Updated 08/05/2021 | Published 08/04/2021
Question:
Can I use a fixed 5th wheel hitch with the truck identified in Subject? The pin box on the trailer we are buying is a Travel Air Turning Point. Trailer is a Forest River Rockwood Signature 8298KS. Are there any clearance or turning ratio issues?

Expert Reply:
Since the pin box of your Forest River Rockwood Signature 8298KS is one that was designed for short bed turning clearance you could use a fixed hitch in the bed of your 2021 Silverado 2500, 6.5 short bed that has OEM puck system like the B and W # BWRVK3710 that you referenced.
