ABSTRACT:
A trailer-stabilizing device that stabilizes movement between a fifth-wheel trailer and the towing vehicle during normal trailering operations and that more effectively distributes the weight of the trailer to the towing vehicle is disclosed. The trailer-stabilizing device extends between the trailer and towing vehicle and is preferably positioned spaced apart from a traditional hitch and tongue connection pivotally securing the towing vehicle to the trailer. Preferably, the fifth-wheel trailer is pivotally secured to a conventional hitch within the bed of the pickup truck, and the stabilizing device is detachably secured to a conventional receiver on the back of the pickup truck.
