i am thinking about buying a truck with the rails already installed. Are hitches universal. Can i buy a hitch and will it fit.

Buy a real truck when you buy one. Get one with a 8 foot bed.

Apparently you haven't been paying attention. It has to be a dually diesel WITH an 8' box to be a real truck.(sarcasm)

Now that we have that established. For your trailer and truck to go down the road without being in a bind. And you to have a nice ride in the truck and everything in your trailer to ride nicely. Buy you a air hitch. Like a friend told me I am not saying it is worth the money, but I like the ride.I bought my first air hitch in 2006 when I bought my first 5th wheel. It is the 25k air safe hitch with the binkley holland head. I don't know the trailer is behind me going down the road. And unless I get in a situation where I have to slam on the brakes . Everything in the trailer stays where I put it.My 5th wheel is a 2006 Carriage.
Their are other good air hitches on the market. Just buy one with the binkley holland head.My air safe hitch fit's the regular reese rails. Their not cheap but you are just buying it one time You spend a lot of money on the truck and the trailer. Why cut you self short on the hitch.
