Thank you for the compliment, but I wouldn't let little things like a 5er hitch stop you... it all comes out except for the rails.

What a great trailer, we just traded our 2011 X23J in this spring on a new Starcraft 299BHU, needed the bunks. I am still getting used to not having the open and airy feeling of the bunkends. Look what we towed it with when we first purchased it, a Ford Explorer! Just a bit overloaded.

Too bad that signatures don't show up in the mobile apps. It would save a lot of questions. LOL!

My bad, I meant that I would have went 5ver but want to carry stuff (dirt bike, camping gear, firewood) in the bed while towing.

Another nice rig, I would put your set up on the same pedestal as RedOne.

I've owned and towed 5vers before and the turning radius and stability is so much nicer than a bumper pull.
