Best 5th Wheel Hitch Option for 2017 Nissan Titan XD Short Bed with Factory Prep Package

Question:

I have a 2017 Nissan Titan XD king cab pro x4 with the Cummins engine. It came with the factory puck system. I’m wanting to put a 5th wheel hitch in it do that I can haul a holiday rambler 30’ camper. What is my best option to offset the trailer enough to keep it out of my cab since it a short wheel based truck?

The best fifth wheel trailer hitch option for a 2017 Nissan Titan XD short bed with factory prep package is one that slides as this feature will be needed in order to avoid contact between the trailer loft and vehicle cab. The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550034 is what I highly recommend as the sliding feature engages automatically so you won't have to get out of the truck to engage the slider each time you need to make a tight turn. In order to use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide you'll also need the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Nissan Titan XD OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package part # DM6200.
