Fifth Wheel for -2007 Nissan Titan

Question:

We are looking at purchasing a 2007 Nissan Titan Crew Cab vs. Nissan Titan King Cab. We are using the truck to pull a yet to be purchased 24 - 26 foot fifth wheel camper. Can you tell me if we are going to need a special set up if we purchase a crew cab with a 5.5 ft. bed or do we need something for the 6.5 king cab bed. We are new to pulling a fifth wheel and need some information.

If you are going to pull a fifth wheel trailer, you will need to have at least a 6-1/2 foot bed, so I would choose the 2007 Titan with the King Cab and 6-1/2 foot bed. To install a fifth wheel in your truck bed, you will need an install kit.

Install kits include a set of brackets that attach to the truck frame and a set of rails that bolt through the bed to the brackets. This provides the mounting system for the fifth wheel. The proper install kit for 2007 Titan with a 6-1/2 foot bed is part # V55000R from Valley. It includes all the hardware needed set the truck up for a fifth wheel.

As far as a fifth wheel, you will need a Slider unit with your hitch due to the 6-1/2 foot bed length. A slider provides extra turn clearance what maneuvering in tight spots. I have added a link to a page with all the slider fifth wheels you could use below.
