[Kro1957]

I looking at a new Reese 20 k hitch,
Looked at 30119, 30081, 30867
Some have the single jaw or double jaw.

What are you all using? Recommendations.......
Thanks!! Jim

I like a double jaw hitch, my reason is you have more points of contact over a single jaw hitch on the king pin.

I have the reese elite with single jaw. 20k. I like the way it locks, no play or chucking.

Somewhere I read comment about this Reese 30119 mentioned as a "entry level" or "cheap" hitch. Can not find that now so not sure where I read it.

It is a 20k, double jaw hitch and yes it is $150 price difference from next one up.
But honestly I can not find specs that warrent spending that much for for the next one up. Reese is a great product, and with the 20k / 5k pin wt, it matches the other models. The funnel area might be slightly smaller but other than that I am not convinced spending the extra $$ is worth it unless you all can point something out to me that I am not seeing. Thanks Jim

I have the Reese Elite 25K single jaw. It is just about to heavy for me alone to remove from the truck. I painted the jaw white so I can see it is 100% connected.

There is no chucking but I think it is because of the mor-ryde pin box.

Since you asked, I'm using a Curt 20K seen in my signature. I do believe you can save a bunch of $$$ with the Curt. I know I saved about $250 over the others, and am very satisfied with it. $ 746 now on Amazon with rails.

I use a B & W champion 3300 which is 20k/5k and designed to fit in the undermount rails from Reese. It is a double jaw and will not lock unless the pin is properly aligned within the jaws. American made.

The main thing you want to get is the side to side occultation. Makes hitching and un hitching a breeze even when not on level ground. 9 time out of 10 you won't be on level ground.
