Demco auto slide hitch works very well with my crew cab short bed Ram. Fits under my tonneau cover nicely. Trouble free thus far. Had to purchase a Demco plate for the camper to make the Rhino box hitch work. etrailer personnel were great in helping ensure I had the right products and kept me well informed of shipping dates.

Included instructions are clear and concise. Adapter is heavy, (85lbs) recommend two people to safely lift into truck bed. Need the following tools for installation: 9/16 socket, ratchet, torque wrench and some type of grease or lubrication for the locking studs. My 20k Pullrite Superslide hitch attached easily to the inner slots.

This is an excellent product. It arrived 1 day after ordering it. It had very good instructions that were easy to follow. It only took me 20 minutes to install. It fit tight, but perfectly. It will be the perfect base for the Demco autoslider that I'm going to put on it. I'm using it in my 2018 Ram 2500 Crew cab to pull a Keystone Cougar Half ton fifth wheel.

It's a good quality produce built well. It's heavy but that just gives you confidence when you hit those unions where the bride engineers and the road engineers didn't agree.

@DanL Great! We're glad to hear that!!


by:

It works as advertised. However, it adds bulk / weight but unfortunately it is required because the autoslider hitch I purchased does not come custom all-in-one for my 2020 Ram 3500 OEM puck system.



by:

After minor adjustments installation was ok. Instruction were clear. My pullrite superglide fit perfectly. Thanks for this great product and etrailer I am going to have a great camping season.

A BIG THANK YOU to Jenny and her crew at etrailer.com. I had originally bought this puck rail adapter from Amazon and I did not take the poor reviews to heart. My mistake. On a time crunch and missing parts later, I realized I should have gone with etrailer earlier. They are a reputable business and they had AWESOME customer service and fast delivery. Jenny kept me updated on the shipment and even sent a follow email once the adapter showed delivered in their system!!!! I learned my lesson and should have done it right the first time and gone with etrailer (and they had it for the same great price). The adapter was super easy to install. Thanks again, Corey (life long customer from now on).

Hitch installed Easily and took only 15 Min.

E-trailer is a first class company and service is outstanding. Shipping is fast and customer service reps are very nice, friendly, and know their product. I am so pleased with the way my order was handled and if the need arises, I will order from this company again. If you need any parts for trailers or towing, give them a chance to prove how good their products and service really is. First class all the way

Shipped to a small campground where we installed on a new truck after our old truck died.
Easy to install and adjust



by:

Good morning. The UPS delivery driver showed me the box which was damaged and ripped open exposing the product. It doesn't appear damaged, but I won't know until I try to fit it to my truck of which I haven't taken delivery of yet. I would suggest packing these types of items in a wooden frame or box to prevent this. The item looks very solid and I will be able to rate it in the near future.

Ordered with the Demco 16k Hitch. This unit installed in the factory pucks of my Ram 2500 with little fuss. Very happy with eTrailer and Demco.

Fit perfect. Good instructions make it raise to assemble.
ETrailer provides excellent service and advise.



by:
2018 Ram 2500

Great product and I'd buy it again. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is due to powder coating inside two of the holes. One I was able to scratch away at with a pick and get the bolt to thread, the other I ended up getting by undoing what I had installed, lifted the thing up, and threaded it in from underneath all the way through to clear it out. I do not have a tap and die set. If you buy this, I'd recommend checking to make sure the bolts go in every hole prior to installing it, to save on time.



by:

Easy install. The only problem I had was the bolt pattern was a little tight to work with around the puck locks.

Thank you

Bought this adapter for a new Ram 3500 to use with my DEMCO Autoslde 5th wheel hitch. That hitch was used in an older Ram with above bed standard rails installed. I installed the rail adapter in the puc system with only minor adjustment issues. So far so good. Lifted my DEMCO hitch into my truck and tried to fit in the “standard” rail slots only to find out it didn’t fit. Turns out my DEMCO autoslide is an older model that was built in Canada and the platform is wider than newer DEMCO and other brand hitches. Lesson learned, standard doesn’t always mean standard. Talked to DEMCO rep and was told this adapter was made with only 4 holes on each rail for appearance unlike other above rail systems that have multiple holes to accommodate hitches like my model. Nowhere on this site or the DEMCO site do they state this adapter WILL NOT accept older DEMCO hitches nor do they provide width dimensions for the limited holes in the adapter. Now I’m waiting for my new 5th wheel hitch that will fit this adapter. As you might expect, I’m not a happy camper!



by:

The truck bed rail adapter required moving two of the shims for a proper fit, but this was done fairly quickly. Once the shims were moved, the part fit properly into my truck bed. The next step (adding the Auto Slide 5th Wheel Hitch) into the rail adapter went off without any problems. I would definitely recommend having two people to move the hitch into place, or have an overhead hoist to help to install the hitch. It is heavier than I expected but it fit perfectly into the bed rail adapter.



by:

This is a well built product. Can't go wrong with this setup. Easy as 1,2,3 no tools required, just a little muscle. Weight 70 lbs.

I have researched purchasing a "Sliding Fifth Wheel" extensively. Researched the few that are on the market. Without a doubt hands down the very best designed & fabricated unit for the job is the "Demco Model #6107 21K Autoslide. The workmanship on design & build is "Impeccable" second to none! Secondly when I decided to purchase this unit I went with "etrailer". Paula at etrailer knew this product "Inside & Out". She answered all my questions and gave additional info on this 5th. wheel. It was delivered exactly when she said it would and it was secured to a wooden pallet and every piece was packed the tightly and shipping foam to protect it. Upon opening all the exterior shipping protection material it looked even better then on the computer screen. I am more then happy with this slider and the personable service Paula and etrailer provided. Thanks Again Paula.

  • Easiest to Use Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Ram 2500 Short Bed with Rail Kit
    The best fifth wheel hitch recommendation I can make for you is the Demco Hijacker AutoSlide part # DM8550034 because this hitch automatically slides back as you make tight turns to give you the needed clearance without forcing you to get out of the truck ever. To fit the hitch to the factory rail kit of your 2018 Ram 2500 you'd need the Demco Ram rail adapter part # DM6099. With this installed the hitch will easily install. I attached an install video for both the truck and rail kit...

  • Which is Better Curt A Series or Q Series for Ram Fifth Wheel Rail Kit
    The Curt A series fifth wheel hitches are actually an updated version of the Q series are definitely the way to go. Biggest improvement is a better jaw design that holds the king pin of the trailer tighter for a much quieter and smoother ride quality. The A20 for the Ram rail kit of your 2019 Ram 3500 long bed part # C16044 would be a really great choice that we recommend highly.

    Yes, the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099 referenced in your question, which will drop right into the factory pucks on your 2016 Ram 2500, will work perfectly with your Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30051.

  • Best Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Ram 2500 Short Bed with Fifth Wheel Rail Kit
    I have a great solution for you. The easy to use slider fifth wheel hitch I recommend for your 2018 Ram 2500 short bed with factory rail kit is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550034 with the Ram Rail Kit adapter part # DM6099. The hitch is the easiest to use option because unlike other manual sliders that require you to get out and operate them when needed this one will automatically slide back as you make tight turns so you don't ever have to think about it.

    Good news, I can help you find what you need for your 2016 Ram 2500. The Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # RP30154 will allow you to mount a sliding hitch. It is important to note that this setup may still not give you the turning clearance you are looking for and you could instead go with a fixed hitch like # PS30121 and a Sidewinder, like the one that fits a Lippert 1621 box # RP34FR and has a weight rating of 20K, to accommodate that need.

  • Autosliding 5th Wheel Hitch and Suspension Enhancement for a 2017 Ram 3500 with Factory Prep Package
    We have the perfect solution for you to tow your new 2017 Solitude 384GK with your 2017 Ram 3500 with a 6 foot bed. I looked up your 5th wheel trailer online and found that it has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 16,000 lbs. The Mopar 25K would definitely be able to handle that weight, but you are exactly right. With a 6 foot bed you will need a sliding 5th wheel hitch to avoid damaging your 3500 when making those tight turns. The Demco 5th wheel hitches with the Autosliding feature...

  • Solution for Offset Convert-A-Ball Hitting Bed Rails on 218 Ram 2500 Short Bed
    You can try the non-offset Convert-A-Ball # CAB-C5G instead of the part # CAB-C5GX1216 but since your 2018 Ram 2500 has the 6-1/2' bed I'm pretty sure you're going to run into cab clearance issues. If the distance from the center of your 5th wheel king pin is greater than half the width of your trailer by 4" then you won't have any problems making a 90 degree turn with this setup. Another possible option for you is the Demco Recon # DM8550045 which has a 3" offset. If adding 3" to your...

You can use the B&W Patriot Slider # BWRVK3270 with either the Reese Rail Adapter # RP30154 or the Demco # DM6099, which utilize your OEM prep package on the 2017 Ram 3500 to give you industry standard base rails to mount a 5th wheel hitch. Both of these rail kits will drop into your factory pucks for easy installation and removal.
