Need Help! Hitch Recommendation - Bumper Pull
Facts I have to work with:
Truck: 2018 Chevy 2500 HD 6.0L 4:10 rear CCC 3300 lbs.
Trailer: 2017 FR Sonoma 280RKS GVWR ~ 9000 ibs.
Neither has been weighed
9000 ^ 0.15 = 1350
Class V Hitch with 2.5" tube being installed today
Requirements
My petite wife has to hitch/unhitch/drive (I have medical issues)
Have to be able to back up without unhitching or unhooking bars
Hitches Considered
Current Hitch is Husky Centerline w/1200 ib. bars. My wife has trouble handling the bars, es[ecially jacking them in an out. Requires much use of trailer's jack (battery drain)
Andersen Hitch is, on paper, most desirable because of light weight. Areas of concern are 1400 lb. limit and potential difficulties inserting pin in triangle plate during hook up as well as weight distribution capabilities.
Blue OX Swaypro presents the possibility of injury from a tensioned chain as well as requiring muscle at my wife's limits. Heavy bars are not helpful
Propride presents a need to muscle the clamps in as well a fussy, tight back in of the "stinger", seemingly imprecise weight distribution reset.
