About Your Husky 16K W 5th Wheel Hitch
The Husky 16K W 5th Wheel Hitch System is designed to tow 5th Wheel Trailers with a Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating up to 16,000 lbs. Do not exceed the rated GVWR of your vehicle as it will
create an unsafe towing condition. It has a 4-way swivel head, its height is adjustable from 15.75
to 19.25 inches in 1-3/16 inch increments, and is removed from the bed of the truck by pulling 4
retaining pins.
Preparing For First Use
Your Husky 16K W 5th wheel system is now installed and you're anxious to be on your way down the road.
You're almost there, but take a few minutes to ensure your hitch is set up properly for your particular truck/coach
combination by following the steps below.
1. Verify that the cross member is set at the proper height to provide a minimum of 6" clearance between the
bottom of the trailer nose and the top of the truck bedsides, and allows for a level-towing attitude of the 5th
Wheel Trailer (See Figure 1 below).
Figure 1
With top face of head level measure up to top of pickup box (dimension Y in Figure 1). On the trailer
measure up from the face of the pin box to the underneath of the trailer (dimension X in Figure 1).
Measurement X less measurement Y gives the amount of clearance between the top of the pickup box
and the underneath of the trailer.
At a minimum this should be 6”, if the trailer and tow vehicle are going off-road then this needs to be
8” to 10”.
If this dimension is less than 6” DO NOT USE THIS TRAILER
WITH THIS TOW VEHICLE. Severe damage may occur to both the
pickup box and the trailer.
