We have had the Pullrite Superglide since 2006 and am very happy with it. I have needed the slider a few times and am glad to have it when it was needed. There are a few things to consider. It is very heavy, so if you plan on taking it out of the truck when not in use, have a system to assist you. To unhitch the rig from the truck, you have to release the tension caused when towing so once the landing gear is set put the truck in Neutral to allow it to "settle." My wife is all of 120 pounds and she can unhook the trailer so its not a big issue. This hitch does not have a normal kingpin type set up where the trailer swivels on a friction plate. An attachment is bolted to the trailer pin which fits into the hitch. The swivel point is actually in the hitch which allows for the auto slide function to work. This can be good and bad. Good that without a superglide hitch a thief cannot back up to your trailer and drive away. Bad if you need tow assistance froma friend, they can't tow you either. There is an attachment that can be purchased which hooks to the trailer and allows a regular hitch to tow. All in all, I recommend the hitch. Good Luck, be safe!
