    Question B&W or Rhino USA drop hitch?

    Looking for a new adjustable drop hitch. Considering B&W (steel) or a Rhino USA (aluminum) drop hitch
    Steel is definitely tougher & stronger. B&W are proven & reliable. Does anyone have any experience
    with the Rhino USA hitch? A little concerned how aluminum will hold up over time pulling a 21’ boat.
    Recommendations?

    I have a B&W and have no complaints so I would either go with the B&W or the Rhino hands down and without question.

    Either one would be a great choice. I have used B&W for the last 7 years and been very happy with them. Heard great things about the Rhino hitch as well. The Rhino design does make it easier to secure the hitch pins. That’s always been a concern of mine on the B&W design. If some jackwad pulls the pins at the boat ramp, they could put me out of commission.

    All I’ve had was BW and have no reason to change.

    Have a B&W as they are the only ones who make one specifically for Chevy/GMC multi pro tailgates.

    That happened to my son in downtown Birmingham on a jobsite. B&W hitch. Messed up his afternoon. That incident was one of the reasons I went with Weigh Safe.

    Another vote for Weigh Safe, works great and is ideal for the different trailers I tow with my Tundra.
