So was my 2016 tw230 and my 2019 ifor. Cut the plugs off and put 7 pin on to match my trucks. There's only one extra wire in there that's not needed.

Ah I see. I’ve changed the fleet except one transit we abuse which is running a 7 pin hook up otherwise everything else is running 13 pin now. The only problem I’ve had with a 13 pin was on  the Hilux as it seems to have a bad connection. Other than that, all been fine.

I wondered if it was a European thing to cover vehicles like this? 3t tow vehicle and a 9t trailer/load combo.  These 'mini artics' would be great in urban environments. Not sure if they are legal in the UK though.

I'm sure they are legal, although I don't know weight limits. There are plenty of 'fifth wheel' American Motor homes towed in this country by 'standard' pick-ups.

Aspen Bob has posted on here about the legality of fifth wheel towing before.

Do you have a link back?  I have searched but cant seem to find it.  

 

I have seen fifth wheel set ups on pickups (for motorhomes) but these are usually 4t ish trailers with 500-1000kg of the weight on the nose (taking the pickups payload).  I wonder if you can run a 7.5t, using its 3t payload and its 4.5t towing capacity? Basically being able to tow a 5t excavator to site with that combo.
