Since we don't carry the PullRite line I can't really speak to their quality but from what I can see from there website their 2900 model is fairly similar to the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # DM89GV. Both hitches offer 14" of additional clearance and will automatically slide back as you start to turn. Both will also require a capture plate to connect to the pin box, and could possibly also require to you purchase a special capture plate depending on the style of pin box you have.

As for the differences, the Demco has a 21,000lb GTW and 5,250lb pin weight capacity whereas the PullRite has a 20,000lb GTW and 5,000lb pin weight capacity. The PullRite hitch has a set height of 18.5", whereas the Demco has three height settings at 15-1/2", 16-3/4", and 18-1/4" to help keep your trailer level while you tow. The Demco also has a much nicer looking aesthetic to it versus the PullRite, which looks more like a prototype hitch.

Demco has great customer service as well and has always been helpful whenever I have a question, which speaks volumes to me about their products. If I were to choose I'd have to pick the Demco # DM89GV.
