Best 5th-Wheel Hitch to
Reduce Road Shock

TrailerSaver 5th Wheel FAQs

Isn't an air-ride pinbox just as effective as a TrailerSaver hitch? 
Although an air-ride pinbox will offer some cushioning effect on the trailer, other more pronounced effects such as chucking will be amplified, particularly during starts and stops.

In addition to performance, you must consider how long you might own the existing 5th wheel as the air-ride pinbox must match the hole-pattern of your existing trailer and are usually non-transferrable to a different trailer.

Why not just get an air-ride suspension instead?
An air-ride suspension is fantastic for keeping your rig level and for maintaining a constant drive line angle; however, the air suspension actually increases the stiffness of the suspension at the point of connection between the trailer and truck.  With less give at the point of connection, the road stress that leads to trailer damage is increased making the need for the TrailerSaver that much greater.

Do I need a certified dealer to install my TrailerSaver?
Because the TrailerSaver hitches install into industry-standard rails or OEM puck mounts, all that needs to be done is set the hitch in place and pin or latch it into the truck's 5th wheel mount. The bolt-down hitches for medium-duty trucks are often installed by individuals or any professional hitch installer.  With our simple and well-written installation manual, most hitch installers find the installation of a TrailerSaver very easy.
