The hitch is located in the
bed of the truck over the rear axle. Hitches come
in various sizes depending on the weight of the
fifth wheel to be towed. Once the fifth wheel
has been selected and the correct size truck selected
then the last selection is the hitch. The hitch
needs to be installed by professionals as it is
bolted to the bed and chassis of the truck. The
hitch can be removed by removing the locking pins,
which allows the bed of the truck to be used for
loading as usual. Remember that shortbed trucks
require different hitches.
