Is Wedge Required When Using Reese Revolution Pin Box With Husky Fifth Wheel Hitch
Question:
Ihave a GMC 2003 sierra 3/4 ton pickup and Have a Husky 15K hitch in truck and have a reese revolution hitch on the 5th wheel. Can I use the wedge that came with the reese revolution hitch and if so what does the wedge do and if you dont use it will there be a problem or what will it do not using it cause

Expert Reply:
You will definitely want to use a wedge when towing because the wedge locks the king pin in place and moves the pivot point back 22 inches allowing you to make turns with the fifth wheel.
If your Husky 15K hitch in the truck has dual jaws, the universal wedge that came with the Revolution should work for you. If you cannot lock the jaw on your fifth wheel hitch with the universal wedge that came with your Revolution, my contact at Reese said the wedge that will work is part # SWW-04.
If you have a sliding jaw on the hitch in your truck you may run into interference with the wedge and would then need the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge, part # SWW-07.
