5th Wheel FAQs
A fifth-wheel hitch is a hitch attached to rails or brackets installed in your truck over the back axle that sits inside the truck bed. Once attached to your truck’s brackets or rails, the fifth-wheel hitch couples to the kingpin on your fifth-wheel trailer. The kingpin is kept firmly in place by the hitch’s locking mechanism and safety pin.
No, 5th wheel hitches are not universal. They come in different sizes and capacities, and compatibility varies based on truck model and the trailer’s weight.
A 5th wheel hitch works by connecting a trailer’s kingpin to the hitch plate on the truck bed. The design allows for a pivot point, enabling smooth and stable towing.
Fifth-wheel hitches offer quiet, stable towing, are simple to install and hook up, and are ideal for recreational use. However, they are semi-permanent, reducing truck bed storage and making it challenging to fit larger items or slide in toolboxes. Learn more about the pros and cons of 5th wheel hitches for RVs.
