LODI, CA -- Valley Industries has introduced a new Under-Bed 5th Wheel Hitch System that allows pickup trucks to be quickly outfitted for towing or cargo carrying by eliminating the use of in-bed base rails. The Under-Bed System allows the 5th Wheel Hitch to mount directly to cross tubes, which are attached under the bed to the vehicle frame with scissor clamps, and secure the hitch to the mounting brackets above. This assembly makes the hitch easily removable for full use of the pickup bed. ![]() Valley offers a single (part #70650 - rated for 15,000 lbs.) and double (part#70660 rated for 16,000 lbs.) pivot 5th Wheel Hitch for use with the Under-Bed System. Both feature a one-piece jaw for easy hooking and uncoupling of the trailer. The jaw also serves to eliminate annoying rattling noise by wrapping around and securely capturing the kingpin. Each hitch also utilizes a pop-out indicator to provide visual confirmation that the kingpin is in the proper hook-up position. A positive latch system with dual locking devices and a removable handle are employed as enhanced safety measures.
The
dual-pivot hitch makes additional use of
high-impact rubber bumpers to cushion the pivot movement and a 4:
angular pivot to provide tighter control of the tilt and help
prevent truck bed damage.
Valley's Under-Bed mounting bracket system is
currently available for 1999-2002 Ford Super Duty trucks
(part#70600), 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500s (part#
70601) and 1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups
(part#70602). The Under-Bed System prevents the 5th Wheel Hitch
from touching the bed of your pickup and can be used in conjunction
with bedliners.
