Don't agree that a Trailer Saver is overkill for a 29 ft. fifth wheel. Sometimes a short fifth wheel chucks worse than a long heavy one. Case in point - me. One ton dually with 31' fifth wheel and B&W Patriot hitch made for a terrible tow. Trailer Saver TS3 to the rescue and now a very comfortable tow. In terms of strength and capacities any hitch will do the job. Some hitches just do more such as protect both the truck and trailer, improve braking performance, and protect computers and electronics from all the jarring forces that a fifth wheel creates.
If you want to connect your kingpin solidly to your truck then there are many choices. As far as ease of use I would rate the Trailer Saver as low because it is heavy and slow to hook up due to the air suspension. If cost is not a consideration then you will never regret getting a Trailer Saver.
