• Recommended Demco Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2013 Toyota Tundra With 5-1/2-Ft Truck Bed
• I just called my contact at Demco and if your fifth wheel trailer weighs 13,000-lbs or less, we have a fifth wheel setup that will work for you. You would need part # DM8550040. This is the Demco Autoslide and it has 22-1/2 inches of travel, which will work great for 5-1/2 and 6-ft truck beds. The Hijacker SL Series fifth wheel like part # DM6076SL-16K, does not give you enough travel with a 5-1/2 ft truck bed. The DM6076SL-16K has 8-inches of travel. The above-bed rails and under-bed...

• Is B&W Patriot Slider Compatible With Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate
• The B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 is not compatible with the Curt # C16220 or any other adapter. Using the Patriot will require installation of the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2506. However, this would require removal of your existing gooseneck hitch. The adapter has quite a few restrictions which are as follows: -Will not work with fifth-wheel hitches or pin boxes that rotate. -Will not work with auto-slide fifth-wheel hitches. -Will not...

• Towing a Trailer Rated for 15,500 Pounds with A 15,000 Pound Rated Hitch
• Congratulations on the purchase of a new RV. For safety reasons, I can not recommend the setup that you are suggesting. Even though your, # 30046, hitch is rated to tow 15,000 pounds, the potential to overload the hitch exists. I would recommend upgrading your 15k hitch to at least a 16k model. There are two models that you can use to upgrade your existing hardware to either 16,000 pounds or 20,000 pounds. The Replacement 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch Head, item # RP30047A, would use your existing...

• Could Turnoverball Gooseneck Style B and W Companion Hitch be Converted fit OEM Pucks 2018 Chevy Sil
• Yes Randall you can use the head of your current B and W Companion hitch with a different base that fits your OEM pucks directly. For that you'd need the part # BWRVB3705 which would basically give you the # BWRVK3705 which is the complete hitch for your truck. One thing to consider is that it would be a lot easier to sell your old hitch as a complete unit than just the base. It might make the most sense to sell the old hitch secondhand as a complete hitch to offset the cost of the new...

• Availability Of Replacement Head Unit For A Discontinued Reese Elite RE18 Fifth Wheel Hitch
• Hello Stephanie, unfortunately the Reese Elite RE18 has been discontinued. The replacement head unit # 58292 has also been discontinued and is no longer available. We sold our last one back in 2021. Since replacement parts are not available, I am afraid that at this point we would have to recommend replacing the hitch entirely. Reese now makes the M5 Fifth Wheel Hitch like part # RP30928, which is rated for 20,000 lbs and will fit in the industry standard fifth wheel rails.

• How To Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer w/ a 2020 Ram 2500 w/ Factory Puck System and a RamBox
• I have a solution for you but in order to tow a fifth wheel trailer using your 2020 Ram 2500 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed, OEM Prep Pkg, and RamBox you will need to use a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder which will be specific to the trailer. There isn't enough clearance with the Rambox's so you will need to have the rotating point be higher up at the pin box. If your trailer uses a Lippert 1716 then the correct Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret is item # RP77FR....

• Comparing Curt Q24, Curt Q25 and Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ford F-350 With Factory Pucks
• Realistically the Curt Q25 # C16039 fifth wheel hitches are no different and will give the same performance. Both of these hitches will fit into the puck system of your 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty and have a 24,000 lb capacity. The head unit of the Q25 is rated for 25,000 lbs but the legs are rated for 24,000 lbs and the capacity needs to go by the lowest-rated component. The Curt Q25 # C16039 is a solid wheel hitch and will do its job, but the better option is the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer...

• What Is The Recommended Bed Rail Clearance When Towing A Fifth Wheel?
• Hey Jim, congrats on the new truck and fifth wheel - looks great. Our rule of thumb is that you want a minimum of 6" of clearance between the top of the bed rails and the bottom of the trailer loft. You should be just fine to use the bottom hole on your Curt CrossWing # C32DR to gain the additional 2" of clearance for your jacks. Even after doing this, you will be left with 7.5" of bed rail clearance so there will be no danger of the trailer contacting the bed. We do want to try to keep...
