Expert Reply: Most 5th wheel hitches actually have a lifetime warranty. As long as you take good care of it, don’t go over the weight capacity, keep it clean and lubricated, and replace parts as they need replacing, a 5th wheel hitch could last you a very long time.

Can you pull a 5th wheel with a 6.5 ft box?

Yes, it is possible to pull a 5th wheel with a 6 foot bed by using a slider hitch. This type of hitch is not too different from the regular 5th wheel trailer hitches, but the difference is that it can slide on the rails and it increases the space between the truck and the 5th wheel trailer.

Do I really need a sliding 5th wheel hitch?

1. How do I know if I need a sliding 5th wheel hitch? If the distance from your truck bed to your 5th wheel jaws is less than half the width of your trailer, you will need a sliding 5th wheel hitch. Without a slider, the nose of the trailer will obstruct the truck cab when making a turn.
