5th Wheel Hitches

Heavy-duty in-bed hitch lets you tow your 5th wheel trailer. Fifth wheel hitches are designed for carrying much heavier loads than a standard trailer hitch can handle. The attachment point is in the bed of the truck, not at the rear bumper so that the weight of the trailer is actually over or just in front of the rear axle of the truck. This allows the truck to carry a much larger trailer and load.

B&W Gooseneck Hitches

Heavy-duty underbed hitch lets you tow your gooseneck trailer. Gooseneck hitches are designed for carrying much heavier loads than a standard trailer hitch can handle. The attachment point is in the bed of the truck, not at the rear bumper so that the weight of the trailer is actually over or just in front of the rear axle of the truck. This allows the truck to carry a much larger trailer and load.

B&W Gooseneck Hitches allow complete truck bed access when you're not towing. Remove ball from hitch, flip it upside down, and drop it back into hitch for storage.
