This hitch is built to handle heavy-duty towing with a 25,000-lb gross towing weight and a 6,250-lb vertical load limit. The sturdy steel construction and carbide powder coat finish give it the strength and durability needed for long hauls with big fifth wheels. It’s the kind of solid, no-nonsense build that feels steady and dependable every time you hit the road.
The interlocking two-piece jaws wrap completely around the king pin for 360-degree contact, cutting down on rattle and movement compared to slide-bar designs. The fully articulating torsion head helps control coupling and smooths out the ride by suppressing road shock and reducing towing noise. The result is quieter, more stable towing that keeps both truck and trailer feeling planted mile after mile.
The color-coded lock indicator makes it easy to confirm when you’re coupled, ready to couple, or locked for towing. Red shows uncoupled, yellow shows ready to couple, and green shows you’re locked in. The indicators are visible from the cab or beside the bed, so you can check your connection at a glance without extra steps or guesswork.
Hooking up is straightforward thanks to the self-aligning head that guides the king pin into position. The included plastic lube plate lets the king pin glide smoothly into the jaws during coupling—no need for added grease messes. Once locked in, the single-throw handle secures easily and can be padlocked (padlock sold separately) for extra peace of mind.
When it’s time to use your truck bed again, fast one-pin head removal makes it simple for one person to lift off the top section. The hitch breaks down quickly without tools so you can clear space when you’re not towing. Height adjustment from 13" to 17" gives flexibility for different trailer setups while keeping the system easy to manage on your own.
This fifth-wheel hitch is compatible with rotating pin boxes, such as the Reese Sidewinder, Reese Revolution, and 5th Airborne Sidewinder, only when used with a wedge (sold separately).
