So light a child can remove it from the truck
Check out This Video From Andersen on their new Aluminum Ultimate Fifth Wheel hitch... No this isn't the 9 minute version with a lot of bad acting. Just the good stuff. Game Changer? I don't ...

Sort of off topic..so just a comment on the safety chains issue. If you look at the Andersen website for their safety chains option kit made for the Ultimate 5th, you'll see that what they do is replace the two bolts that secure the king pin adapter to the king pin. Instead of flat head bolts with a nut, they include new bolts that have a loop on the end. With these inserted, those two loops are now available to click in the chains.
I preferred to use rubber coated steel cables instead of chains. Andersen will sell just the loop bolts without the chains. I purchased a pair of Curt cables that have a 15K break minimum and a couple of D-shackles. The D-shackles are attached to the bed's chain loops and the hook end of the cables slip onto the Andersen king pin adapter. I have a extra light 5er. If you have something heavier, the Andersen chains are the way to go.
