Product Overview
The #1500 OE Puck Series Super 5th is designed specifically for GM long bed trucks with pucks, but usable
with short bed trucks with the right truck/trailer combination for
those who don't mind making a larger turning radius to avoid cab contact.
This direct attachment hitch mounts directly to your truck's OE mounting points...NO ADAPTER OR RAILS NEEDED!
The
mounting post assemblies are completely removable for easier removal
and installation of the hitch. Simply unpin handles, rotate 1/4 turn
outward and lift the hitch out of the bed. NO TOOLS NEEDED! The #1500
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 plate is the first connection to your trailer. Ours have a fully
automatic locking jaw, is 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 important, PullRite's
hitch plate allows you to couple/uncouple your trailer on uneven ground,
whereas most other brand of hitches require you to jack up/shim your
truck and trailer to be level with one another to prevent a false hookup
or "high hooking." And removing PullRite's automatically-locking hitch
plate is done by pulling two pins and clips, unlike other hitches on
the market that require tools for removal.

- 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.
