Question:

Im looking for a hitch receiver for my 2019 Vortex By Genesis Supreme 3619V 5th Wheel toyhauler. I would like to find something that can handle the heaviest weight possible. I plan on double towing a small SxS trailer and/or a small boat less than 5000lbs.

Expert Reply:

We highly recommend against double towing and many states either don't allow double (some states call it triple) towing or have numerous restrictions. Some states limit the total length of all 3 units, some only allow certain types of trailers behind the 5th wheel trailer, some require a special endorsement on your license to be allowed to double/triple tow. I highly recommend checking the laws for any state you plan on double/triple towing in.

To double/triple tow you'll need to ensure that your truck can tow the weight of both trailers. The safe maximum weight to tow is really 80-85% of your listed max towing weight. Your 5th wheel hitch and pin box need to be rated to handle the extra weight of the added trailer and then you'll need a hitch for your 5th wheel that's rated for the trailer you want to use.

I recommend the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 18" to 51" Wide Item # C13702 if the distance between your frame is 18" to 51".

If your trailer's frame is 22" to 66" wide I recommend the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 66" Wide Item # C13704
