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.

Not sure what fits? Send us your vehicle — we’ll confirm before you order.
