You have a real truck (8foot bed), so buy a real hitch. You only have to buy it once. Their is only two hitches to buy. My first choice (which is the one I have) a Air Safe 25k air hitch with the Brinkley Holland head, second choice is the Hensley air hitch with the Brinkley Holland head. They don't give them away, but you get what you pay for. I bought my first 5th wheel and hitch in 2006. I had a friend that had a 5th wheel for years with the regular reese hitch. But in January that year he bought the 25k air safe hitch. His exact words to me were: I am not saying it's worth the money , but I like the ride. He pulls his center console boat behind his fifth wheel to the lake. He said he forgot and left his soap bottle on the kitchen counter once and when he got home from the lake it was still sitting their. That is all I needed to know. I did ask him why he got the 25k hitch when the 15k would have worked. He said he wanted the Binkley Holland Head and it was now offered on the 15k. I bought the 25k air safe hitch and on the first trip the wife said as we were going down the road. You don't even know the 5th wheel is back their. Plus nothing moved in the 5th wheel , no dishes or even anything behind the axles of the trailer. And that is the roughest riding. The 5th wheel rides smooth and the truck rides smooth. Neither the truck or 5th wheel is being jerked around. I know I have said a lot. But look at it this way. You have spent a lot of money on your truck . And you are going to spend a lot of money on your 5th wheel. So why should you not go first class with the hitch.
