FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0001] this invention generally relates to a field of vehicle coupling and towing systems, and in particular, to a noise reduction and durability enhancement in fifth wheel coupler assembly and method thereof.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.
