Easiest Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch to use with 2019 Ford F-250 with Factory Puck System
Question:
What sliding 5th wheel trailer hitch is the absolute easiest to use for a short bed 2019 Ford F-250? I have the factory puck system and I do not want to use an adapter for the fifth wheel hitch like I know some require. I just want the hitch to fit right in those pucks. Thanks!

If you want the best and easiest to use sliding fifth wheel hitch for your 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty then you want the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch.
The Hijacker will fit directly in the pucks of your '19 F-250 Super Duty without any type of adapter and is available in two different capacities, 18,000 lbs # DM8550024 and 21,000 lbs # DM8550038.
There is not an easier sliding hitch to use than the Hijacker because it is the only hitch that doesn't require you to do anything at all to get the benefit of a sliding fifth wheel hitch. Make a sharp turn and the head unit of the Hijacker will automatically slide to your tailgate and then back to the cab when you straighten your truck. At about the 1:15 mark of this linked review video you can see the hitch slide as it turns.
The Hijacker has a rotating hitch head, which turns up to 90 degrees and the rotation of the head is exactly what propels the hitch to slide, creating the easiest-to-use sliding hitch on the market.
Apart from how simple the Hijacker is to use, it is also a premium hitch in regards to towing. It has a single-piece jaw which wraps around your king pin and when this jaw closes, the already supremely secure connection gets reinforced with a 3/4" steel bar that automatically locks in place.
Both Hijackers, the 18,000 lb model # DM8550024 and 21,000 lb model # DM8550038 give you 14 inches of front-to-back travel, have three different height settings (15-1/2", 16-3/4", and 18-1/4") and are made in the USA.
