ShockDrop Technology — A Smoother Ride for You and Your Trailer

Traditional 5th wheel hitches can transfer significant shock and movement directly to your truck cab, creating a jarring experience on rough roads and uneven terrain. The CrossWing's patent-pending ShockDrop Technology is engineered to absorb and reduce that jarring motion, resulting in a smoother, more controlled towing experience for both driver and trailer on every haul.

Precision Hookup. Every Time.

The CrossWing's unique coupling system features a visible contact surface that takes the guesswork out of connecting your fifth wheel trailer. The head channel actively guides the kingpin into the correct position, reducing the time spent lining up and getting you on the road faster.
