Look at the PullRite automatic slider--have used one for ten years and would not give it up!!!!

I've owned both (plus other 5er hitches in 25 years and 10's of thousands of miles towing)

The PullRite SuperGlide requires more maintenance then any hitch I have ever owned. It's also the most finicky about trailer hitch height for hitching/unhitching of any hitch I've owned.
It's also the heaviest hitch I've ever owned, to remove it from the truck I had to "hitch" then pull the bed-pins and pull the hitch that way. To re-install took me from 15 to 60 min to get the truck and hitch lined up.
But it does exactly what it is intended to

The biggest down side I have found with the Andersen is how high I have to raise the trailer to hitch/un-hitch. I have about 3 inches of clearance in my RV port at that point.
Due to the geometry of my trailer I can't open the "generator" bay when connected to the Andersen, this was a problem my first time out as that was where I had my leveling blocks.

But it also does exactly what it is intended to and is the quietest hitch I have owned in years.

Big reason my friend got rid of the Superglde, got tired of how finicky it was to hitch and unhitch . He couldn’t be happier with the Andersen

I’m totally happy not having to deal with that monster heavy manual slider I had.
