Have you seen this new Curt hitch?

Hi guys, I was recently watching a video by eTrailer showing new hitches. One was the Curt Crosswing Fifth Wheel Hitch. It comes in a rail configuration for $800 and Gooseneck configuration for $1,300. It goes directly against the Anderson Ultimate hitch.
Here’s the link: https://www.curtmfg.com/part/16051

Have you seen it?

I’ve been hoping to see videos of folks who have been towing with it. And maybe a head ti head comparison between it and the Anderson. It must be too new because most of what’s out there is from Curt.

Looks to me that it competes more with the Pull Rite Superlite (https://pullrite.com/products/superlite)
more so than the Anderson.
The Anderson has the ball mounted to the hitch whereas the Curt and Pullrite have the ball attached to the Pin Box. just sayin'
BTW the Superlite is offered in both Rail and Gooseneck mounts.

Hitches

Hey guys,
I have recently had an experience with replacing my hitch and went down the rabbit hole, I found rv parts usa and was surprised of the selection. I wasn't sure which route to go so I contacted them and got great customer support. After taking some time to weight by options I contacted them again and the whole process was smooth. I am new to this as I know many others are and wanted to give some feedback. Below is the information on who helped me, hopefully this information will be useful to other rv'ers. They turned out to have more than just a hitch that I needed.

Service agent that helped me was Kayla
Number i called 866-290-2985
www.rvpartsusa.com

Feel free to give me any helpful rv info you can think of for a newby!

After towing with a Trailer Saver TS3 air ride hitch I will not tow a 5er with anything else. They are expensive and heavy, but a great ride.

I recently purchased the Crosswing to pull my new GD Reflection 150. I've only driven it 70 miles, but it pulls very smoothly - no chucking at all. Hitching and unhitching are straight forward and easily evident when locked into place.

Very good the hear Miller205, thanks for posting! I haven’t purchased a hitch as yet and the Crosswing is very much in the running. Hi

Hi NW Explorers, I must admit I’ve thought that myself. Then I thought “did Curt build a better mousetrap”? I’ve been looking for a head to head video but haven’t seen it yet?
