SuperGlide and Demco Highjacker Auto-Sliding 5TH Wheel Hitches Locking Plates For Basic Pin Boxes

Question:

Can I use my superglide to pull a normal 5th wheel that does not have a capture plate installed?

On your SuperGlide Auto sliding 5th wheel hitch you must always have a capture plate with any 5th wheel pin box.

The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550035 will allow you to use most normal 5th wheel hitches that use a pin box that measures between 12" and 14" wide. Locking plates are only required for cushioned and other specialty pin boxes that do not fall into the 12"-14" pin box width.
