Hi All,

I have a '06 Frontier with the 5' bed and have a chance to get a 5th wheel travel trailer for a really great price. Weight is not an issue (it's only 4k lbs) the problem I'm having is finding a hitch that will work with that short of a bed. Has anyone tried this in the past? or seen this done? Or am I hopping for something that isn't possible...

If it's a regular size travel trailer, it is going to look really funny in the back of a shortbed. Most travel trailers are designed so the neck will fit in an 8' box. So your looking at about an extra 3' gap in between.

It will be kinda tight but you may get buy with a sliding hitch.

Doe your Nismo squat when towing?
