The Demco Slider will work in your 2019 Ford F-450 Super Duty but you will need the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ford OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 25,000 lbs item #DM6175. This will allow you to attach your slider to the different puck…

There are no notes or warnings from Demco regarding using a HiJacker in a lower setting on your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500. And it looks like there is a ton of space available based on your picture. And the gearing is higher up than the lowest part of the…

The gears of the 21k Demco Hijacker #DM8550035 are a bit heavier duty than the 18k capacity version #DM8550034 to allow it to have a higher capacity. The lighter duty hitch weighs 276 lbs and the heavier duty version weighs 308 lbs. To install this…
