While you are correct that there are other autosliding 5th wheel hitch options out there, we currently (December of 2019) only carry the Demco Hijacker solution for a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 with the factory prep package and this includes the Rail Adapter Kit # DM6333 along with either the 18K # DM8550034 or the 21K # DM8550035 Hijacker.
I know you mentioned the PullRite SuperGlide and while that is a viable option that does a great job, the Hijacker actually has more to offer. The Hijacker has a superior jaw system that holds the king pin directly in the middle and reinforces it with a 3/4" locking bar (as opposed to the pinning the king pin to the side), it has 3 different height settings (the SuperGlide only has 1), and the Hijacker has built-in brackets to stabilize the pin box which means there are only a few special pin boxes that need a capture plate.
So basically the Hijacker has a better jaw system, more height settings, and lees of a chance that you need a capture plate and all at a competitive price-point which makes it the clear winner in my book.
I'm not aware of any other autosliding 5th wheel hitches but if you let me know which one you're talking about I'd be more than happy to do a comparison of the Hijacker to that as well!
