I had a pullrite superglide for 3 years. Never dropped the 5er but I can see how it could happen. I did have a few times where the latch handle did not go in all the way.
When that happened I always pulled it back out and realigned. Then it would latch properly.
The one year we spent 6 weeks in Florida at beaches. It got a lot of sand in it and would not latch.
Had to remove and clean out. Used a lot of WD-40 to loosen everything up. Worked great after that.
Unfortunately I don't have that hitch any more. Truck was totaled this past winter and hitch went with truck. We where in Alabama at the time. Had a friend come rescue us and tow 5er home. Had to buy new truck and decided to go with B&W hitch. That way if a friend of mine was in need I could help tow them. With the pullrite you have to deal with different style capture plates.
The point is with Pullright when it does not latch, you know immediatley that it did not latch! Sometimes just the sound it makes tells you there is something wrong! You are not fooled by thinking it is latched, it either is or is not latched! I do not have any experiance with any other hitch, but I am completly satisfied with my Superglide!
