Fifth wheel trailer hitches and Goosenecks

If you like full-size RVs, but I want to be able to separate and leave your trailer behind, then a fifth wheel trailer is perfect for you. The goose neck connected to the truck bed instead of in back as a standard coupling (for a total of about 30,000 pounds.) This means that your truck can pull much weight heavier than it would otherwise. In addition, the gooseneck makes it easier to maneuver.

Professional advice - Before going out to have a tug gooseneck installed, check out the maximum towing capacity of your vehicle. Just because you have a truck, does not mean you can pull it.

Although technically, you can install yourself hitch, not a good idea. Leave this installation to the professionals.

In some cases, parts of the truck must be removed and put back together. In all cases, you need to be careful line of fuel and break lines. If serious changes are necessary, again it is advisable for professionals to handle the job. However, if you really want to do it yourself, then get an installation kit and follow the instructions to the letter.

Snagging prices
As all things, the better the coupling, the more expensive it can get. The more "gadgets", a higher price. However, even on your down payment is ganga will run about $ 500. Better with pulls pulls sliding attachments powerful, and stronger light means you're looking at $ 3,000.

In addition, higher towing capacity and modifications must also raise the price. However, if you buy a used trailer fifth wheel, you may be able to get the dealer to include the price of the hitch.
