- What is the Best Automatic Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2024 Ford F-250
- Hey Earl, thanks for reaching out!
There are two main competitors for the top spot of automatic 5th wheel hitches; the Demco Hijacker and the PullRite SuperGlide. While we only carry the Hijacker, I've looked into the SuperGlide enough that I can point out the main differences and why the Hijacker edges past the SuperGlide.
Both options feature 14" of sliding clearance and can be installed in either OEM puck systems or industry standard rails (ISR), but there are the main differences...

- No, I am sorry you can not. The AMPLock King Pin Lock item # AMP27FR doesn't have an option to be keyed alike. The only king pin lock I do have that you can get keyed alike is the etrailer item # e98896. You'll need to order all 10 at the same time and select the keyed alike option in the drop down above add to cart.

- Hey Pat, in some cases slider hitches won't work properly if the rails they are installed in aren't perfectly parallel. You might measure the distance between the rails to see if it matches on both sides. If a rail somehow got bent or damaged this could cause this as well.
Without knowing the actual hitch you are using, I can only give you general info. Sometimes with this issue it is because you are taking too much weight off the hitch. The hitch needs a certain amount of weight on it...

- Hey Matt, so the correct Reese Goose Box you'd need for your 2024 Jayco Eagle 29DDB would be the part # RP85FR which fits the Rhino as well as the other standard Lippert pin boxes that your Jayco would have came with although we are pretty sure it is a Rhino.
Since your 2024 Ram 2500 is a short bed I would recommend going with an offset ball to fit the OEM pucks like the Gen-Y part # GY83XR which provides 5 inches of offset.

view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2021 Ram 2500 With RamBoxes
- With your truck having RamBoxes that definitely complicates things, but we got you covered. To start, you are going to need to swap out your current pin box with a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret # RP77FR, unfortunately.
It's not going to be as simple as to just drop a hitch in the bed - you're going to need a bit more. So from here, you'd then be able drop in a hitch # RP30928 and a rail kit # RP56009-53.
view full answer... - How To Find Out If The Reese Spacer Kit Works With Reese Airborne Sidewinder On 2024 Artic Fox
- To verify the Spacer Kit # RP61301 will work on your particular Reese Airborne Sidewinder I will need to know the model number off the pin box as well as the LCI frame tag located on the mounting arm of your 2024 Artic Fox 27-5. With these numbers I will be able to verify the bolt patterns are all going to line up correctly as there are several different possibilities out there and not all model 5th wheels will always use the same pin box.

- Hey Damon, thanks for the pictures of your camper. Based on that you would definitely need a slider hitch as the nose of your camper is as wide as they come and also your pin box isn't' extended. But no worries on that as that's what slider hitches were designed to work with so for the bed of your 2024 GMC 3500 Sierra short bed the Companion you'd want is the slider version part # BWRVK3775.

- Hey Gary, Since the Road Armor shock absorbing pin box can rotate forward and back you would need to lock out the pin box to use it with the Andersen Ultimate part # AM3200. That kit is not a part number we offer but it is 3294 from Andersen.
view full answer... - Is Light Kit Needed for Covered Bike Rack at Rear of Fifth Wheel Trailer
- Hey Tom so I definitely know what you are asking for but due to the very minimalistic design of the Kuat Transfer part # KU84FR there isn't a great way to add lights to it. But the good news is that you most likely don't need additional lights. Reason being that fifth wheel trailer taillights are often at the widest points on the trailer which is typically around 80 inches in width and your bike would definitely not be that long so your taillights SHOULD be visible on either side. Some...

- From previous customers with a 2020 Montana High Country we have determined that your 295RL most likely comes with the 1116 pin box so for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the part # GY43FR. If your current pin box is 12-1/2 inches wide then this is accurate. If instead you find it's 12 inches wide you'd need the part # GY36FR as you instead of the 1621 pin box.
view full answer... - Recommended 5TH Wheel Hitch For a 2023 Ford F-150 With 5-1/2' Short Bed
- There are only 2 ways I would tow a 2015 Grand Design Reflection 27RL behind your 2023 Ford F-150. Both ways are going to require having 5th Wheel Rails # DM8552028-71. Then I would either use the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550040 which is my preference since it can easily be used with different 5th wheels. Or you could use a Fixed 5TH Wheel # C16115 but would then need to have a pivoting pin box like the Reese Sidewinder # RP34FR and a Wedge # RP64FR.

view full answer... - How Much Sag Reduction will Timbren Installed On Truck Towing Fifth Wheel
- Hey Brian, this is a great question but I can't really tell you exactly how much sag would be reduced with the Timbren kit part # TGMRCK25D but I'd say it would pretty easily take out at least half of the sag. I'd say under normal circumstances it would sag probably right at 1 to 1-1/2 inches.
If you are slightly nose high currently then yeah I would assume you'd need to slightly adjust the hitch head height.
view full answer... - Is Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Needed For 2021 Ram 2500 6-1/2 Foot Bed & Puck System
- Hi Nic,
Generally yes, for a truck bed under 8 feet long like on your 2021 Ram 2500 you do need a sliding 5th wheel hitch. That said, there are 5th wheel trailers that have a tapered nose designed to allow the use of fixed 5th wheel hitches as they won't contact the cab on right turns, so if that's the type of trailer you have, then a sliding hitch isn't needed.
With that in mind, the hitch I love for your 2021 Ram 2500 with the puck system is the Curt A20 due to its ease of use and...
view full answer... - Will Curt Q25 for Ram OEM Puck Kit Fit 2023 Ram 2500 Short Bed
- Yes, the Cut Q25 fifth wheel hitch part # C16049 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for the OEM pucks of your 2023 Ram 2500 short bed. While this says its' for the long bed truck it would fit just fine in a short bed truck as well.
Typically la short bed truck will need a slider hitch to provide enough clearance to make tight turns which is why this is listed for long bed trucks but if the trailer has an extended pin box and a tapered nose we have found that sliders aren't needed.

- Hi Wally,
To determine if the truck can tow the trailer you'd need to subtract your truck's curb weight from its Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating (GCVWR). This information can typically be found in the owner's manual, on the driver's side door jamb, or on a sticker in the glove box. Once you have this number you can compare it to the GVWR of the trailer to see if the truck is capable of safely towing it.
Adding air springs in to help support the suspension would definitely be a good...

- The ST200 turret for the # 5AS16K has been discontinued. You may be able to find it still but I wasn't able to when I ran a quick search. At this time, the only Sidewinder we offer that fits the 1621 is the # RP34FR. Also, you aren't hearing from Reese because they're owned by First Brands now. Ever since this change the wait times on the phone are extremely long and many of their parts are gone or on indefinite backorder.
The # RP34FR will help with clearance but it won't do anything...
