Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel Hitch

I am buying a new 2024 Cherokee Arctic Fox 287BH and need to get a Reese Sidewinder hitch. I have a short bed 5.8 and need to know which one to get.

Does anyone know the make and model of the fifth wheel mounted hitch on the Arctic Fox 287BH?

The hitch is what is mounted in the truck bed.

Do you mean the hitch pin?

There are a lot of variables but my Artic Fox mid bunk fifth wheel has done well on a reese standard 16k hitch. I have a 6.5 ft bed and do not use a slider or a sidewinder. People should learn to drive and tow or stay out of the RV business. Tired of all the rookies. I am a host at a state park and sick and tired of rookies tearing up site post or whining about not being able to get in a site. I get calls weekly to help someone back in .

To clarify, I am looking for the make and model of the fifth wheel kingpin that is mounted on the 2024 Arctic Fox 287BH.

I have been towing RV trailer’s for 30 years, and this is my first fifth wheel. I am just learning about the fifth wheel system.
So, yes I am a rookie when it comes to fifth wheels.

Your best bet is to call your dealership get picture. Dealers have options when they order new units. My guess is that it has the standard pin but can’t be sure
