Is this a good deal for a used Pullrite Superglide?

Found one somewhat locally for $700. It is a 16k 4100 model in very good condition. Comes with above bed rails and the mounting kit for my 2012 Ram 3500 shortbed.

I dont have a 5th wheel yet and to be honest I may still just buy a travel trailer. But if its a good deal I may jump on it and sell the hitch later if I dont use it.

Also how much is it usually installed for? All the shops I called said they will research and call me back with qoute. That was three days ago and nothing.
  • Just picked it up an its in great condition. Talked him down to $600 so I'm a happy camper. Got the rails and mount kit for my truck too with the deal. Now just need to drill the four holes and of course buy a 5th wheel!

  • mine cost a grand then had to get rails to install it in my truck altogther 2 grand get it
  • I just had a SuperGlide 4100 installed with under bed rails and king pin capture plate. Total cost was $2200 installed. Installation cost was $300 so $1900 for hitch, rails and capture plate. The under bed rails are considerably higher priced than the above rails. Furthermore, the rail kit is specific to the truck its being installed in. So buying used you have to find one from an similar truck.

    The capture plate is required and the exact one you'll need depends on which trailer you purchase and which king pin that manufacture uses. Cost for capture plates new are about $200.

    The dealer also installed a 7 wire outlet in the bed of my truck that T'd off my existing bumper connector. Cost for that was $95 installed.
  • it's an OK deal. If it has the Delrin inserts. If not, you won't be able to sell it for much more than that. I would not pay that for a used non-Delrin older style.

    Must have had too much money to spend..I paid $800. online for a new 15k Super Glide that fits std rails. Rails and mounting kit were about $300. Labor to instal was $350. Total $1450.00

    That doesn't sound bad at all. On Amazon I can buy 16k hitch only for $1000 after tax. Was not sure how much mount kit was though. I think I read $500 somewhere.

    So for $700 for everything seems pretty good. Comes with the cover too.
