Has anyone paired these trucks up with other trailers and if so how well do they work together?

Specifically if anyone has combined them with the Sword East flatbed. I'm curious to know how high the fifth wheel hitch is and if it will cause the trailer to be at an odd angle.

Any comments would be appreciated

Thanks

Hello as far as the tractor itself goes it does not compare to Sword Peterbilts or Kenworths. The frame is like a Norscot truck frame that is not even realistic, the front bumper is plastic along with a lot of other details. The actual fifth wheel is not even close to Sword and it has a lot of play in it. The truck does have a nice look to it overall but do not expect the quality that the Peterbilts and Kenworths have.

If your question is will the Sword king pin fit in the Tonkin fifth wheel, then yes. It is designed for the Sword/WSI trailers. It will not however work with First Gear.
