Comparing Demco Hijacker Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitches for 2019 Ford F-350 With OEM Pucks
Question:
My 2019 Ford F-350 short bed has the factory puck system. I love the Demco Hijacker with the autoslide. Is there a difference between the 18K and 21K models apart from weight rating?
asked by: Nate D
Expert Reply:
Aside from the weight rating there is really only one very slight difference; the 21K Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550038 has a diamond tread pattern on the base while the 18K Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550024 does not have this pattern.
That diamond tread pattern is only for aesthetics and does not affect the hitch in any way.
You are not alone in loving the Hijacker as it is one of the best and most popular fifth wheel hitches we sell for a reason. It will fit directly in the pucks of your 2019 Ford F-350, uses a single-piece jaw to ensure the connection with your king pin is complete and has the ultimate in convenience features with the autoslide mechanism.
Not having to get out of your truck simply to make a tight turn really is one of those things that you don't know you needed until you experience it.
