I had the Highjacker in my 08 Dodge. All in all it was a great hitch and I liked it except for one thing. When pulling out of a corner you would get some slack in the hitch that would cause a big bang and jerk. The cause is in how the Highjaker slides back, it transitions from a side bar to a gear system, it is transferring from slide bar to gear that causes the issue.
I just got a Pullrite 18K but I have not pulled with it yet, it is lighter then the Highjacker to move around though. I prefer the slide bar lock on the Highjacker. Also hate that you have to use a capture plate on the Pullrite, don't know why they don't build it into the head like the Highjacker. Will be a couple weeks before I can say how the Pullrite pulls.
