Product Overview
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."

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.
