A fifth wheel system includes a fifth wheel configured to couple to a kingpin of a towed trailer. The fifth wheel includes a jaw configured to engage the kingpin, a wedge movable from an unlocked position to a locked position to urge the jaw into engagement with the kingpin, and a stop rod that sets a travel distance the wedge moves between the unlocked position and the locked position. An actuator adjusts position of the stop rod to thereby adjust the travel distance.
