FIFTH-WHEEL TRAILER HITCH
Equipped)
Your vehicle has a fifth-wheel prep
package. This package enables your
vehicle to accept certain fifth-wheel trailer
hitches and gooseneck ball hitches. The
fifth-wheel trailer hitch attaches to the four
mounting pads in the pick-up bed. A 7-pin
trailer wiring connector could be in the bed
as well. The gooseneck ball hitch is a
separate mounting pad from the
fifth-wheel hitch in the center of the bed.
Shorter pick-up boxes provide less
clearance between the cab and the
fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailer
compared to longer box pick-ups. When
selecting a trailer and tow vehicle, it is
critical to check that this combination
provides clearance between the front of
the trailer and tow vehicle for turns up to
90°. Failure to follow this recommendation
could result in the trailer contacting the
cab of the tow vehicle during tight turns
that are typical during low-speed parking
and turning maneuvers. This contact could
result in damage to the trailer and tow
vehicle.
Note: Contact an authorized dealer to
purchase gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches
that are compatible with your vehicle.
