We are looking to buy our first Fifth Wheel trailer. I have an F350 4x4 long bed dually. The truck has the wiring into the bed and a brake control in the cab. There are actually a large 7 pin and a round 5 pin connector in the bed. Don't know if Fifth wheels need both.
But want buy a good hitch. We are looking at something about 36 foot. I hear you want an articulating hitch but what capacity would you recommend? What advice could you share?
Any advice or help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
As an avowed B&W "fanboy", I will recommend any of the appropriate B&W Companion hitches. Excellent products with an even better company to stand behind them. Their Patriot hitches fit on a set of universal rails and comes in 16k and 18k sizes. If you want to go whole hog and have a clean bed when the hitch is removed, you can install the Turnover Ball Gooseneck base with a Companion FW hitch. 20k trailer with 5k pin weight.
