Reese 5th Wheel Slider Hitch

When I first started pulling a 5th wheel I was overwhelmed by the amount of options I had for towing this beast I was planning on purchasing.  I wanted a name brand that knew would hold up to the abuse and needed the slide features since my truck is a short bed pickup.  Didn't want to smash out the back window when backing the rig up into tight spots.  After weeks of research I found the Reese Towpower 30056 from their Pro Series line.  This hitch has the name I wanted, the tow capacity needed for pulling my 12K lbs monster, and the best price in these series hitches.  I have had the hitch installed in my truck for almost a year now and it still looks and performs as it did the day I installed it.

That's right...I installed it with the help of a friend of course.  The hitch took about 4 hours to install and is one of the easiest installations I have ever done when it comes to hitches.  The kit comes with universal mounting rails and all hardware needed to do the job right.  Once the rails are installed, the rest of the hitch is installed by rods and pins.  This is great because when you are not using the hitch, the hitch can be removed freeing back up all that cargo space that was lost.  The only thing that stays in the truck permanently is the rail system.  I have pulled over 10K miles with this hitch, checked all the bolts, and none have even come close to loosening up!  I plan on doing my entire cross country trip on this hitch and will never worry about break down or heavy wear.  There has been no sing of either of these concerns in the 15K miles I have gone so far!

See you down the road!
