Demco Hitch

it works flawlessly and exactly as described.

on edit: I bought when it was Hijacker made in Canada. I don't know if the new company made any changes.

Have the 18k HJ autoslide, pull a 15 k fiver,over 55000 miles on it. Just rebuilt the top part of the head,excellent hitch,very heavy.Mine has the slide bar, the new ones have the jaw type clamp.Very good service from Demco.

I have a Demco Glide Ride pin box on my CC. Great product.


The only draw back to the Hijacker Slider Hitch IMHO is the draw bar lock.

I much prefer the wrap around the king pin latch on my Pullrite 16K SuperGlide.

I like mine a lot, too! One of the plusses is the fact you don't need a 'key' for the hitch pin, just the rails on the hitch do the turning...which means you can hookup and tow any 5th wheel with a king pin . Some kingpins require an adapter on the hitch's head, but it will still hook up with out a key.

Just had mine since spring and have about 5,000 miles on it.

It is heavy duty :) I bought a hoist from Harbor Freight that I put in the garage rafters to lift it out with.

Demco customer service has been great...

Follow this link to see that the Demco has a wrap around hitch as well as the draw bar lock...:B

Go down to the photos and click on the picture on the right to see the head.

I stand corrected. I watched the video and that still showed the bar.

I hadn't watched the video until you mentioned it. It is a bit misleading in the video...you get both the wrap around jaws and a locking bar (which is the one seen in the video). Once hooked up it is very secure, no banging and clanging and for some reason it stopped all the 'chucking' on my setup - YAY!

Actually, when one considers the absolute plethora of postings and topics here on the forum over the years on dropped fifth wheels, most all having to do with wrap around jaws and Reese hitches, perhaps that sliding bar is not such a bad deal.

The Hijacker/Demco hitch has accounted for the slop most found with a sliding bar, such as what I had in my Lil Rocker X 16 hitch.

And, considering new owners, I honestly believe a sliding bar has a much shorter learning curve for learning correct hitching as compared to the Reese hitch with its wrap around jaws.

Well said! I concur 100%...
