luv the way it looks when the king pin goes into the hitch>

@SuperDutyFan1992 Your truck can tow 20,000 lbs. but your class IV hitch can only tow up to 10,000 lbs. The 5th wheel allows you to pull the full 20,000 your truck can handle.

after you got the trailer you still need to get in and out of tight spaces. for that you need a side shifter. just check out the video on youtube under side shifter or visit it on line at sideshifteronline. com

Looks and sounds so much easier if a semi is used to tow a 5th wheel..

Good, especially with a ford

Yes,
the fifth wheel sits in the bed actually anyways. While the gooseneck is just simply your conventional trailering hook up. BOAT, Living In Trailer (Some)

I read that a fifth wheel can increase tow/haul weight rating but, the only problem I am having is that how is that true. Because all I am saying is that if the owner manual says you can only pull 20,000 pounds than you can only tow 20,000 pounds. Besides wont the fifth wheel just put more weight in the bed. But hey what do I know.Super Duty Number One!

@OWNmeansPWN They make flip hitches that can do both.

hey can u install a fifth wheel if there is already a goose neck?

I witnessed a guy not do a tug test a couple months ago, and he didn't have his jaws latched....it was NOT pretty, especially since it was a brand new truck and trailer, he told me he bought them both a week prior and had never towed before, let alone a fifth wheel.

They missed an important step. After hitching is complete, you need to do a tug test with the landing gear just off the ground. This way you are sure to have the hitch locked.

At the 2 min mark on this flim, I wouldn't pull the lock on the hitch. It is made so when you back into the hitch it will lock by it's self.
