Pullrite Superglide or Demco Hijacker?

Back in April we turned to sharp and broke the rear window out of the truck. 2018 Ford F350 Short Bed https://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/29872183/srt/pa/pging/1/page/1.cfm

Have since sold the Reese hitch and are looking for an auto-slide hitch. Think we have narrowed it down to Pullrite and Demco.

Pullrite seems to have hitch/unhitching issues, needs separate plate on kingpin, can't tow other 5vr's without plate.

Demco seems to have chucking issues.

What are your recommendations or thoughts? :h

    I'm too new to be a seasoned expert, but I have the Demco and like it. Pretty easy to hitch and unhitch, easy to SEE whether it's hitched correctly. I've put over 20,000 miles on this rig in 3 years and we do get the chucking on bad expansion joints. I'm looking into getting the Air Ride Trailair pin box to help smooth things out.

    The Ford has the new Puck System. Reese hitch was not adjustable.

    I am wondering how close the Reese hitch (center of pin) was to the back of your cab. Some non-slider hitches can be set back over axle center, allowing just over 40"s between pin center and cab. You also have the Andersen option, with a coupler that can be reversed, allowing more clearance. The Pullrite is popular, but heavy, and alignment issues, like you mentioned.

    Are you using rails or pucks?
