My 5th wheel

nice.. you have pics of the 5th wheel setup?

Very nice setup. I don't think I've heard of anyone around here doing something like that. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the club!

looks good..
probably a stupid question but i'm assuming this isnt a permanent mount. how easy or time consuming is it to remove if you were to need the bed?

Nice to see someone hauling a reasonable size trailer with a reasonable size truck instead of the gargantuan rigs one usually sees this time of year!

i gotsta know what your mileage dropped to towin that thing around

I can remove the 5th wheel in about 5 mins (weighs about 100 lbs), only the rails remain in the bed and the are about a 1/4" high.

If your gonna tow anything it's gonna cost, don't really pay to much attention to fuel prices, cause I can't change them anyway.... you wanna play you gotta pay...like they say.

Interesting... When I had my Titan the forum I was in said that a 5th wheel wasn't do-able with a short bed. Looking at your setup, I see you did just that. How far can you turn without hitting the cab? Enjoy your trailer, have a great time.

Nice set up.

O man i wish i could do that ! maybe some day ?:goodjob:

that looks sweet, like a mini big truck

The 5th wheel is a sliding unit, in that, I can adjust where it sits in the pickup bed. When I picked up the trailer I had it set at the furthest setting back, got a bit of highway bounce at that setting, so I moved it up one notch, about 3 inches, problem solved. I can still turn the truck as tightly as I want and the corner misses the back of the cab by about 3 inches.

Very cool to see a Frontier with a 5th wheel setu.... Wait what?!

That's awesome man. I haven't seen anyone else ever do that before. How does it handle compared to hitch towing with the Frontier?

very nice & pratical

my father in law has that kind of setup on his diesel f-250. never seen it done on a fronty. of course, his 5th wheel is massive, needs a huge truck to pull it

That Is Sweet Man..... Makes Me Want To Go Out And Buy Toy Hauler Now That I Seen The Front Can Have 5th Wheel.

WHAT MODS HAVE YOU DONE TO THE TRUCK? OR IS IT STOCK?

That is pretty cool. I would not be able to tow anything I need a 5th for with my fronty but That motor home does not look too bad.

Sweet, glad our trucks are capable of pulling a 19 ft 4500# trailer. Lookin' good!

The trailer pulls really nice, the tandem axles are key to not getting the tail wagging the dog effect, which happens more so with single axle trailers. I haven't pulled anything with a standard bumper style hitch on this truck.
