Installation
Detailed installation instructions are provided by manufacturers for all types and models of fifth wheel hitches. These instructions will assist you in how and where to install the hitch for the best towing capacity and overall safety. If you have a short bed pickup truck, you may need to install a slider as well. Sliders allow safe turns with ample clearance.
After installing your trailer hitch, you'll need to provide continual maintenance to ensure your hitch performs properly and safely. It is imperative that you check to make sure all nuts and bolts are correctly secured each and every time you tow. Frequently lubricating the moving parts will help keep the hitch in great condition.
Never tow without doing some calculation and research. Fifth wheel hitches are available in a huge range of styles and several different towing capacities. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual and/or a local trailer retail specialist to select the right hitch for your towing needs. The U.S. Department of Transportation website is an additional resource for towing information.
