Installation and Fitment

Proper installation and fitment are crucial for the safe and effective operation of your GEN-Y Hitch Executive King Pin Fifth Wheel Box. Please follow the guidelines below to determine the correct model and ensure compatibility with your trailer.

Determining Your Executive Model:

To select the appropriate Executive model, consider the following factors:

1. Determine connection type: Standard Fifth Wheel Connection or Gooseneck Connection. Gooseneck eliminates the need for a bulky fifth wheel hitch in the truck bed.
2. Confirm your trailer's frame model: The frame model can often be found on your original pin box. If not, refer to spec sheets or contact the frame or trailer manufacturer.
3. Determine the required Executive size: This is based on your loaded pin weight, which is approximately 22% of your trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). For example, a 16,800 LB GVWR trailer would require a 3,696 LBS pin weight, suggesting a 5.5K model.

Refer to the chart below for guidance on selecting the correct model based on calculated pin weight:

• 1,600 - 2,599 LBS: 3.5K model
• 2,600 - 3,599 LBS: 4.5K model
• 3,600 - 4,599 LBS: 5.5K model
• 4,600 - 5,599 LBS: 6.5K model
• 5,600 - 6,599 LBS: 7.5K model
• 6,600 - 7,599 LBS: 8.5K model
