    for sure, I'd never be able to run either a teflon plate or aluminum fifth wheel, the line savers on the pickup throat of my scissornecks would tear the hell out of them every time I'd have to winch up a load. they already make a mess out of a steel fifth wheel.

    Up until about 6 months ago, I didn't know they made air release 5th wheels.

    That aluminum 5th wheel from holland is kinda pricey (like 3K ) it does have the same ratings as a steel one.

    You weren't real keen on going down there to begin with, so you talked yourself into going with a hazmat load.:cool:
