Whats your favorite 5th wheel and why?

I had a Holland single jaw and hated it... Got my trailer disconnected couple times while doing a tug test.. So especially in winter time when grease gets thick I used a flashlight every time I hooked to my trailer to make sure the jaw was locked.. I switch over to Jost and liked it from a day one.. Two years later no single problem with Jost..

 

I like Fontaine or jost myself. The drawbar that goes across the pin makes me feel better, also I find with holland they wear out faster and need adjusting frequently.

 

Any 5th wheel with a trailer hooked to it loaded with 3000 lbs of freight that pays $10.00 per mile is by far my favorite

 

surelly Jost. Fontane no slack 2 is good, but no cheaper aftermarket parts. Jost aftermarker parts are much cheaper.

 

This is a rather interesting thread. I have a holland only way I knew that was by scraping what appeared to be about 10 years worth of old grease off of it. When I eventually break down and replace that I'll buy a jost. I've heard holland has gone to #### over the years...and if they're 5th wheels are like they're landing gear I'll go with jost!

 

Holland/SAF is owner of part of Georg Fischer Automotive plant. Really Holland fifth wheels are a bit modified GF fifth wheels from 80-s/90-s.

 

I don't have any complaints with the jost on my kenworth, but I sure like the Fontaine no slack 2 that's on my new westernstar. Very nice. I'll never buy another holland.
