Question:
5th wheel rails - What hitches fit on 29” and 20 1/2” and 10”? Picture below so you know what I’m talking about.
asked by: Emmanuel
Expert Reply:
The rails you mentioned are called industry-standard, above-bed base rails, and most hitches that fit on above-bed rails will fit these. The list is massive and there are so many applications it is not especially feasible to list them all, but some popular examples are the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140 and B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255.
If you let me know the year, make, model and bed size of your truck I would be happy to recommend the best option for base rails, an install kit and a hitch.
