Yes, the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047 will work with a Reese Revolution or Sidewinder Pin Box like part # RP61450. However, in order to keep the kingpin from pivoting inside the 5th wheel hitches jaws you are also going to need to use the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge part # SWW-03.

We tend to stick with the safe side of things and just recommend using a sliding 5th wheel hitch if you don't have an 8' bed, but we have heard and seen people 5th wheel tow just fine using a non-sliding hitch on a 6-3/4' bed. We've…

You do not have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in a short bed truck. In many cases, truck beds shorter than 8 ft do not have enough clearance between the trailer and truck to execute sharp turns. This is why sliding hitches were invented. Due to…
