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.

Lock the handle? Man you are paranoid!
Just kidding, I have locked all my hitches, but I always get the comments about how paranoid I am.
I know people can be ass hats and like to mess with peoples things.
Lock lock lock!
