The Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King Pin, part # ST500-SW01, is not specifically matched to vehicles, it is matched to the fifth-wheel trailer king pin. However, I spoke with the manufacturer of Sidewinder products and with your 5-1/2 foot bed, you must use a Sidewinder king pin extension. Otherwise, you will not have sufficient clearance while towing. To find the correct sidewinder for your application, you will need to know the model number of your fifth wheel trailer king pin, and use the reference table on our Sidewinder page see link to match the your pin box to the correct Sidewinder turret.
