Expert Take

The M5 Max Duty 14K is a lighter puck-mount built for GM 1500 half-tons with factory prep, sized for smaller fivers. It drops into the pucks for an easy fixed install, just respect the lower rating since half-ton payload is the real limit.

7.8 /10 Stupid Simple Score

A 31K UMS Series fixed fifth wheel that mounts straight into the truck's puck system, so install is quick and clean. Plenty of capacity for heavy loads and good bang for the buck, but it won't dampen road chatter like a cushioned B&W.

The 20K Companion offers the same cushioned, fully-articulating head as the bigger 25K, just rated for lighter fivers. It drops into factory pucks and tows about as smooth and quiet as a fifth wheel gets.
