Fifth wheel hitch for the truck

[Tom Gina 06]

I have been shopping for a heavier hitch for my new truck. Has anyone heard of this company and used or known someone that uses one of these hitches? Like some feedback seems like I can get the 20k for a pretty good price. Take a look at the link can get it for around 650-700 shipped to my door.

Tom thanks for this link. I am looking at purchasing a new fifth wheel and this helps tremendously!

Here is what I use. The turnover ball allows for a clean bed when not towing. Or...you can put the ball up and tow a gooseneck trailer. Or...you can take out the ball, drop in the Companion post, put the companion hitch in and tow up to 18,500 lbs. Or...you can still use the Class III/IV Receiver behind the truck. Your choice.

I bought one of their receiver type hitches for an 02 Wrangler I had. It was one of the few things I have ever bought that was supposed to be a custom fit that actually fit. Quality was great, price was good and included shipping.

I saw that hitch last week at our local RV show. The sale rep was extremely helpfull and as he explained the workings of it, we actually took it apart. Was impressed enough that I am having one install on Tuesday.

for short bed truck's heres a good option ! the Curt you are looking at close up in actio !

Here it is ! Links to my Curt Q5 20K hitch and slider. 3 U-tube video's included as well. I think for my 1'st 5er that I made a good choice for the value/ride quality and price. and it looks good to, better than say the reese. is easy to take apart. Has easy to read indicators to let you know what stage of coupling you are in and when you are firmly locked. I am new at this but think it's a good product. The guy I had install it worked for Boeing for 20+ years doing R&D machining and said the slider rail system is top of the line in his opinion.

u tube viedos in 3 parts so you can take a look at it

I SAW ON A BULLITAN THAT SOME OF THE NEW 5'THAIRBORNE "SIDEWINDER SERIES" THE ONE THAT ROTATES AT THE PIN BOX INSTEAD OF USING A SLIDER WILL NOT WORK ON THE CURT 20K HEAD !!!!!!!!! IF YOU PLAN ON GETTING A CURT 20K HEAD AND ARE WANTING TO USE ONE OF THE "SIDEWINDER" STYLE PIN BOXES LOOK INTO IT A BIT TO SEE OF THE COMBO WILL WORK OR NOT ! I THINK ITS BECAUSE THE 20K HEAD HAS SO MUCH ROTATION MOVEMENT?
