The REESE Towpower Sidewinder Fifth Wheel Pin Box is designed for those who want to tow with a truck that has a short bed.
This premium REESE 5th wheel hitch product is specifically made to eliminate issues with turning and clearance when towing with a shorter pickup.
The patented design of the short bed fifth wheel hitch allows towers to make turns of up to 90-plus degrees without leaving the cab of the truck.
The Sidewinder connects to your trailer and works by locking the trailer king pin to the fifth wheel hitch, moving the pivot point of the trailer a whopping 22 inches rearward to allow for increased turning clearance.
The towing fifth wheel hitches system tracks automatically, allowing for tighter turns when towing forward or moving in reverse, keeping the load centered over the axles and eliminating the need for a fifth wheel slider system.
The pivoting design of this elite pin box lets towers hook up to their fifth wheel hitch at nearly any angle while increasing stability and strength to support heavier loads.
Like the REESE goose box and 5th Airborne, the REESE Sidewinder is tested to exceed all SAE standards, has a capacity of 20,000 pounds, and fits several Lippert trailer configurations when used with the included universal wedge.
(Custom wedge kits sold separately.) The unit ships preassembled to save on installation time and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, making it the ultimate solution for short bed towing.
