Overview

A pickup bed fitted with industry-standard fifth wheel rails is where this hitch drops in, with no welding or fabricating needed. A cast yoke head tilts in several directions, and a self-resetting handle returns the jaws to ready-to-couple.

Tilt in more than one direction and a coupling indicator help with smooth hookups on uneven ground. The limitation is the package, since the kit includes only the head and legs, and the pull force row shows the vertical load, not the full rating.

Who it's for

Pickup owners towing large fifth wheel RVs who already have rails or plan to buy them. Anyone who wants rails, brackets and head in one box will need to add parts.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Head tilts in several directions
  • Three-position coupling indicator
  • One-pin head removal breaks it into smaller pieces
  • Tested to SAE standards
Cons
  • Rails and brackets not included
  • Heavy even in pieces
  • Spec row shows vertical load as pull force

Performance notes

The cast yoke lets the head tilt forward, backward and sideways, which reduces binding as the trailer moves over uneven ground. The central pin comes out so the head separates from the legs for lifting.
