Towing heavy? Check out this hitch.

If you are thinking about buying or moving up to a really big fifth wheel, you might want to keep an eye on the Diamond Hitch from Blue Ox. This baby is rated for trailers up 33,000 lbs with tongue weights up to 7,500 lbs. The model shown is a gooseneck hitch.

If you're not familiar with the gooseneck hitch, it's a ball-and-socket-type design with the ball mounted in the truck bed. You'll see a lot of them on ranch trucks. With only the ball in the truck bed, it's easy to use the truck for other hauling when it's not towing. Fifth wheel trailers need a gooseneck extension in order to adapt to this type of hitch. But a fifth wheel version of the Diamond Hitch is planned for the near future. Stay tuned. — Jerry Brown
