Removing 5th wheel Hitch from pick up bed
Any good ideas on how to easily pull the hitch out of the truck bed so I can use truck for other activity? I need to temporarily remove my Reese 16K tube slider. I know to release it from the rails...

Mine is hanging on the king pin. Surely the few pounds it weighs compared to the 1800 pin weight will not damage the fifth wheel. :h
I use the landing gear to raise it out of the bed rails.
X2 I do this often when I need the bed room.

Pull the pins and let your trailer do the heavy lifting. Just be sure to lock the release mechanism so it can't be tampered with while the hitch is hanging.
