Horizon Global PRO Serie Manuel D'instructions page 3

4. Trucks come in many different configurations. This hitch is designed for use in light trucks such as the Ford F-Series, the Chevy
Silverado and the Dodge Ram. This hitch is recommended for use with long bed (8ft) light trucks for the best combination in truck-
trailer turning clearance.
Rule of thumb:
Fig. 3
5 . If a short bed pickup (less than 8 ft. but longer than 6 ft.) is to be used for towing, Horizon Global recommends the trailer be
equipped with an extended pin box to help gain additional truck - trailer turning clearance (See trailer manufacturer for options) (See
Fig. 4). It also may be helpful to add a 30048 30092,or 50008 slider for increased turning clearance for low speed, non-highway
maneuvering.

Conventional Pin Box
Do Not install this fifth wheel hitch on or attempt to tow with a short bed pickup
truck that has a bed shorter than 6 ft. unless sidewinder is used!
6. 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.
