The Demco Hijacker hitches like the part # DM8550034 are pretty particular about how straight your truck is relative to the trailer. Anytime we've seen issues with people having a hard time coupling with this hitch the problem has been that they aren't backing up totally parallel to the same direction as the trailer.
