Re: Fifth Wheel Report
"I heard that it is a PIA to get the Titan set up for 5th wheel."
It took me 4 hours to install my fifth wheel hitch. If I were to do it again I probably could have it done in less than two hours. I used a rail kit from Valley manufacturing, they are the only company I could find making a kit specifically for the Titan. With this kit you only have to drill one hole in the frame, the other bolts use existing holes.
I'm sure the universal rail kits would work with our trucks but never having installed a fifth wheel before I felt safer going with the Valley kit.
Is this why so few do it?
The majority of 5'ers are in long bed trucks. (8 foot) In a short bed (6.5 foot)you need a slider hitch or be very careful when making extremely sharp turns as the trailer corner can strike the cab of the truck.
