Husky Towing Products 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch Gliders

Husky Towing Products 16K fifth wheel hitch gliders are premium solutions for towing fifth wheel trailers weighing up to 16,000 lbs. with short bed pickups. Today's lighter fifth wheel trailers, combined with improved towing capacities of most new pickup models, means RV enthusiasts have more truck and trailer combination options than ever before. One of the big advantages of a short bed truck is a shorter wheelbase compared to trucks with 8 ft. beds. A shorter wheelbase means improved turning radius and greater maneuverability both around town and in the campground. But the shorter wheelbase also creates a potential clearance problem, which is solved with the Husky 10 to 16 hitch gliders. Since the rear axle of the short bed truck is located closer to the truck cab, fifth wheel trailer kingpins can be uncomfortably close to the truck cab when making tight turns such as backing into your favorite camping spot.
