4. Trucks come in many different configurations. The Reese 30K fifth wheel is designed for medium duty truck
applications such as Freightliner or Ford F-650. It is NOT intended for light duty pick-up trucks.
5. The height of the hitch and the pin box should be adjusted so the trailer is approximately level as it is towed. Allow
approximately 6 inches clearance between the top of the pickup walls and the underside of the front of the trailer for pitch
and roll of the trailer. (See Fig. 5). Allow more clearance between pickup walls and trailer for off road use.

Rule of thumb:
The distance from the back of the truck cab to the center of the rear truck
axle (“X” in Fig. 3), should be approximately 4 inches greater than one-half
the trailer width (“Y” in Fig.3)

WARNING:
Do Not use this hitch for towing a trailer with a pin box that could come into
contact with or interfere with the latch for the hitch handle when turning! (See
Fig. 6) If the pin box contacts the hitch handle or its latch when turning, the
trailer may become unhitched.
