Best hitch (non-slider)
I have been using the Superglide for about 10 yrs and have lost touch with the non-sliders. I am going to a long bed dually and would like to install the best hitch available. Any suggestions?

I truly agree on the sliding bar, but question why it is not more popular...Any thoughts?
Those that do not like the design claim that the bar and/or the pin will wear at the single contact point with the bar. I have had mine in service for many years as stated above and not seen that issue. And believe me that it did a lot of jerking around for many years with the old Prodigy brake controller(to much boost/not enough boost). Now with the MaxBrake there is very little slamming around back there. The HiJacker has an adjustment for free play. Front of pin is in a U shaped saddle, that is the part that adjusts for free play, then the large bar slides behind the pin when latched. It would be very difficult to mis-hitch or high hitch with this design. I padlock the handle once once it slides in for rest stops and WMs. We tow four days straight between Washington and Arizona without unhitch many times.
