Demco is proud to unveil the next evolution in American-made towing innovation: the Recon Stealth™, the first-ever foldable fifth wheel hitch. Built for serious towers who refuse to compromise, the Recon Stealth delivers the proven performance of our Recon lineup—and gives truck owners something they've never had before: their bed space back.
A Solution to Decades of Towing Compromise Traditional fifth wheel hitches demand valuable bed space, are awkward to remove, and often force owners to choose between readiness and everyday usability. Lighter alternatives and adapters help, but rarely offer the durability and ride quality that real-world towing requires.
The Recon Stealth™ changes that—permanently.
Compact. Strong. Incredibly Easy to Use.
At the center of this breakthrough design is a patent-pending folding base that collapses with a single motion—no awkward lifting, no bulky hardware, no wrestling a massive hitch out of the bed. When folded, your truck bed becomes fully usable again for tools, materials, luggage, or weekend gear.
The innovative three-piece steel system makes handling simple. Each component is light enough for comfortable carrying and can be stored almost anywhere:
- In the truck bed
- Inside a camper compartment
- On a garage shelf
For truck owners wanting a dedicated storage spot, Demco now offers an optional bulkhead-mounted MOLLE Rack, engineered specifically for the folded Recon Stealth. It secures the unit in place and provides additional attachment points for MOLLE-compatible gear.
From Storage Mode to Tow-Ready in Under 5 Minutes
With just a torque wrench and two sockets, the Recon Stealth converts from compact storage to a full-strength fifth wheel hitch in minutes. And even with its folding design, it maintains all the performance the Recon name is known for:
- 20K Towing Capacity
- Same head, upright, and gooseball attachment as the standard Recon
- Three height settings: 16.75”, 18”, 19.25”
- Latch handle built in — no levers or rods
- No adapters required
- Won’t void your frame warranty
- Made in the USA
- Wrap-around jaw with lock bar for a secure connection
- Dual-articulation head for smoother, more forgiving towing
- Rugged gooseball-mounted architecture used across the Recon family
- Compatible with both 4" and 5" tall 2-5/16" gooseballs
- Three height adjustment positions to fit a wide range of truck-and-trailer setups
This is fifth wheel towing—reimagined.
