
  • One reviewer hopes the finish holds up over time with frequent washing; no failure reported, just a concern.

Ground Clearance - 11" minimum recommended by B&W

I bought this hitch for my 2022 F250 Fx4 Superduty.  A key consideration as to which hitch (4-1/2" or 7" adjustable drop) to buy is the amount of drop required for your specific truck and trailer combination.  B&W does a great job of telling you how to calculate the amount of drop needed for your specific trailer, however another aspect that needs to be considered is ground clearance of the hitch.
B&W recommends a minimum of 11" ground clearance, however B&W does not provide sufficient dimensions of its hitches to determine ground clearance.  I contacted B&W customer service 1-800-248-6564 and they provided the following information for their 3" hitches: "The 4.5" drop measures 8.3" long. The 7.5" drop measures 11.1" long. When you tow in the lowest position with both pins installed in the drop the ball can be approximately 2" longer."
The distance from the inside top tube of my truck hitch receiver to the ground is 22", so  I bought the 4-1/2" drop as the 7" drop would be too long and not provide sufficient ground clearance.  
After installing the hitch, I measured 11-1/4" ground clearance with the hitch in its lowest position and the 2" ball pointed up (2-5/16" ball pointed down).  Stowing the hitch, I rotated the balls, so that the 1-7/8" is pointed downward.  In the highest stowed position, I measured 13-3/4" ground clearance.
