Anyone. Pictures of Fifth Wheel Hitch installation

I have been looking to buy a trailer and I do see a lot of fifth wheel out there. Has any one installed a fifth wheel hitch on their taco? I wonder if its worth it? Any comments? Or should I forget about the fifth wheel idea and get a regular travel trailer?

 

I don't think the Taco meets weight on a fifth wheel

 

Apparently it is or recently has been pretty common to have a 5th wheel setup in the Toyota Hilux trucks in Great Britain. Maybe see if there is a "TacomaBritain.com" or its equivalent and ask there.

ETA: Google "Hilux 5th Wheel". Lots of results, including a British Hilux owner's group forum that would probably be a great source of info.

 

A Tacoma can hardly handle the weight of the hitch itself much less whatever the hell you plan to hook onto it.

 

a 5th wheel in a taco?!?!? get outta here.

it will be like that you tube video where that car is towing a big trailer and rolls back down the hill.

 

Yeah...You shoulda got a Tundy if you want to pull something that comes on a 5th wheel.

You are probably limited to a 23-25 foot travel trailer that is hitch pull. 6500 lbs isn't a lot.

 

Alternative if they ever become available (supply issues?).

I don't think it is that crazy. Here is a 2600lb fiberglass 5th wheel camper that's pretty cool.

 

i don't think they make those tow buddies anymore, they were coming apart causing accidents and the manufacturers got sued over it.

A 5th wheel / Gooseneck on a tacoma is not a bad idea as long as you stay within the towing capabilities. The tongue weight is centered over the axle and turning is greatly improved. There isn't a kit that i have found made in the US for the tacoma, but the concept is very simple and could be easily made with universal parts.

 

Facts: any of us who thinks a 2nd Gen Taco, a regular cab, 4x2, 4 banger, automatic no less, can't haul a 5th wheel successfully go here to disprove opinions:
