Isn't there another concern with the hitch and an hdt? I think the standard p/u truck type 5th wheel hitch is the wrong height to easily mount to the frame on a hdt, isn't it? I thought I heard something about that. Henry's ET Hitch is made to easily mount on an hdt. Pretty sure you don't want to use the commercial hitch on the truck because those don't allow any side to side pivot. I think you've got to have a head that pivots in all directions? I've been to the HDT Rally 4 times and it seems like most everybody there says "get an ET." Might want to google "ET Hitch" and then maybe give Henry a call and talk to him. He's quite the talker. Might learn something too. I've had several conversations with him and every time I learn something.
