Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch
Information and Installation Tips:
-
The installation
instructions provide the exact location for
installing the fifth wheel trailer hitch for optimum
towing.
-
With an 8-foot-wide
fifth wheel trailer, Reese and Draw-Tite recommend a
distance of 52" from the cab of the truck to the
center of the fifth wheel hitch.
-
Because the hitch
must remain in front of the rear axle, long-bed
full-size trucks are recommended. Any truck with a
bed less than 8 feet long is considered a short bed.
If a short-bed truck will be used, it is recommended
that a Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch and an extended pin
box be used to help compensate for the reduced
turning clearance. Without the slider or pin box
extension, the trailer can strike the cab on sharp
turns. The Slider allows the vehicle to make normal
turns during low-speed maneuvering.
Fifth Wheel Hitch
Installation:
-
Installing a Fifth
Wheel Hitch without a Bed Liner
When bracket installation is performed properly,
there is no benefit to welding the installation
brackets to the frame compared with bolting the
brackets.
-
If welding is
preferred, make sure it is performed by a certified
welder.
The universal rail kit, mounts to any full-size
pickup and often requires drilling.
-
If the vehicle is a
late model Ford (1997 +), Chevrolet (1999 +), Dodge
(2002 +) or GMC (1999 +), drilling can be avoided
with Custom Installation Kits.
-
The custom rail kits
mount to existing holes in the frame, reducing
installation time by up to 50 percent. The custom
rail kits will also work with both long-bed and
short-bed trucks. Not included with the custom
installation kits are the rails that the fifth wheel
hitch sits on.
-
Fifth wheel
installation rails cannot be installed over plastic
bed liners. The liner will eventually disintegrate
resulting in a loose hitch. However, the
installation rails can be installed over a spray-in
liner.
