Fifth Wheel Hitches & Sliders

Fifth wheel hitches and sliders are for those looking to tow heavy-duty trailers, such as RVs, horse trailers, or large cargo trailers. Designed for vehicles with a truck bed, fifth wheel hitches offer a unique coupling system that provides superior stability and weight distribution compared to traditional receiver hitches. These hitches connect the trailer to the bed of the truck with a large, flat plate and kingpin, creating a more secure and balanced connection. Fifth wheel hitches are ideal for towing large and heavy loads, providing an enhanced towing experience with improved control and a smoother ride.

One of the primary benefits of fifth wheel hitches is their ability to handle much higher towing capacities than standard hitch systems. Fifth wheel hitches are available in various weight ratings, with some models capable of towing up to 30,000 pounds or more. The location of the hitch directly over the truck’s rear axle helps distribute the weight more evenly, reducing strain on the vehicle and improving towing performance, especially on uneven terrain or long-haul trips.

Fifth wheel sliders are a valuable addition for those who need more maneuverability when towing a trailer. A fifth wheel slider allows the hitch to move backward and forward within the truck bed, providing extra clearance between the truck and trailer when making tight turns or parking. This is particularly useful for short-bed trucks, where turning can be difficult without the additional clearance. With the ability to move the hitch and trailer coupling point, sliders enhance the safety and ease of towing by offering more flexibility during maneuvers. Whether you're towing an RV or equipment trailer, fifth wheel hitches and sliders are a critical component for safe, efficient, and smooth towing, especially when handling large or heavy loads.
