Question:
Can you hook up or unhook at an angle with the demco auto slide
asked by: Dustin V
Expert Reply:
The Demco 18K Hijacker Autoslide 5th wheel hitch # DM8550034 has a double-pivoting head that makes for easier hitching on uneven ground. You can hitch at up to a 15-degree angle. In a 2016 Ram 2500 short-bed with the Ram factory rail kit this hitch will install using under-bed adapter # DM6099.
We also have 5th wheel slider hitches that can drop directly into the factory pucks in the bed, without need for any adapter, such as the outstanding B&W 20K Companion Slider hitch # BWRVK3670. This also features a double-pivoting head and a manual slider with 12-inches of travel.
