Expert Reply:
According to the manufacturer, the Reese 22k hitch # RP30033 offers six inches of side-to-side pivot, so it's comparable to several of the 20k options. These offer a slightly higher pivot degree than the 16k models, most of which offer 5 degrees.
If you don't need the extra weight capacity, you'll get the same amount of pivot with a hitch like the 20k Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw, # RP30928. The 22k hitch # RP30033 is a good choice if you do require the extra weight capacity.
