Are there any fifth wheel or goose neck hitches available for unibody trucks?

Silly question TBH
If theres none available you fabricate one.
Any hauler worth his salt could weld one together in an afternoon.
The longevity of your vehicle after that will be an experiment.

You just keep welding... until that under body frame is complete!

Maybe the Toyota Stout can be our first 5th wheel project truck??

You are absolutely correct. I never heard of prefilling an oil filter until forums and the internet became common place. All through high school and college I worked in garages and no one ever prefilled an oil filter. Certainly can't hurt but I don't think you could ever measure a difference in wear over a 200k miles in an engine that was prefilled and one that was not.

I have an oil pressure gauge in my Ranger and I can't see any delay in the oil pressure coming up on the first start after an oil change compared to every other start. The only thing I do notice is the oil pressure comes up slower and goes to a higher pressure in the winter compared to the summer.

I only ever though you prefilled filters on the big straight six diesels in medium-severe duty trucks and large equipment. I wonder if its just a technique that’s carried on but is
Unnecessary. I opened up my tractor manual and it doesn’t say anything about prefilling filters. Granted my tractor is only about 3.5k lbs w/25hp so not heavy equipment but still is used like heavy equipment.

Why would you need a 5th wheel or goose neck on a vehicle that has a max tow of 4K?

Maybe it's an ultra lite 5th wheel!
