Towing with a short bed truck can be tricky. Without the right clearance, your trailer nose can make contact with the truck cab on sharp turns. That’s why PopUp Towing Products manufactures the SB Series Offset Couplers — designed specifically to give you the space you need for safer, stress-free towing.
1. Choose the Right Offset Size
PopUp offers couplers in 6", 9", 12", and 16" offsets. For most short bed trucks, a 6" or 9" offset provides enough clearance. If you have a wider trailer nose or an extended cab truck, a 12" or 16" offset ensures maximum turning room.
2. Heavy-Duty Options for Bigger Loads
Our Heavy Duty SB couplers are rated at 30,000 lbs. GTWR, while standard offset couplers handle 24,000 lbs. GTWR. If you’re hauling heavy equipment or large trailers, the Heavy Duty option gives you confidence and capacity.
3. XL Models for Flatbed Trucks
For flatbed trucks with recessed hitch balls, PopUp offers XL offset couplers with a 4" extension, giving you both offset and the extra reach you need.
The Bottom Line
The right offset coupler protects your truck cab, improves turning clearance, and makes towing safer. With multiple sizes, heavy-duty ratings, and XL options, PopUp’s SB Series has a solution for every truck and trailer combination.
