  • 5th Wheel Lifting Device for a Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch
  • I do have an option for you, but the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device for Companion and Patriot Hitches # BWRVXA3130 is designed to be used with the B&W Companion and Patriot 5th wheel hitches and has a more unique design.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For A 20225 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  • Your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 already has the standard trailering package, so it comes with a 2-1/2" trailer hitch, a 4-pin, and a 7-pin wiring harness. All that is left is the 5th wheel hitch. We will have a couple of options for your 5th wheel hitch, but I am partial to the B&W options. There build quality is second to none and it is readily evident when you use the slide for their 5th wheel hitches. They have the smoothest operating slide. I recommend the following B&W 5th wheel...

  • Will Any Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Work With Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball
  • Good question, and there are some limitations to the exact sliding 5th wheel hitch you can use with your Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck # 16310. It is NOT compatible with any auto-slide 5th wheel hitches, Husky 10-26K or 10-16K fifth-wheel sliding hitches, or B&W Patriot sliding hitches. Since you have the Turnoverball, you have a couple of options, one of which is sell the X5 and get the sliding B&W Companion, which has a 20,000 lb capacity fits...

  • Top 3 5th Wheel Hitches For A 2017 Ford F-350 With Factory Prep Package
  • I have the perfect 5th wheel hitch options for you that will work with your 2017 Ford F-350 long bed with factory rail kit. I recommend choosing a 5th wheel hitch that exceeds your current weight capacity as this will create less strain on the actual 5th wheel hitch itself. A good hitch to use on your vehicle is the Demco Hijacker UMS Double Pivot 5th Wheel Hitch part # DM8550033. The Demco hitch offers a 360 degree contact point with the king pin and locking jaws of the 5th wheel hitch...

  • The best 5th wheel hitch cover that we have for your Husky 16K-S Silver Series 5th wheel hitch with 16k roller is the Classic Accessories Cover for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # CA80116.

While the Classic Accessories Cover for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # CA80116 will not completely cover both the 5th wheel hitch and the roller, it will cover the most important areas of the hitch and roller assembly.

  • Can a Standard 5th Wheel Hitch be Used in a Ford Truck with 5th Wheel Prep Kit
  • The Ford 5th wheel prep kit is designed to be used with the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, like part # RP30921. You can install an above bed fifth-wheel hitch that fits into standard above bed rails, like part # RP30928, in the Ford 5th wheel prep kit, with the addition of an adapter, # RP30156. Most standard fifth-wheel hitches will work in this adapter, as long as the tab spacing on the fifth-wheel legs is 20-5/8 inches or 29 inches on center, see photo link.

  • Recommendation on a Sidewinder Pin Box to Replace a Lippert 1621 Pin Box
  • For your Cougar 5th wheel trailer with a Lippert 1621 pin box rated at 15-1/2K, I recommend the Sidewinder 5th Wheel Pin Box 16K # RP34FR.

The Sidewinder has a 16K pound weight capacity and will provide an extra 22 inches of clearance by moving the pivot point back under the trailer. You will also need a traditional 5th wheel hitch installed in your 2010 Ford F-150. I recommend installing the hitch with the Quick-Install...

  • How To Use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Part # C16115 with Ford Factory Pucks
  • I do have an option for you but the Husky Ford OEM 5th Wheel Adapter 33006 will not work with the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 according to Husky. If you already have the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch then you can swap out the base for the Curt OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch Legs for Ford Super Duty Towing Prep Package part # C16017 but otherwise you would just need to use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package part # C16515-16017.

  • Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Compatibility with Ford OEM Gooseneck Hitch
  • For your Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch # AM3200 you will need rails unless you get the full 5th wheel puck system. The OEM gooseneck hitch is not compatible with any adapter. If you get the 5th wheel prep puck system then you can use the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter for Standard 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # RP30156 or the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ford OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 25,000 lbs # DM6175.

  • Will the Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Adapter RP30156 be Compatible with 12 yr old 5th Wheel Hitch
  • The Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter for Standard 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30156 allows 5th wheel hitches that fit in standard base rails to be compatible with the factory puck system you have in your 2012 Ford F-250 or F-350 Super Duty Pickup. Since the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider # RP30051 fits standard 5th wheel base rails these two items will be compatible even if your 5th wheel hitch was made in 2005.

  • What 5th Wheel Hitch Do I Need For My 2022 Ram Big Horn
  • I do have a solution for you, but there are quite a few variables. Your 2022 Ram Bighorn is available in all three sizes, 1500, 2500, and 3,500. I am not sure if you have the 5th wheel Load & Towing Groups package or if you have the Ram 1500, so I will recommend two 5th wheel hitches. One that will be compatible with a 5th wheel tow package and one that will not be compatible with that setup. If you have the 2500 or 3500 Big Horn with the 5th wheel tow package, I recommend the following: B&W...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Will Not Line Up With Adapter for B&W Gooseneck
  • I do have an option for you but I am not sure that you have a B&W 5th Wheel Hitch as they only offer one mounting option for industry standard rails, the B&W Patriot which is not that old and this would have no problem installing onto either the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # 16310 or the Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches part # DM6140 if done so correctly. I think the hitch you have does not use industry standard mounting holes if...

  • 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter for a 1996 Dodge Ram Pickup with Trailair 5th Wheel Pin Box
  • The only way to haul a 5th wheel trailer with the gooseneck hitch on your 1996 Dodge Ram would be to install a Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter. None of our 5th wheel to gooseneck adapters like the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5G are compatible with pin boxes that have airbags like your Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box. In order to see if we have the correct Reese Goose Box for you I would need to know the model number...

  • How To Use a Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch On a Chevy/GMC with Pucks
  • I do have an option for you but you cannot use the Curt OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Legs part # C16025 with the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047. They also do not make any legs for the Reese 16k 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch that will work with the GM Factory 5th Wheel Prep Package so best option is to just use an adapter, the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package part # RP49FR.
