Does anyone else own the 2012 Attitude FL28AKLG

According to the instruction manuals online:
The HighJacker can hook up at an angle up to 15 degrees.
The SuperGlide can hook up at an angle up to 16 degrees.

The SuperGlide does have additional parts a person can purchase to lift it higher. With the Highjacker the height adjustments are apart of the hitch.

My post from another thread about hitches :

When I was looking to buy a 5th wheel I was told/read the slidding hitch wouldn't be needed but some people liked to have it just in case. I went with a manual slider just in case I would need it.... I end up using my slider EVERY time I use my trailer. Now with a manual slider it is a huge pain to operate due to the area I need the slider is not prefectly level ground. So I am switching to a automatic slider.

When trying to decide which hitch to go with I narrowed it down to a Superglide or a Highjacker autoslide. I was looking at ordering one ,of these two, from Tweety's... due to the decent pricing they have online and free shipping. The things that sold me on the HighJacker is noted by an " * ". I have never owned either of these hitches but hope to soon have a HighJacker installed.

SuperGlide 16k - $1,837.44 (total)
hitch - $1,164.66
mounting kit - $552.90
capture plate - $119.88

HighJacker 18k - $1,618.60 (total)
hitch - $1,268.80
mounting kit - $349.80

Both hitches share some features such as 14" of slide, can remove hitch leaving a clean truck bed, made in the USA, 5yr warranty.

SuperGlide PROS & CONS -
- lighter overall weight but also a lighter rated hitch
- lube with WD40
- more expensive for lighter weight setup
- hook/unhook at up to 16 degree angle
- no bed plugs to fill holes after hitch is removed from the truck
- multiple parts and steps to remove hitch from truck
- needs a capture plate
- wrap around jaws
- unclear if there is a way to padlock the hitch
- head may flop or move when driving unhitched
- no hitch height adjustment without buying more parts

HighJacker PROS & CONS -
- about 100lbs heavier but also a heavier rated hitch
- lube with greese
- *less expensive for a heavier rated setup
- hook/unhook at up to a 15 degree angle
- * includes bed plugs to fill holes when hitch is removed from truck
- * hitch is one entire assembly to remove and have a clean truck bed
- * no capture plate needed
- * straight jaw locking bar
- * positive padlocking capabilities
- * poly bumpers on hitch head prevent noise when driving unhitched
- * adjustable hitch height

These were some points I considered when looking for a hitch and also what I thought was important to think about when I was making my purchase. Like I have said before, I don't think a person could go wrong with either hitch, it just depends on which features are more important to you.

I have the 16k. I wouldnt lift it all myself but you can take if off in sections also. I would just leave it on the king pin if I wanted to take it off I guess so no lifting. The superglide is on a came so you can be about 15 degrees of either way. Reading about the hijacher it says its on a gear so I would think it starts sliding soon as you turn. Unless you can disengage the slide until you straightened out I dont think that would be very good.

Which model superglide? 16K? Can you lift it out of the truck by yourself or is it a 2-person job. I hear they are heavy...

From what I have seen the Hijacker is a similar gear system to the Superglide therefore you will probably have the same issue of having to hookup straight. THis is probably true for any slider type hitch just due to the way they are designed. No real way to get around it from what I can see.

I have the superglide and it works great. I do believe it has the height adjustment also. Only thing I wonder about the Hijacker is if its on a gear system do you have to hitch up perfectly straight or the gear will be out of position. I cant find any info on hiching up at an angle. If somehow it works at any angle I think it would be very nice set up with the benifit of not needing a capture plate.

Any reason you chose the Hijacker over the popular Pullrite Superglide?

I think I will like the following things about the Highjacker :
- positive locking slide bar.
- verticle hitch height adjustments
- no capture plate needed

When talking to the sales rep at Tweety's he said the only downside to the Highjacker is that it weighs more than the Superglide but it does have some nice features to it....

I have never taken my manual slider out of my truck yet so the weight wasn't an issue for me. I figure I will give it a try and see how the Highjacker is. I hope it works out as nice as it reads to be.

My question too!

The newest model SG are very low maintenance, hitch pin capture is high precision, and customer support/warranty are industry leading..

Do you put your Suzi in there? Is that why the you added the third axle? Very nice job there! I love my Equaflex. I also added a long Mor/Ryde pinbox. My hauler came with a medium box. I called Lippert, who made the chassis, and they said the long was fine to use. The long is 5 7/8" longer, which helps a lot.

Yeah, the Zuki goes inside. I was near the limit on the weight but most of it was over the rear axle (of the two). I checked into moving the axles rearward or adding a third axle and Lippert said adding the third axle to help distribute the weight was the way to go... so had them do it for me. They said it would also add capacity but the Zuki fills up the cargo area so I couldn't carry anything else if I wanted too.

How long is your current pinbox ?
Mine is the Lippert 1116 at 30.741" in length.

The more we use our FL28AK the more we like it.
It performed flawlessly again this last weekend.
The added triple axle and/or the Trailair Equa-flex makes it tow/ride down the road so much smoother than before. We've had it out a few times since the conversion and it is a completely different towing experience now. Not sure which mod made more of a difference as they were both added at the same time.
