Towing a large camper or heavy equipment trailer calls for more than a standard receiver hitch. A 5th wheel hitch mounts in the truck bed and connects to the trailer's kingpin, giving you a stronger, more stable connection that handles heavier loads with far less sway than a conventional bumper pull setup. Action Trucks carries a wide selection of 5th wheel hitches, puck system legs, roller adapters, and replacement parts from CURT, Blue Ox, Gen-Y Hitch, and Reese.

Why Choose a 5th Wheel Hitch

5th wheel hitches are built to handle both large and small trailers with confidence, and many models in this category are rated to haul up to 30,000 lbs. Because the hitch mounts over the rear axle rather than behind the bumper, weight is distributed more directly onto the truck frame, which keeps even small trailers moving with minimal sway compared to a standard hitch and ball setup. This makes 5th wheel hitches a common choice for drivers hauling large travel trailers, livestock trailers, or heavy equipment.

Puck System 5th Wheel Legs

Puck system legs, such as the CURT options built for the Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450, Ram 2500 and 3500, and Silverado and Sierra HD trucks, bolt into factory puck mounting points in the bed for a clean, no-drill installation. These are available in weight ratings from 25,000 up to 30,000 lbs depending on the model.

Roller Adapters

Roller adapters, like the CURT puck system roller adapter rated at 20,000 to 24,000 lbs, allow the hitch head to slide during tight turns, which helps prevent the trailer from contacting the truck cab on short bed trucks.

5th Wheel Hitch Adapters with Rails

For trucks without a factory puck system, an adapter with rails, such as the CURT option built for select Chevy, Ford, and GMC trucks rated at 25,000 lbs, adds the mounting rails needed to install a 5th wheel hitch.

Complete 5th Wheel Hitches

Full hitch units, like the CURT E16 5th Wheel Hitch built for the Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 with an 8 foot bed, provide the complete head and mounting assembly in one vehicle specific package.

Replacement Parts and Accessories

Beyond full hitches and legs, this category includes individual parts such as brackets, lube plates, sliders, rail kits, and kingpin locks, making it easy to repair or upgrade an existing 5th wheel setup rather than replacing the entire hitch.

Choosing the Right 5th Wheel Hitch
