What Trailer Hitch Is Needed For A 5th Wheel Triple Towing A Flatbed Trailer

Question:

What is the maximum tow weight hitch I can get to to a flatbed trailer with a few motor toys for a 5th Wheel trailer? It is legal in my state and my truck has tow capacity to tow both.

The hitch you need will depend entirely on your trailer's maximum towing capacity. You are going to need to consult your owner's manual or contract your trailer's manufacturer to find these figures.

From here you're going to need to find a hitch that can handle your trailer and fit your trailer's frame. You are also going to need to ensure that your tow vehicle has the adequate capacity to handle all the weight of the 5th wheel and flat bed, as well as a hitch that can also support the weight.

For your trailer, we do have a couple of options for you to check out:

For a hitch that adjusts to accommodate a 22" to 66" wide frame, we have the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # C13704,

or,

For a hitch adjusts to accommodate a 18" to 51" wide frame, we have the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # C13702.

I have attached a manufacturer demo video for you to check out as well. If you are also needing a hitch for your vehicle, let me know what vehicle you have, as well as the capacity needed for your triple towing needs and I'd be happy to help you find what you need.
