Towing with a Freightliner Sportchassis
We have sold our Dodge 3500 and purchased a Freightliner M2 106 SC. The bed on the truck is set up for a goose neck and is going to need some modification for our 5th wheel.
My question is...... Do I need an air hitch such as the Trailer Saver TS3?? or Would the Fifth Airborne air pin box do the same thing?
The pin box change would be about $2k cheaper.... but would require lowering our hitch at least 6 inches. The TS3 would require lowering the hitch mounting but only about 2 inches.
Of course my concern is the extra stress this truck would be putting on the trailer.... I have heard and read both schools on this and would like some input....Especially from someone that may have tried both ways.
Thank you for any assistance.
