Product Description
The Husky 31667KIT is a 16K W Series sliding fifth wheel hitch built around Husky's 10-to-16 Glider, rated for 16,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 4,000 lbs pin weight. The glider lets the hitch head slide rearward on a square tube slider so the trailer's king pin moves away from the cab, giving a short-bed truck the clearance it needs for tight turns such as backing into a campsite. The kit installs on standard fifth wheel base rails.
The fully articulating head moves with the trailer rather than the truck for a smoother ride on rough roads, and the jaw moves with the head. Husky's patented wrap-around jaw is designed to keep the jaw from "walking," the self-locking handle closes automatically during hookup, and a pop-out indicator shows when the hitch is properly locked. Base rails and a vehicle-specific bracket kit are required and sold separately.
Compatibility

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.
