Pullright or Hijacker AutoSlide?
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 ...

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!
