This 5th-wheel hitch has a sturdy wraparound jaw with a locking bar for added security. Pivoting head allows easy hookup and helps to limit chucking. Polyurethane bumpers provide cushion for a smooth ride. Hitch removes for full bed access.

Specs:
The single-piece, strong wraparound jaw completely surrounds your trailer's king pin for 360 degrees of contact. This wraparound jaw provides a more secure connection than standard 2-piece jaws that close in on the king pin from the sides. The increased jaw-to-king-pin contact on the UMS hitch offers tighter tolerances around the king pin, which minimizes both rattle and chucking, for a smooth, quiet ride.
A 3/4" thick solid steel locking bar spans the area in front of the jaw. This bar provides an added barrier of protection against accidental disconnection so you can have peace of mind that your trailer is secure. The locking bar is attached to the jaw and to the spring-loaded handle. The bar automatically locks when the jaw closes around your king pin.
The double pivoting, cushioned head improves your towing experience dramatically by helping to reduce jarring and unwanted noise. Built-in pins allow the hitch head to pivot back and forth and side to side. And hookup is easy because the hitch head will automatically pivot to the proper angle when it comes into contact with your pin box.
Three polyurethane dampeners help to cushion the movement from the pivoting head and to reduce towing noise. Two of these dampeners are built into the head assembly to cushion the head's side-to-side pivoting. The third dampener cushions the back-and-forth motion and must be installed in the hitch prior to use. Installation of this third dampener is easy - simply press the dampener up into the pre-drilled hole underneath the hitch head.
The UMS Series hitch is specially designed to fit a Demco UMS custom underbed mounting kit (sold separately). To assemble the hitch, all you have to do is bolt on the side plates and attach the head to the hitch base.
The side plates have 2 functions. They contain the feet that fit into the receivers in your truck bed, and they allow you to raise or lower the hitch head to better match your pin box height. After you choose your desired height setting, simply bolt the side plates to the hitch base with the included hardware. Then lower the hitch into the 4 UMS receivers in your truck bed. Turn the handles to lock the feet into the receivers and secure the handles with the included safety pins. The hitch can be removed to give you full truck bed access. Simply remove the safety pins, turn the handles to unlock the feet, and lift the hitch out of the receivers.

Thank You!
Fit perfectly and works great!
Fits perfectly, tows well. No issues after 10k miles or more.
This product is so good I purchased 4 more for my other Chevrolet Silverado's 3500s
The unit came in pieces, and was easy to assemble. There was some minor trouble in placing it into the puck holes in the bed, but it works great and is easy to hook up and un-hook.
Haven’t towed anything yet waiting on new trailer. Ordering and service was the best!!! Followed through right to delivery.
Another excellent product from etrailer. Already used it once and it worked great. Wouldn't go anywhere else for my towing needs.
The itself is high quality and very nice design. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that it is difficult to take in and out of the pucks in the bed. I have to use a pry bar to get it out and a sod faced mallet to install it. Dem I advised me to use washers to get it to fit better, 1 washer ( the current set up) isn’t quite enough but 2 washers made it too large
My goodness, service was so good! Knowledgable person answered the phone and guided me to a product that worked for me. Shipping was 2 days! Fantastic experience! Thanks a ton!
