How much should I expect to pay for a 5th wheel hitch?

I'm actually thinking of maybe buying a new 5th wheel trailer or one just a couple years old.

Be very careful to pay close attention to the payload capacity of your truck. For most cases that is the limiting factor not the towing capability. The pin weight will be roughly 20 percent of the fifth wheel's weight, then you have to add the hitch weight (and rails) and the weight of every single thing carried in the truck. Cargo, passengers, pets ect.
