The PullRite SuperGlide is a really good choice. You will be very happy with it.
There are those that will post many misnomers about the hitch. But they really do not know how the hitch works.
You can un-hitch at any angle. The hitch is heavy. But with a little experience you can easily handle the weight with no issues.
On the plus side, the hitch has a failsafe wrap around jaw. Meaning, that once the jaw captures the pin, the hitch cannot possibly let go. Unless you pull the handle. And it is very difficult to High pin the hitch.
The best advice is to READ THE MANUAL. Then read it again, and again. And to learn each phrase and verse by heart. Any questions you have come hear. We will help you through any concerns.
PullRite SG = excellent choice!
However - there
*IS* a misnomer in the above about the hitch..;)
Should be re-stated:
"The hitch is
very heavy!. It takes two men and a boy to *safely* place in -or remove- to/from the bed of your pickup..:(
But with a little help from various lifting devices you can easily handle the weight with no issues"..:C
A search here will show what various SG owners use to accomplish that "easily - with no issues".
In *my* order of preference.
1. Harbor Freight 110V cable hoist for the "one finger lift".
2. 'Cherry Picker' style of engine hoist.
3. 'Crane hoist' - floor mounted.
4. Chain hoist.
5. 110V or 12V winch.
You may have one or more of those devices already.
Even if you don't, any of them have lots of other uses in your shop or garage.
(I have #1 & #2 - toss up which is best and/or easiest. Utilizing either, it's about a ten minute effortless chore).
A (cheap) furniture dolly - to place the hitch on when removed.
Roll the hitch to some corner of your garage until "next time".
