Is Demco Hijacker Autoslide Compatible With Rota-Flex Pin Box On Fifth Wheel Trailer
Question:
hello, i am purchasing a fifth wheel that has a Rota-Flex Suspension Pin Box. i am looking at the demco autoslider for my 2015 F250 super duty shortbed. its hard getting info on compatibility on the hitch and my pin box combination. will i have any issues? this is my first purchase of a hitch and like the auto-slide concept but do not see many on the market. reviews have rated this hitch fairly high but a negative says you have to be very straight to get it to hook up. any advice is welcome.

The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider, part # DM8550024 will work great with your 2015 F-250 with the factory rail kit. And it will also work well with the Rota-Flex pin box on your new trailer.
The Autoslide give you 14-inches front to back travel so you can execute those short turns. And the great thing is you do not have to exit the truck cab to set the manual slider. This will automatically slide and then go back when you straighten out.
If you need a 7-way wiring harness in the bed of your truck for your fifth wheel I recommend part # 41157.
