I am wondering if there are some of you that might have experience with the Pullright" and the "Highjacker (Demco) Autoslide hitches? I have a 6.4 box in a 2014 Ram 3500 and I am looking at these and trying to find which one if either has any preferences?I also looked at the Reese Sidewinder (revolution), but by the time I purchased the rotating turret and the hitch it was almost the same price and the sliders might be the better option?The 5th wheel is a 30.2 Ft Cougar.Thanks for your ideas!

I have used the Pullrite for over 5 yrs. and many miles without any problems. Not cheap but what price do you put on peace of mind.

I used a Pullrite ISR 18k Superglide for several years and, after switching to a Class A, sold it to my neighbor who still uses it. Works great, easy to hook up, no "chunking", etc. Really liked how the jaws came entirely around the kingpin.Only thing I would say is that you have to be a little more diligent with greasing/oiling, but not a big deal once you get the hang of it.One drawback if you plan to remove it from the truck bed frequently, that dang thing is HEAVY. Really take two to heft it out and back in again. But you can remove the head to help a little with the weight.Happy shopping!Greg

I have had my Pullright for a year and it is great. I really like the fact that I do not have to worry about getting out and activating a manual slider. The installation instructions were good and we had it done in an afternoon.It is solidly built and you really know when it is hitched. It makes a very solid, distinctive sound when it couples.Good luck in your search.Craig

I really like our Superglide. It is very heavy, even with the head removed it probably weighs 160 lbs. Taking it in and out of truck is a 2 man job because of how awkward it is to handle. You could of course make it a 1 man job with a comealong or winch. It is substantial and I really have enjoyed it. You do need to clean and spray WD40 on it before using it, but that is only a 2 minute job. Good luck. Keith

I'm starting my second year on my Superglide, have no experience with the Demco. I absolutely love it and have no regrets. I watched Craigslist for many many months to replace my old Husky slider and found one 20 miles away that had never been installed. The savings meant I could have a Morryde pin box installed on the trailer at the same time.

Just wanted to update that I have now used my Pullrite now for the summer and it is much nicer to pull with then the Highjaker was. No weird banging and clunking going around the corners, very smooth. I would for sure get the Pullrite over the Highjacker. But I still don't like needing to have a capture plate.

I have used a Pullrite 18K for nine years. (The only experience I've had with a slider).I feel it is the best way for me to go. I use a hoist to remove and re-install the hitch. I was pulling a Wildcat 30'fifth wheel coming out of Leadville, Co. in 2012 when a pickup ran us off the road. After jackknifing left and right I was able to actuate the manual brake ride on the brake controller and bring us to a straight stop. The only damage to the hitch was the fifth wheel plate cracked but the trailer did not unhitch. That was quite a ride, I feel the hitch did it's job.

That is quite a testimony about the robustness of this hitch...if the force was great enough to crack the capture plate but the hitch held on to the kingpin...can't ask for anything more.

Question for the group....can you use any part of the bed while towing...ie..some firewood in front of the hitch or is it best to leave the bed empty with all the articulation going on?

Thanks!

Just slide the hitch ,limit to limit, the rest of the bed space is okay to use.Remember to maintain clearance between cargo and trailer. I have used this space for bikes, firewood, and junk that DW finds during our trips.

Hitch only slides back. So any space in front is fair game.

Make sure the handle clears articles in the front. You can test it before hitching.

The hitch also slides to each side.

Happy camping.
