OE Puck Series 18K Super 5th, Fifth Wheel Hitch for Long Bed Ford Trucks #1300
FREE SHIPPING!
Product Description:
The #1300 OE Puck Series Super 5th is designed specifically for Ford long bed trucks with pucks, but usable with short bed trucks with the right truck/trailer combination if you don't mind making a larger turning radius to avoid cab contact.
This direct attachment hitch mounts to your truck's OE mounting points...NO ADAPTER OR RAILS NEEDED!
Most fifth wheel hitches can be heavy to lift and maneuver, putting a lot of unnecessary back strain on you. PullRite has designed its fifth wheel hitches with a quick and easy way to remove those hitches that are equipped with a hitch head. By simply pulling two pins and clips, the head is easily removed, lightening the lifting weight of the hitch by 40 lbs. or more! Other brands require tools to remove/pry their hitch head assembly out.
The mounting post assemblies are completely removable for easier installation of the hitch. Simply unpin the post handles, rotate them 1/4 turn outward and lift out. With all four post assemblies removed, the lifting weight of the hitch is reduced again by 10 lbs. or more! The hitch is now free and can be lifted out of the bed. NO TOOLS NEEDED! The #1300 is made from high quality American steel and premium hardware, like the use of castle nuts that allow for finer adjustments of the OE puck handles for ease of installation and fit!
The hitch head is the first connection to your trailer. Ours have a fully automatic locking jaw, has the only self-locking handle on the market and has no secondary locking devices to engage. Its dual articulating hitch head moves side-to-side and front-to-back, giving you a smoother ride as you travel over bumpy roads. Even more importantly, PullRite's hitch head has a greater range of motion with it's dual articulation, allowing you to couple/uncouple your trailer on uneven ground. Some other brands of hitches have a more limited the range of motion, requiring you to jack up/shim your truck and trailer to be level with one another to prevent a false hookup or "high hooking."
All PullRite products are SAE J2638 tested. To learn more and why we feel it's so important to your safety, click here.

Notes/Limitations
A towing system includes each vehicle and component involved in towing. Each item in your towing system has a capacity or weight rating. You trailer has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR. Your truck has a tow capacity, payload capacity, and possibly more. In addition, your fifth wheel hitch has a weight rating. This weight rating must be at, or above, the GVWR of your trailer for you to tow safely. In addition, if your truck can tow larger loads (has a larger capacity) than the rating of your hitch, your system is only safe to tow loads at the lower rating, that of the hitch.
Your mounting kit also has a weight rating, just like your fifth wheel hitch. Many times, these rating are designed to match. But, this is not always the case. Your mounting kit may be higher rated then your fifth wheel hitch, but it also could be lower depending on the components involved. The lowest rating of any one component in the system becomes the rating of the entire system. If your mounting kit is rated to 18,000 lbs., and your hitch is rated at 24,000 lbs., the weight rating of the entire system will not be above 18,000 lbs. Other components in the system could lower the actual system rating further.
It is the end users responsibility to ensure a safe towing experience. To this end, it is your responsibility to ensure that the truck, trailer, hitching components, and all other items involved are rated or have a capacity sufficient for the loads involved.
