Slider

Some forget there is an adapter on the kingpin using the Superglide that has to be removed in order to use a conventional hitch. I’ve also heard of them even being tack welded on , creating a bigger issue .

For you guys with hitch conversions such as Anderson, Pullrite, etc., don’t you worry about having your rig towed by a tow truck due to a breakdown?

No, because I can remove the adapter in about five minutes. I’m an AUH user.

And I carry the tools necessary, that is not an issue. Some have tried to make it some kind of drawback with the Andersen. Yes a five minute job .

Ive seen those hitches but being new to fifth wheel towing, after pulling a TT for 14 years, I was concerned with clearance issues. The Anderson will allow full rotation so in theory, you could jack knife into the cab. We have a short bed CC and that's a concern. So my choice was the Pullrite slider. My driveway doesn't have a lot of clearance and I jack knife the Pullrite in order to back in. I need 90 degrees. I went for the Automatic slider as after towing and unhitching or dropping the weight bars in the rain on the TT's, I just wanted to spoil my self and not think about it. That said I do see the Anderson especially on commercial tows, like car trailer transports. So they must be very good hitches as well and easy to remove so you have a flat bed again.

I went to an Andersen Hitch Dealer. He tried to tell me it wouldn't work. I told him come on Guys. I have been a member of rv.net for 15 years. Many people love those hitches. You need to get educated about your product if you are going to sell them.

I had a 05 Dodge with the Pullrite. It is the standard of comparison. You never need to enter the bed to hitch or unhitch with this unit. The handle for unhitching is accessible from outside. You do not need to latch when hitching -- that's automatic. You will need a slider of some type.

There are many that tow with an Andersen with a short bed Ram ,no slider involved . Not sure what your statements are all about , Pullrite is the standard for comparison , and you need a slider of some type.
