5th Wheel Hitch for 2005 International 4200  

Updated 01/14/2026 | Published 01/12/2026

Question:

Im wanting to put a fifth wheel hitch on a 2005 international 4200 with a 34 frame width that Im wanting to mount the hitch to. Im needing something with at least a 25,000lb rating. What would be your recommendation for a fifth wheel hitch?

Hi Maxwell Trailers; since there are no base rail kits designed for that truck it will take some custom fabrication to install rails on there. You can use the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP30035, or just the Reese Universal Base Rails # RP58058 depending on how you decide to do this. The rails will allow you to install any ISR 5th wheel hitch like the Q Hitch 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # QH34FR.

Is this for your own 5th wheel or are you planning on transporting them?

I installed the universal kit and it worked out great. I did have to drill holes in the frame to bolt it down but it was no problem at all. Easy to mark out the holes and plenty of room behind the frame to not cause any damages.
