Pro tipChoosing a fifth wheel hitch

  • Know your truck’s prep. Ford, Ram and GM factory puck systems use different mounts than universal rails.
  • Rate it for the trailer’s GVWR, not its empty weight, and make sure pin weight fits your truck’s payload.
  • Short-bed truck? You may need a slider hitch or offset pin box for turning clearance.

Product Description

Keep your fifth wheel hitch working like new. Genuine replacement parts deliver an exact fit and factory-quality strength, with no guesswork.

Recon is the newest addition to the Premier Series 5th wheel hitches in the Hijacker family. The Recon is built with the same quality and durability as the other Premier Series hitches. The Recon is a lighter weight geometric design that fits industry standard bed rails. The lighter weight design allows you to easily separate the hitch into two pieces making installation and removal quick and easy. Because the Recon utilizes a standard 5th wheel head design, no adapter plates or pin box modifications are needed.
