5th Airborne - Make Your Next Getaway a Breeze!
The Smoothest Ride
Your fifth wheel takes a lot of abuse from turbulence caused by potholes, section dividers, bridge decks, and heavily-worn interstate highways. The 5th Airborne premium fifth wheel air-ride coupler acts as a buffer between the tow vehicle and the trailer, minimizing the challenges in the road. This significantly reduces the negative impact of vertical shock and longitudinal chucking. The 5th Airborne does more than improve your ride, it protects your investments by relieving stress on your coach's frame, cabinets, mechanicals, and support mechanisms. Reduced vibration also saves your contents. Furniture, appliances, TVs, computers, dishes, glassware, and other fragile items stay in their places. Drivers and passengers also benefit from reduced fatigue and the improved safety provided by the 5th Airborne's smooth ride.
Best on the Market
The 5th Airborne premium fifth wheel air-ride coupler was engineered and developed by long-time veterans of the towing industry. They put the product through grueling tests to measure its performance against the top two competing premium couplers on the market. The 5th Airborne coupler, with its innovative forward pivot design, outperformed both leading competitors. Test measurements were recorded in both the vertical (air-ride softening) direction and the longitudinal (anti-chucking) direction. The documented results proved that 5th Airborne performed significantly better in orientations.

Unique Aerodynamic Design
The streamlined, high tech design of 5th Airborne adds a touch of class to the otherwise mechanical-looking hitch. 5th Airborne is engineered with a 21K CSA rating and a 3 year warranty. 5th Airborne is designed to allow tuning of the air-spring, a feature that permits adjustment to optimize the performance of each rig combination. The air-spring is enclosed within the coupler, providing protection from UV exposure and road hazards. The entire coupler is preassembled and designed for easy installation using existing holes and hardware.

Sidewinder Pin Box Coupler
See Part Numbers in Chart Below |
|
Sidewinder - Nimble and Quick, Worry-Free Turning!
The Premium Pin Box Coupler
Sidewinder is the premium pin box coupler designed specifically for short bed pickup trucks. The nimble and quick design automatically eliminates turning and clearance headaches. Now you can make up to 90° turns without exiting the truck, without throwing a switch, and without pushing a button.
Exclusive Pivot Point
Sidewinder's kingpin locking mechanism moves the pivot position 20" rear of the coupler's attachment point. This enables Sidewinder to effortlessly handle up to 90° turns. By moving the pivot rearward, the trailer tracks more closely to the tracks of the truck. This reduces the need for extra wide turns and allows short bed pickup trucks to jackknife with no fear of contact—and it's all done automatically. Sidewinder also offers faster steering wheel response, making backing up more easier than ever before. The pivoting pin box makes hook up possible at any angle. And, since the towing position of the arm of the pin box is locked in line with the truck, you can make full use of the truck bed space, giving you extra storage space for fuel tanks, toolboxes, and cargo.
Strength by Design
Don't let the slim looks fool you. Sidewinder has been built for strength. The C-channel design gives it more stability and strength than the standard pin box design. It also allows better load capacity and the ability to support heavier loads. Tested for real world conditions, Sidewinder has cleared rigorous testing by BOSCH automotive proving grounds and exceeds all CSA Standard 16K ratings requirements for recreational vehicles.
