This hitch is rated for up to 25,000 lbs gross towing weight and 6,250 lbs vertical load limit, giving it the strength to handle serious fifth-wheel trailers. The sturdy steel construction and carbide powder coat finish keep it solid and durable through years of towing heavy rigs. It’s a heavy-duty build that stays steady and reliable under load, so every mile feels secure and controlled.
The interlocking 2-jaw system wraps completely around the trailer’s king pin to create 360-degree jaw-to-pin contact. That tight fit cuts down on rattle and movement you’d get from slide-bar hitches, leading to a smoother, quieter tow that feels more connected. It’s an easy way to keep things calm in the cab and protect your trailer from the jarring motion of uneven roads.


You can see exactly what’s happening with the jaws before you pull out. The color-coded lock indicator shows red for uncoupled, yellow for ready to couple, and green for locked and ready to tow. You can check it right from the cab or at the hitch itself without guessing. The handle locks with a padlock (sold separately) and automatically resets after uncoupling so it’s always ready for the next hookup.
The fully articulating torsion head self-aligns during hookup and helps absorb road shock once you’re on the move. That flexibility makes hitching up simpler and keeps the ride stable when turning or driving over rough stretches. It also suppresses towing noise so long hauls feel smooth instead of choppy.
When it’s time to clear your truck bed, this hitch comes apart quickly. A single pin releases the head so one person can remove it without tools. Built-in zerk fittings make lubrication simple, and the included plastic lube plate helps the king pin glide smoothly into the jaws during hookup. It’s a practical design that makes towing days easier from start to finish.
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).
