What are 5th Wheel Hitches?

Fifth wheel hitches are a special class of hitch that mounts over or forward of the rear axle of your truck.

The vehicle being towed has a king pin on the end of the trailer which fits into the specially designed notch on the Fifth Wheel Hitch.

What Can I Tow with a 5th Wheel Hitch?

Fifth wheel hitches are commonly used to haul RV's and livestock trailers. Fifth wheel hitches have a maximum weight capacity they can tow.

You can use a fifth wheel if your truck bed is at least 6 foot or longer. Draw-Tite recommends mounting the fifth wheel 52" from the cab of your truck to the center of the fifth wheel hitch.

5th Wheels & Shortbeds

On a short bed (less than 8 feet) pickup truck, you need to use a slider kit to slide the fifth wheel hitch backwards to clear your truck cab while making low speed turns.

A Fifth Wheel Hitch offers a number of advantages over other types of hitches including increased towing capacity, safety, maneuverability and stability.
