Is King Pin Centered Between Rails Using Pro Series Slider Hitch on 2017 Nissan Titan 6-1/2' Bed

Question:

I am just wondering if the king pin is centered on the hitch assembly between both rails? To me it looks to be more forward than a non sliding hitch. If so what is the distance from front rail closest to cab to the center of the king pin while in the tow position

With a Pro Series 5th wheel slider hitch mounted in above the bed rails on your 2017 Nissan Titan 6-1/2 foot bed the center of the king pin will actually be a little forward of the center point between the two rails (when in the towing position). Take a look at the picture I have included showing Pro Series 20K slider, # PS30121, mounted in the rails.

For an installation kit I recommend Curt kit # C16470-204. This is a custom kit so the amount of drilling is minimal. I also recommend adding an in-bed 7-Way trailer connector using # C56000 so hooking up the trailer is easier without the need of an extension.
