Honestly, your gonna be hard pressed to find much anybody that has a draw tight. I sold trailer parts for years and offered these and B&W and never sold a single draw tight.

If you do a search, unless something has changed in the last couple years, Draw tight, Hidden Hitch and Rigid Hitch are all made by the same company.

If you liked the B&W why wouldn't you just get that then? Just askin. I've only had B&W for flipover style hitches because of the reputation of their product and the fact it's all made in USA by regular folks like me. If it ain't broke I ain't fixin it.

From my experience the B&W is heavier duty. I trust it more that the draw tite.

I have a draw tite. that came with my truck. I with I had the BW. Im Ball comes out. It does not flip, so I have to put it in a cup and bag it under my back seat. I hate that I have to to that with the grease in the cab of my truck. I was going to switch it out but the type I have has a 8" round hole a ^ bolts that go in the bed. also the bed liner had a 10"x10" cut out on it . I HATE THE DRAW-TITE

I had a buddy with the same problem. He picked up a new bed at a junk yard for $200. I was the wrong color but who can argue with the price. Also from what I understand the bed is the same from 03-09.
