Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for 2013 Nissan Titan Towing Trailer w Reese Revolution Pin Box
Question:
Your answer to my question can reese revolution sold on the rockwood fifth wheel work with a standard hitch on a 5and onehalf ft 2013 Titan. You said that it could Since then I called and talked with others sales and tech help who are either unsure or disagree. This leaves me unsure as what to think. I was told that I need a superglide a pullright slider with the revolution that I needed to remove the revolution pin box and use a slider. The one tech that I talked with said he worked on a toyota tundra with a slider That the owner said worked with about 2inches of clearance. He although had not installed this unit and had no personal knowledge. So I guess thats grounds for confusion Before I purchase this fifth wheel I need to be certain about the safety aspects and have no doubt about application. The dealer Im buying from says I need a pullright slider. For 3500 dollars more. Others say that two movable points is a conflict. so I need some positive help with hopefully tech history. I would appreciate your comments

Yes, that is the beautiful thing about the Reese Revolution and Sidewinder pin boxes is that they can work on beds as short as your 5-1/2 foot bed.
Like you mentioned, you will need a stationary hitch since there would be no need for a slider hitch. For that I would recommend the Reese 16k fifth wheel hitch part # RP30047. This has an excellent jaw system that provides great king pin contact and works well with Revolution pin boxes. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
For an install kit you would want the semi-custom install kit part # RP30035-405. I attached installation instructions to the right for this kit as well.
I also attached an FAQ on Sidewinder/Revolution pin boxes for you to check out as well.
