What is the Difference Between the B&W RVK3300 vs RVK3305
Question:
Hi-I currently have an RVK 3300 and am considering buying a 3305 but they look exactly the same! The photograph on the manufacturer site is actually the same photo, with 25kinch photoshopped onto it. Can you please confirm there is really a difference between these two units? If so can you please tell what that difference is?

Expert Reply:
I can confirm for you that there is a difference between the # BWRVK3300 and the # BWRVK3305 with the construction of the base of the hitch, which is where you get the difference in capacities between the two hitches. The 3300 is only rated for 20,000-lbs where the 3305 is rated to pull 25,000-lbs. They do look the same, but the difference will be in the construction and stiffness of the base on the two hitches.
Both of these hitches are designed to fit in the factory pucks on Ford trucks, like the ones found on your 2018 F-450.
