Fairly easy to install. Wasn't expecting them to be so heavy. They worked fine in the bed of my 2013 F250.

  • Demco Hijacker Pin Distances and Rails For 2014 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    The Pins on the Demco Hijacker SL series measure 29 inches apart from left to right and 22 inches from front to back. If you already have rails in the 2014 Ford F-250 or F-350 without OEM Prep package Super Duty and are trying to make sure the hitch will line up with them, the Hijacker does not use industry standard rails.

  • Will the Custom Installation Kit # DM8553000-12 Fit with a B&W Gooseneck Hitch on a 2015 Ford F-350
    The Custom Installation Kit # DM8553000-12, which is confirmed to fit your 2015 Ford F-350 short bed, uses the same mounting locations as the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1111 so one will need to be removed to use the other.

Typically we would recommend the Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter # DM6140 but that won't work with the Demco Hijacker SL Series # DM6076SL-21K...

  • Options To Eliminate Excessive Gap Between Truck Bed Rails And Fifth Wheel Trailer
    There are a couple things you can do to eliminate the gap you have between your F-250 and the fifth wheel trailer. If you have a lift kit on the truck you can remove it. The second option would be to remove your fifth wheel hitch and rails and replace it with a fifth wheel hitch like the Demco Hijacker SL Series Flat Deck 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # DM6076SL-FLAT. The hitch height when installed is 10 inches. Since you cannot use a slider with the Sidewinder you will need to lock...
