Pullright or Hijacker AutoSlide?

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!

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.

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.

I used a SuperGlide for 3 years, 2 years fulltiming.

I'm curious about the Mor Ryde pin box. Did you tow with the Pullrite before you put the Mor Ryde on? If so, how much and in what way did the Mor Ryde reduce the action of the 5th wheel on the truck? Thanks for any info!

Crcr, I did not have the Morryde Pinbox befor the Superglide. Had thought about it a lot but did it at the same time as the Superglide. That being said, I have felt a few times what I believe to be the flex of the Morryde. I credit the combination of the two to reducing the amount of chucking I used to have.

I had Mor Ryde with my Superglide. The Mor Ryde was already on the 5th wheel when I purchased it, but that in combination with the ISR Superglide was a very strong and stable combination. I really liked the ride and feel of it when towing.

One other thing I had on that truck was the Ride-Rite airbags as well. With all three (Superglide, Mor Ryde, Ride-Rite) it was a dang good setup. I would certainly recommend it. This was all on a F350 SRW pulling a Keystone Alpine 40ft 5th wheel.

Cheers,

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.
