We do indeed have an auto sliding 5th wheel hitch.

The Demco Hijacker Autoslide is available in an 18K capacity as # DM8550022 or in a 21K capacity as part # DM8550037. Both hitches install using Demco's under-bed rail kit, part # DM8551000.

For a Hijacker Autoslide that mounts to industry standard rails that install on the surface of the truck bed, use # DM8550034 for the 18K or # DM8550035 for the 21K model. These hitches would use the # DM8552006-71 bracket/rail kit.

If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed, you can do so using part # C56000.

I've linked to some product videos that you might find helpful.

The 7290 that you see is a casting number. It is found on AL-KO hubs that fit #99 spindles. I found that the bearings used are #28580 which would be the inner bearing and #25580 which would be the outer bearing. For the seal use #91030.
