I’m satisfied other than the pin being in the wrong hole, once it’s latched I can’t put the safety pin in. But fast shipping. Ordered on a Monday, received by Wednesday around lunch

AWESOME!
I came to etrailer because
I needed a "low profile" 5th wheel hitch. I scrubbed the internet and the closest I came to was a 18" rise. I found just what I needed made by Demco. The price was a little suspect considering even here the price was at least $250 cheaper than anything else on the eTrailer page. I live in Iowa and see Demco grain trailers all over the place and figured farmers don't generally buy the cheapest so what the heck. Before I pressed the "Pay" button I looked at the Demco website, saw they were located in Iowa and gave them a call. I talked with a rep. who said the company bought the hitch line a few years ago from a Canadian company and that they were selling well. When I told them the price from etrailer he said "Buy, you won't find it cheaper at any of our distributors" So back to the "Pay" button. Then it got weird.
Later that day a young lady called me from etrailer to inform me that the item was "out of stock" and did I want to wait, choose something else or get my $ back. I told her that I couldn't beat their deal so I said I'll wait, she said "OK it should ship in two-three weeks". I told her don't ship anything until you can ship the hitch and the rails. Next morning, I got an email, "Your order has shipped" Wait what . . . ?
At that point I jump on the phone and called etrailer's 800 number. Another rep says "can I help you?" I said how do you bend time? she pulled up my order and says "Oh I see what happened, another person had ordered the same hitch and also told them not to ship an incomplete order also" This guy was waiting for something to be completed in June and they reordered the hitch and he would get his whole order also. Cool huh? I love that kind of flexibility in business. Lastly shipping. My product probably came in at 130+ pounds. Everyone else wanted more than $100.00 for shipping, mine was FREE. I would say I saved about $300.00 by buying at etrailer. With a great money back policy you really don't have anything to lose.

  • Correct Base Rails and Brackets for FWH-24PA Demco Hijacker on 01 GMC Sierra 2500HD with 6-1/2 Bed
    The rail kit # DM6014 that you referenced will fit your older Demco 5th wheel hitch if it uses base rails that run side to side. To mount these rails to your 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD with the 6-1/2' bed you need the Universal Mounting Brackets # DM8552009 which require drilling into the frame or the Custom Mounting Brackets # DM8552012 which install in pre-existing holes in your frame so no drilling is required. The FWH-24PA part number that you referenced is actually just the part number...

  • Parts Needed to Install Demco Fifth Wheel Hitch FWH-24P in 1998 Toyota T100
    I could not find a reference to that hitch anywhere. If you could tell me the manufacturer, or possibly send in a photo I may be able to help you; I assume you are looking for the hardware to install and while I cannot guarantee you we have it if I knew the manufacturer and model I could take a look.

  • What 5TH Wheel Rail Kit Is Needed For a 1994 Chevy K3500 To Use Demco Hijacker FWH 24 PA 5TH Wheel?
    The Hijacker FWH 24 PA identifies the 5th wheel hitch head but not the rails it is mounted to. It will require either the standard above bed ISR Rail Kit # DM8552009-71 or the SL Rails # DM6012 with Mounts # DM8553009 for your 1994 Chevrolet K3500. The ISR rails allow the hitch to drop into the rails and are pinned to the rails. The SL rails allows the hitch to slide under the lip on the rails. If you are unsure which you have you can send me an image of the hitch so I can verify the...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Solution for 2006 Dodge Ram
    For a flat bed fifth wheel hitch the Demco Hijacker SL part # DM6076SL-FLAT would be a great options since it is designed for flat bed configurations. For rails you will need the # DM6012. The install of these rails will have to be a custom install done by a qualified fabricator in your area. The rails will need to mount to the frame of your truck and not just to the bed. The hitch will be able to be removed pretty easily when not in use.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Hitch For 2005 Dodge Ram 2500
    For your 2005 Ram 2500, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs, # BWGNRK1313. This is a custom fit for your truck that will give you a gooseneck hitch that will keep your truck bed clean when not in use. If you want 5th wheel rails, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50140-58. This is a custom fit system for your truck.

  • Base Rails and Brackets Needed to Mount Demco FWH-24P SL 21 Hitch on 1969 Ford F-250
    For your older Demco FWH-24P SL 21 Hijacker the correct base rails are the SL Series # DM6012. These base rails are unique to the SL Series hitches like what you have and they will run vertical along the truck bed (as opposed to horizontally across like most do). I called my contact at Demco to find the correct mounting brackets you need to install the rails on your 1969 Ford F-250. He stated that you will need to use the Custom Mounting Brackets # DM8553003. He said that these will fit...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for Flatbed GMC Truck
    For your GMC Topkick flatbed, I recommend the Reese Low-Profile 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 30,000 lbs # RP30054. This 5th wheel hitch is designed for flat bed applications and will require welding a plate as well as bolting the hitch into place. Another option is to use the Demco Hijacker SL part # DM6076SL-FLAT which is also designed for flat bed configurations. For rails you will need the # DM6012. The installation of these rails will have to be a custom install done by...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible with 2000 Chevy 3500 Dually Flat Bed
    When you say you have a 12 foot bed, I can only assume you have a flatbed on your 2000 Chevy 3500 Dually. You have a couple of options for a compatible 5th wheel hitch: B&W Gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1500 along with the B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # BWRVK3050.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for Ram Factory Fifth Wheel Rail Kit
    I wish there was an adapter available, but Demco does not have a way to adapt their SL series fifth wheel hitches to fit the factory rail kit of a Ram like what you have. It would be time for a new hitch all together. The B and W Companion part # BWRVK3600 is a direct fit for the factory rail kit of your truck and would not require an adapter. This hitch is considered by many to be the nicest fifth wheel hitch around so we recommend it very highly.

  • Installation Kit for Older Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Hitch FWH-24P in 2008 Ford F-350 Long Bed
    We can help you with an install kit for your 2008 Ford F-350 long-bed to allow installation of your older Demco Hijacker 5th wheel hitch FWH-24P. My contact at Demco confirmed that if your hitch is labelled Ultra or UL you will use rail kit # DM6014 along with bracket kit # DM8552001. If the hitch is labelled SL you will use rail kit # DM6012 along with bracket kit # DM8553001. If you need an in-bed wiring harness you can use # 50-97-410 which plugs right in at your factory 7-way.

  • Compatible Rails And Mounting Hardware For The Demco Hijacker SL Series Flat Deck 5th Wheel Hitch
    The Demco Hijacker SL Series Flat Deck 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM6076SL-FLAT is only compatible with SL Series rails like # DM6012 so it would not fit the standard fifth wheel base rails you currently have on your flatbed truck. You could replace your current rails with the # DM6012 along with the mounting hardware # DM8553003 to provide compatible rails for the # DM6076SL-FLAT to fit your truck.

    The Demco Custom Mounting Brackets for Demco Hijacker SL Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # DM8553014 does come with the fishe wire required for installation as well as all the hardware. I've attached the parts list with a diagram to assist. I confirmed with my contact at Demco this kit has everything you need including the fishe wire and the base rails so you don't need to purchase # DM6012 separately. The rails included in this kit will have one more hole due the truck frame so they...

  • Available Reese & Demco Low-Profile 5th Wheel Hitches
    We do offer low-profile 5th wheel hitches, part # RP30054 from Reese and part # DM6076SL-FLAT from Demco, but neither of these is intended for industry-standard above-bed 5th wheel base rails. The Reese hitch installs on the frame through custom welding and fabrication; the Demco installs in their own special SL series rails # DM6012.

  • Mounting Dimensions for Demco Hijacker SL Series Flat Deck Hitch on SL Base rails
    I went out to our warehouse to take a look at the Demco SL Series Base Rails # DM6012 that you referenced. There is a set of 3 mounting holes at each end of the rails. The holes are spaced apart 4 inches on center, with a distance of 10 inches between the 2 sets, on center. From the center of the last mounting hole to the edge of the rail at each end there is a distance of 3-1/2 inches. I have attached an image to assist. The left to right measurement on the bolt holes will be dependent...

  • Recommended Clearance Between Truck Bumper and Fifth Wheel/Gooseneck Trailer
    It is generally recommended that you have at least 2 feet between the rear bumper of the truck and the fifth wheel trailer so that you have clearance around corners. I can't recommend you move the fifth wheel hitch behind the axle center as that will unload the front suspension slightly which will affect braking and turning in emergency situations. For a flat bed fifth wheel hitch the Demco Hijacker SL part # DM6076SL-FLAT would be a great options since it is designed for flat bed configurations. For...

  • Can Fifth Wheel Hitch be Installed in Truck with CM Flat Bed
    Fifth wheel rail kits need to attach directly to the frame of the truck. So what you are looking to do is technically possible, but would require some serious modification. For a flat bed fifth wheel hitch the Demco Hijacker SL part # DM6076SL-FLAT would be a great options since it is designed for flat bed configurations. Flat beds are higher than standard truck beds so you need a shorter fifth wheel hitch. For rails you will need the # DM6012. The install of these rails will have to...

  • Gooseneck Adapter For Demco SL Series Base Rails
    The only gooseneck adapter currently available for SL rails is the Demco SL Series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for 5th Wheel Rails # DM5992, which has a 30-1/2" measurement from center to center of the pins. I would double check the measurement on yours as it most likely has the same spacing. If not, you would have to swap out your current rails for the Base Rails for Demco SL Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # DM6012.

    I just called my contact at Demco and if your fifth wheel trailer weighs 13,000-lbs or less, we have a fifth wheel setup that will work for you. You would need part # DM8550040. This is the Demco Autoslide and it has 22-1/2 inches of travel, which will work great for 5-1/2 and 6-ft truck beds. The Hijacker SL Series fifth wheel like part # DM6076SL-16K, does not give you enough travel with a 5-1/2 ft truck bed. The DM6076SL-16K has 8-inches of travel. The above-bed rails and under-bed...
