Benefits of Fifth Wheel Hitch with 4 Way Pivoting Head vs. 2 Way Head

Expert Reply:

The answer to your question will depend on what kind of surfaces your tow vehicle will be parked on when you hitch/unhitch the trailer. If you are going to find yourself pretty consistently on level, even pavement, then a fifth wheel hitch whose head pivots forward and back will work fine for you. On the other hand, if you will hitch and unhitch on uneven ground on a regular basis, you will thank yourself for going with a hitch that has the 4 way pivoting head. The pivoting head really does make getting the trailer hitched up much easier.
