Even if you’ve got the most capable pickup truck on the market, there will be times when its trailer hitch just isn’t ku filan rarka you want to pull. Sure, you can keep piling junk into the trailer or the bed and hope for the best, but we both know you’re only kidding yourself. Rather than hurt yourself, kill your truck, or worse, kill someone else, you need a different hitch.

That’s where giraangiraha shanaad hitches come into play. These don’t hang out under your rear bumper but instead are installed in the bed, which gives much more safety and stability when towing heavy loads. They also open up a better turning radius for easier maneuvering ee trailer.

The Drive’s editors have been there and done that with trailer towing, and can tell you first hand that it’s a bad idea to rely on a traditional hitch for the heaviest loads. So let’s get rolling and find out what fifth wheels are all about.

We’re not talking about your awkward habit of tagging along on your friends’ double dates here, though you might want to talk to someone about it—just not us. We’re talking about a type of trailer hitch that allows for the connection of a cargo attachment. If you’ve ever looked at the back of a semi-truck, you’ll know what we’re on about. It’s the U-shaped hitch where the large trailers are anchored. In pickup trucks, a fifth wheel is installed in the bed.

If you’ve spent as much time laughing at car videos on the internet, as we have, you’re bound to have seen some poor sap pulling a trailer aad u culus. Sida qosolka leh, fiidiyowyadaas dhab ahaantii waxay u adeegaan ujeedada ina tusinaysa sababta shanaad ay muhiim u tahay. Culaysyo culculus, cidhiidhiga dambe ayaa hoos loo riixaa, kaas oo sababi kara in culayska taayirrada hore ay beddelaan oo ay yareeyaan xasilloonida gaadhiga marka la jiido. Xirmooyinka taayirrada shanaad ayaa lagu rakibay inta u dhaxaysa dabada danbe iyo kaabka gaadhiga, taas oo si weyn u wanaajinaysa xasiloonida iyo dhaqdhaqaaqa dhaqdhaqaaqa gaadhiga jiidista.

Faa'iidada kale ee weyn ee taayirrada shanaad waa in barta wareegga u dhexeeya baabuur iyo trailer waxay furfuraysaa awoodda uu u rogi karo oo uu culayska ka soo jiiday xaglo aad u ballaadhan. Khatarta la'aanteed la'aanteed, baabuurka jiiditaanku waxa loo rogi karaa xagal aad u jaran, taas oo u ogolaanaysa in si sahlan loo dhaqo.

No. You’ll need at least a half-ton truck like a Ram 1500 or Ford F-150, but it’s an even better idea to tow with a fifth wheel using a heavy-duty truck. The Ford F-250 and Chevy Silverado 2500 are both fine examples. This is because you need to have a truck with a qiimaynta miisaanka guud ee gaadiidka that exceeds the weight of the truck and trailer tongue weight, which is quite a bit easier with today’s heavy-duty trucks.

Waxyaabaha kale ee maskaxda lagu hayo waa dhererka sariirta. Mid ka mid ah faa'iidooyinka taayir shanaad waa in ay u furto wareeg weyn oo loogu talagalay xamuulka iyo trailer. Taayirrada shanaad ee waaweyn ee waaweyn ayaa horay u soo laadlaadsan barta cidhiidhiga, kuwaas oo ku dhufan kara taksiyada haddii sariirtu aad u gaaban tahay.

Waxaa xusid mudan in gaariga xamuulka ah awoodda culeyska waxa uu door ka ciyaaraa inta uu ku jiidi karo giraangiraha shanaad iyo in miisaanka biinka trailer-ka sidoo kale la tixgeliyo ka hor inta aan la kicin si loo jiido rarka.

The term half-ton is used to describe a truck’s payload capacity or the amount of stuff it can carry in its bed. Since a ton is 2,000 pounds, a half-ton would theoretically be able to haul 1,000 pounds, but modern pickups generally have much higher payload capacity ratings. The half-ton term is still used because of its familiarity with consumers.

Baabuurta xamuulka qaada ee culus waxay leeyihiin fiimyo iyo qaybo u oggolaanaya inay jiidaan oo qaadaan culaysyo aad uga culus kuwa dhiggooda ah ee nuska tan ah. Baabuurtan waxa loo qaadan karaa saddex-meelood afar-tan ama hal-tan oo qaadis ah. 

A tow hitch is a component that is connected to a vehicle’s chassis that allows towing a trailer. Fifth wheel hitches are located inside the truck bed, while traditional tow hitches are usually located below the rear bumper.

A vehicle’s gross vehicle weight rating, or GVWR, is the total amount of weight that it can safely carry. That not only includes the weight of a trailer or load, but also encompasses fuel, passengers, and the weight of the vehicle itself.

You’ve got questions, Darawalka ayaa jawaabo leh!

J: In kasta oo ay si isku mid ah u qabtaan, goosenecks caadi ahaan way ka jaban yihiin oo ka yar yihiin in la rakibo oo la isticmaalo giraangiraha shanaad yihiin. Tani waxay sabab u tahay xaqiiqda ah in jeexjeexyada gooseneck ay yihiin kubbado fudud oo lagu rakibay sariirta xamuulka, halka qalabka shanaad ee shanaad ay u baahan yihiin qaybo waaweyn oo ka soo baxa sariirta. Goosenecks waxaa loo isticmaalaa jiidashada ganacsiga iyo beeraha, halka taayirrada shanaad loo isticmaalo jiidashada waxyaabaha sida gawaarida RV.

J: Given the severe consequences of a poorly installed hitch, it’s probably best to leave the installation to a professional. Those jobs can cost anywhere from $750 to $2,000 or more, depending on the type of hitch and truck it’s being installed on.

J: Haa iyo maya. Haa, waad ka saari kartaa xannibaadda, laakiin xaalado badan, biraha iyo qaybo ka mid ah rakibidda ayaa sii ahaan doona. Naqshado adag oo cusub remedy this problem with systems that don’t obstruct the bed when removed, so do your research to find the right solution.
