Features of Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034

Question:

I own a 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 with a 6 ft bed. I am interested in the 18,000 lb Demco DM8550034 Slider hitch. I want a unit that is safe, reliable and problem free and was wondering what your thoughts are on this unit. I will be attaching it to existing above bed Reese rails.

The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th wheel slider hitch # DM8550034 offers the advantage of automatic operation of the slide mechanism - no need to stop the truck, operate the slide, maneuver the trailer, lock the slide, etc. It also has the advantage of offering 14-inches of slider travel, more than many competing hitches which typically top out at 10-, 11- or 12-inches of travel. It also provides for three height settings: 15-1/4, 16-1/2, and 18-inches.

The Demco Hijacker Autoslide also offers an excellent jaw system that provides 360-degree contact that is further stabilized with a 3/4-inch thick solid steel locking bar. This will ensure as chucking-free a towing experience as you're likely to find.

This is a thoroughly and thoughtfully engineered hitch system that I can confidently recommend to you. Please refer to the linked video for more on this quality USA-made product.
