	Short Bed Truck?

If you have a short bed truck you have two options:

Install a King Pin Extender on your trailer

Install a Slider Hitch.

If a short bed truck is going to be used, an extended pin box or a slider Eliminator, is recommended to help compensate for the reduced turning clearance. Without the slider or pin box extension the trailer can strike the cab on sharp turns. The Slider allows the vehicle to make normal turns during low speed maneuvering more comfortable. The extended pin box (minimum 13") creates even more space between the truck cab and the trailer.

	Universal King Pin Extension

Why be a test pilot when there is a proven solution?

Short bed trucks add to all this transference, we still reduce it at the source of the problem with an extended king pin from your trailer dealer/manufacturer, or our slider eliminator that fits in standard installed rails. We absorb a large percentage of this increased Omni-directionally forces.

The installation instructions give the exact location of where to install the fifth wheel trailer hitch for optimal towing. With an eight foot wide fifth wheel trailer, Reese and Draw-Tite recommend a distance of 52" from the cab of the truck to the center of the fifth wheel hitch. Because the hitch must remain in front of the rear axle, long bed full size trucks are recommended. Any truck with a bed less than 8 feet long is considered a short bed.
