Which 5th wheel hitch
Welp we bought a trailer. New wolfpack 325. GVW 14K Lenght 40' My question now is, which 5th wheel slider hitch? I have the factory puck system in my Ram. Should I get a hitch for this trailer...

I tow a 14K lb 37 ft KZ Montego Bay. Loaded it is very close to 20K. I have an Airsafe Omni 20. I'm not the weight police but I would recommend stepping up from your 16K hitch to a 20K hitch. I like the Air Hitch. Much easier on the truck. I tow with a 1999 F550. I bought it years ago to carry my 11 ft cabover while towing my Rhino on a flat bed trailer.

My apologizes I missed you wanted a slider hitch.
I'm not familiar with sliders. What does the slider do for you?
Your trailer, is it 14k unloaded with 6k cargo? Or are your gross 14k with 6k over your limit? I have no intentions on being more than the legal weight of the trailer.
The slider hitch allows the trailer to be positioned away from the cab during a turn.
Thanks for the explanation on the slider. Nice thing about this Forum. You came asking the question and I ended up learning.
Trailer is just over 14K dry. I put a Rhino UTV in the garage. 20 Gallons of fuel. 120 Gallons of other liquids. :o
Truck is a F550 with towing capacity of 26K lbs.
