Fifth wheels are the perfect RV for an elevated, comfortable, and stable road or camping trip, but only if you have the right hitch to tow them. We here at C&R Auto & Trailer Sales want to ensure you have everything you need for your perfect trip, so we’ve put together a brief guide to buying the right hitch for a fifth wheel, below. To learn more, or to see the fifth wheels and fifth wheel accessories we have for sale, contact our store in Tremonton, Utah, today!
Two-Way Pivot Heads
The most standard fifth wheel hitch is a two-way pivot head that can pivot backwards and forwards. This allows the truck to take a slope before the fifth wheel has to, reducing strain on the hitch.
Four-Way Pivot Heads
The upgraded version can tilt side-to-side as well as back-and-forth, which can provide a smoother ride on bumpy roads and inclines.
Universal and Custom Rail Hitches
Universal rail hitches are compatible with all trailers so you won’t need to drill holes in your truck, but you won’t get the added stability the overlap normally provides. Custom rail hitches provide the same pros and cons, but you can personalize them.
Single and Double Jaw Hitches
Jaw hitches have a grab jaw which is easy to connect and understand from the start. Double jaw hitches provide twice the holding power of a single jaw hitch.
