This hitch is made for serious hauling, rated at 21,000 lbs GTW with solid steel construction and a corrosion-resistant powder coat finish. The fixed fifth-wheel design uses a wraparound, single-piece jaw that gives full 360-degree king pin contact. The added 3/4" thick locking bar reinforces the connection so you get a tight, secure fit with less rattle and slack. When you’re towing heavy loads cross-country, that solid hookup makes all the difference in stability and confidence.
The double-pivot head moves both front to back and side to side to keep things smooth when the road gets rough. Three polyurethane dampeners help absorb shock and cut down on clanking so the trailer settles in behind you without constant noise or bounce. When you back in to hitch up, the head automatically pivots to the right angle—no fighting it into place.
The unique underbed (UMS) mounting system drops directly into four receiver pucks built into the truck’s bed rails. You just turn the handles to lock it in or pull them to lift it out when you want full bed access. The side plates bolt to the base and give you four height settings from 16" to 19", so you can dial in your setup for level towing. Plugs are included to keep dirt and moisture out of the receivers when the hitch isn’t installed.
Once the jaw closes around the king pin, a solid locking bar automatically slides into place for backup security. The spring-loaded handle with a comfort grip makes coupling simple without needing extra tools or leverage. A tethered safety pin keeps the handle locked open or closed so there’s no guesswork about whether you’re ready to tow.

The hitch functions great but the finish is peeling off in places.

After a year, my only complaint is still paintcoating.

Still very satisfied with the fifth wheel. Weve towed our 42ft fifth wheel with it several times without any problems with the hitch. Hopkins up and unhooking with no problems at all. We would highly recommend this product.

Fantastic after a full year of use. 5er weighs 16k and no lurching. Also very nice when parking on an un level surface... Just hook up and go! I have done 9 trips with about 5k total miles so far. It is very easy to remove-even after back surgery. Highly recommend.

The Demco Hijacker is compatible with any standard pinbox, and should work well with your new fifth wheel.

One year down and I am going strong with several more in the future! I have no complaints with this hitch. I recommend it to everyone that asks about it. Thanks again.

Thanks for the detailed review! Glad to hear the installation went smoothly and you're happy with the features of the Demco hitch. Being able to remove the head separately definitely makes getting it in and out of the truck more manageable.
