5th Wheel Hitches

HitchCrafter builds heavy duty 5th wheel hitches for pickup trucks, cab and chassis trucks, RVs, car haulers, horse trailers, equipment trailers, hot shot hauling, and other heavy towing applications. Our Haulin’ lineup includes 34K and 50K 5th wheel hitch options, along with mounting systems designed around the truck’s make, model, year, and chassis type.

Whether you need a complete hitch kit or already have part of your mounting setup, start with the truck and the weight you need to tow. From factory 4-puck pickups to cab and chassis trucks, we offer several ways to build the right setup without trying to make one hitch fit every application.

New Heavy Duty 50K 5th Wheel Hitches for Heavy Towing

For drivers who need more capacity, HitchCrafter’s newest Haulin’ hitch is quickly becoming the highest rated heavy duty 50,000 lbs 5th wheel hitch. The 50K low-profile 5th wheel hitch is built with high-quality U.S. steel and adds adjustable locking jaws, upgraded bearings, and a self-lubricating oil-embedded bronze bearing at the main pivot.

Those upgrades give professional haulers a higher-capacity HitchCrafter option while keeping the straightforward design the Haulin’ line is known for. The heavy duty adjustable jaws help maintain a secure connection around the kingpin, and the self-lubricating main pivot removes one manual lubrication point from regular hitch maintenance.

Choose a 5th Wheel Hitch That Fits Your Truck

A hitch can have the capacity you need and still be the wrong setup for your truck. HitchCrafter parts are built around the specific make, model, year, and chassis type, so knowing how the truck came from the factory matters before you order.

Pickup trucks with a factory 4-puck system can use HitchCrafter’s OEM 5th wheel hitch options. For pickups without the OEM 4-puck system, HitchCrafter also offers non-OEM pickup truck hitch setups, including bed-delete and rail-adapter options.

Cab and chassis trucks require a different setup. A standard pickup does not become a cab and chassis just because the bed has been removed. If your truck was built as a cab and chassis, start with our cab and chassis 5th wheel hitches.

Single Pivot or Double Pivot?

What you tow also affects which 5th wheel hitch makes sense. HitchCrafter recommends single-pivot hitches for car hauling trailers, hot shot work, and other larger trailers. A single-pivot design keeps the movement front to back and is a common choice for work-focused hauling.

Double-pivot hitches move both front to back and side to side. That extra movement helps the truck and trailer move across uneven terrain without binding, which is why HitchCrafter recommends its double-pivot setups for 5th wheel campers, toy haulers, horse trailers, and equipment trailers. Double-pivot hitches are not intended for car hauling.

Built for Work and Made to Be Maintained

HitchCrafter has been building towing equipment in Lexington, North Carolina since 2002. Haulin’ 5th wheel hitches use solid steel construction and are made in the USA for people who expect their towing equipment to work regularly, not sit in the truck most of the year.

The 34K Haulin’ line uses four grease points for straightforward cleaning and maintenance, while the new 50K hitch adds a self-lubricating main pivot bearing. The goal is simple: build a hitch that can handle regular use without making maintenance more complicated than it needs to be.

How Much 5th Wheel Hitch Capacity Do You Need?

HitchCrafter offers heavy duty 34K hitches for towing setups up to that hitch rating and now a 50,000 lb fifth wheel hitch for heavier applications. The hitch rating is only one part of the equation, though. Your truck’s towing capacity, chassis, tires, condition, trailer, licensing requirements, and other equipment can all lower the amount you can actually tow.

If your current setup is reaching the limits of a lower-capacity hitch, the new 50K Haulin’ line gives you more room on the hitch side of the equation. If 34K is enough for your truck and trailer, HitchCrafter still offers heavy duty single-pivot, double-pivot, OEM, bolt-on, and air-suspension options throughout the Haulin’ lineup.
