We are thinking of getting a fithwhell what kind of hitch is the best for the short bed
Thanks

 

PullRite SuperGlide.

 

He speaks the truth. A little pricey but worth every penny in my opinion.

I love mine.

Kearbey RV Center has the best price I could find on the Pullrite SuperGlide 18k hitch.

 

Hands down Pullrite Superglide. A few bucks extra but would'nt want any other hitch after having this one.
You'll spend about $1800.00 bucks on the hitch and rails.
And do the install yourself, nothing to it............

 

PUllrite SuperGlide is the only SMART Hitch to buy. Well worth the money, as they use to say on the Fram commercisl "Pay me now or Pay me later" That is what most end up doing the first time they forget to slide the hitch and crunch the rear of their truck and the front of their 5vr. THe other thing id you don't have to get out in the rain and set the slide, then get backout and reset it for normal travel.

 

i wish i had one, didn't know these were made when i bought mine.(reese). sure wish i did. i've already kissed the corner of my cab once. small repair but nonetheless.................

 

It really depends on the way the front of the fiver is made and how extended the pin box is. I have a SB and can do a 90 degree with room to spare.

 

Here's a joke for you...

What does 8 hours driving in the mountains+ pouring rain +forgetting to put your slider hitch back while backing into a stall in an RV park not made for anything bigger than a 20' tag ( I have better words for that RV park, but this is a family site)=????



Thats right, I became a member of the "crunched my cab corner club". Fortunately I didn't break the back window, but got the cab corner pretty good. That is kind of the crappy thing about the box of a Dodge being 3" shorter than any other shortbox.

My fifth wheel is supposed to be "short box freindly" (it has an extended pin box, and the nose is swept back on each side for added clearance) but you still need to slide the hitch back when backing into tight spots. I tend not to slide it back because most places are not this bad, but it only takes once.

I am definately going to look at a superglide. Set it and forget it.
