OEM 5th Wheel Puck Hitches

Many modern trucks feature an integrated mounting platform for 5th-wheel or gooseneck towing, commonly known as 5th-wheel puck hitches or puck systems. Here at The Calgary Hitch Shop, we offer specialized products that utilize this system, providing a more streamlined, secure, and user-friendly towing experience for all of your towing adventure needs.

What is an OEM 5th Wheel Puck Hitch?

An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) 5th wheel puck hitch is a cutting-edge towing solution designed to integrate seamlessly with your truck’s factory-installed puck system. Unlike traditional hitches that require permanent rails bolted into your truck bed, these hitches directly connect to the manufacturer’s built-in mounting points.

This innovative design enables speedy installation and removal, allowing you to utilize your truck bed when not towing. We provide kits that are compatible with Ford, GM, Ram, and Nissan trucks, featuring puck system legs designed to fit both long and short beds. These systems are available with impressive weight capacities, running from 16,000 lbs. to 25,000 lbs., making them suitable for a wide range of towing needs.

Benefits of OEM 5th Wheel Puck Hitches

Choosing an OEM puck system for your 5th-wheel hitch offers significant advantages:

  • Unobstructed Truck Bed: When your hitch isn’t in use, the truck bed is completely clear, allowing you to maximize cargo space without any obstructions or drilling.
  • Effortless Installation and Removal: The unique design allows for the hitch to be installed or removed quickly and efficiently with a simple quarter-turn mechanism.
  • Smooth and Quiet Towing: Advanced engineering enables efficient front-to-back and side-to-side pivoting, resulting in a more controlled and stable connection.
  • Superior Strength and Security: Despite their ease of use, 5th-wheel puck hitches are incredibly strong, offering rock-solid stability and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Just look for five distinct mounting points in your truck bed—you’ll typically see four in a square pattern and one in the centre. If you’re still unsure, you can check your truck’s specification or VIN details directly through the manufacturer.

Not at all. Ford, GM, and Ram each have their own unique puck layout and specific hitch requirements. It’s important to select a hitch that’s designed for your truck’s particular OEM puck system to ensure a perfect fit and safe operation.

No, you won’t need any additional hardware. OEM-compatible hitches are engineered to drop right into the puck system and secure with simple locking handles.

You can, but only if the aftermarket hitch is specifically designed to be puck-compatible. Some aftermarket brands offer adapter kits to work with OEM puck systems, but it’s necessary to confirm if it matches your truck’s exact configuration for safety and proper function.

Keeping the mounting points clean and free of dirt or debris, lubricating moving parts, checking locking mechanisms, and inspecting for signs of wear are all important steps to keeping your hitch in top condition.

Most OEM puck systems are factory-installed. While there are aftermarket solutions that attempt to replicate the system, they are typically not cost-effective or recommended for trucks that weren’t originally equipped with it.

For newer trucks, puck systems offer distinct advantages like a clearer appearance when the hitch is removed, simpler installation, and potentially better resale value for your vehicle.
