Fifth wheel option

[jt metal]

First....I have zero affiliation with said product period and gain absolutely nothing but to help others. 

 

Andersen aluminum pin hitch in conjunction with BW hidden hitch is the only way to go. 

 

Weights appx. 35lbs. And easily removed from truck to gain full access to your bed. 

 

Used it to pull appx 12,500lbs @ appx 2500lbs of pin weight. For 1400miles. 

 

After this trip and watching big bumper pulls swaying down the road. It's not even funny.

Something that leaves the bed clean for full use is the only way to go.  Blue Ox has a similar type of deal with their Super Ride 5th wheel setup which is a complete 5th wheel platform that uses the goose neck ball in the bed.

Will be fifth wheel shopping this spring. Definitely will be looking at these. Thanks for the heads up.

I used to sell this hitch and it was a big hit with the oil field and large fifth wheel trailers. Also super light and easy to remove.

Very nice looking setup!  When I first saw this picture I couldn't imagine such a big trailer on a single axle!  ;-)

Same back to you!  (The first glance I was referring to is the light post base blocking the forward trailer wheels.  It gives the appearance of a single axle)

Pic took me by surprise, myself. And it's my trailer. I swear I thought I lost the damn thing. Haha
