Features to know about
Built for Confident, Heavy-Duty Towing: 18,000 lbs GTW and 4,500 lbs Vertical Load Limit
This hitch is designed to pull serious weight—rated at 18,000 lbs gross towing weight and a 4,500 lbs vertical load limit. The heavy-duty steel build and rust-resistant black powder coat finish give it the strength and durability needed for long hauls. It’s a solid setup that feels steady when hooked up and inspires confidence every time you tow.
Automatic Sliding Action for Tight Turns: 14" of Fore/Aft Travel
For short-bed setups where turning space is tight, the automatic slider delivers 14" of fore and aft travel without you ever leaving the driver’s seat. The built-in rack-and-pinion gear system moves the hitch smoothly toward the tailgate when you turn and back to center when you straighten out. It’s a precise, controlled motion that prevents binding and gives you the clearance needed to maneuver in parking lots or campgrounds.
Smooth, Secure Connection: Wraparound Jaw with Solid Locking Bar
The wraparound single-piece jaw completely surrounds the king pin for 360-degree contact, keeping the connection snug and quiet on the road. A 3/4" thick solid steel locking bar reinforces that connection, automatically locking into place when the jaw closes. Together they create a secure link that minimizes rattle and chucking, making each trip quieter and more stable.
Comfortable Ride on Every Road: Double-Pivot Head with Polyurethane Dampeners
The double-pivot hitch head moves front to back and side to side to help level out bumps and rough stretches. Three polyurethane dampeners absorb road shock and cut down on towing noise so everything feels smoother behind the wheel. This cushioned motion also makes hitching easier since the head automatically pivots into position when it meets your pin box.
Quick Mounting with Built-In Adapter for OEM Prep Package
Setup is straightforward with the included rail adapter made for factory prep systems. Drop the base into the puck receivers, pin it in place, bolt on the side plates, and attach the head—it’s that simple. Three height settings (16-1/2", 17-3/4", and 19-1/4") let you fine-tune your setup for level towing, while built-in brackets stabilize your pin box without needing a separate capture plate for standard pin boxes.

Video Transcript for Review of Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter - DM6200
Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter Now, this adapter is specifically designed to fit your 2016 and newer Nissan Titan XD with a 6.5 foot bed with the OEM integrated Gooseneck and then your 2017 to 2019 Nissan Titan XD with an eight foot bed, again with the OEM integrated gooseneck. Now, on custom fit parts such as this adapter, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your truck and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, this adapter is going to be perfect if you want to use your standard 5th wheel trailer hitch with your Titan XD truck's factory-installed underbed 5th wheel mounting kit.
This is going to let you use your 5th wheel trailer hitch that attaches to the standard above bed rails. However, I do wanna point out that this adapter will not work with the B&W Patriot sliding hitch. So just so you're aware of that. Now this is going to mount to the two OEM pucks. And then the center shaft that you see there, that's going to insert into the gooseneck ball hole in your Titan's bed.
So with this little bit closer underside view, hopefully you can see these pins here. Those pins are what's gonna drop into the the puck there, and then that center shaft is going to drop into that gooseneck ball hole. Now, this does use a ball bearing locking system. So right now I have it locked, but let me go ahead and unlock this. So this does include this thumbscrew with a washer.
So I'm gonna go ahead and remove that thumbscrew. And then if you just turn that slightly, taking another view close up, as you can see, hopefully those ball bearings are loose in there, so they're not secured. But after you have this dropped into place, into that puck system and into the gooseneck ball hole, you're just going to turn this latch like so. That's going to secure those ball bearings and make them to where they're not gonna be able to go back into the shaft. Insert the thumbscrew, tighten it down.
And then taking a closer look here, those balls are going to be secured into place. So hopefully you can see that. So this is made here in the USA of a rust-resistant black powder-coated steel construction. So this is very strong, very robust, very durable. This has a maximum capacity of 21,000 pounds. Instructions are included to guide you through the very simple installation process. However, I do wanna point out that even though this is going to be a very easy setup, a very easy install, this is a very heavy adapter. So you do wanna make sure that you have at least another person with you to help you lift this into your truck bed and then drop it into place. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.

Very well built. Will need some sort of hoist to place in the truck bed. Need to verify your minimum hitch height as this one will only go down to 16 1/2”.

Don’t recommend trying to muscle by yourself. I’d recommend a cherry picker if you have one or a good buddy. Not light, which I think is a good thing! Goes together smoothly! Built extremely well. Fits perfectly with titanium box and a bed cover when not in use.

My wife and I are full-time RVers, and have used this slider hitch from the get-go while traveling around seeing the country over the past year. We are happy with our purchase, which has proven to be both easy to hook up, adjust, and functions well, as advertised.
The only matter I think you may want to address are the thick plastic removable maintenance access covers which tend to bow, and the areas around the attachment holes have melted, in the hot weather. Perhaps instead using a light metal for the covers would be better solution.
We are very happy overall with this hitch, and plan to keep it . Thank you.

The new lower base for the Demco hitch arrived on Tuesday via Freight it was a great interaction the driver I actually knew from a previous delivery, me and a friend were able to lift the old one out of the bed of my truck and install the new one today and all I have to say is...
PERFECT FIT!
It appears that Demco has already redesigned the lower base compared to my original one to prevent this problem from happening again. I was actually kind of shocked to see that upgrade and change.
I cannot say enough good words about you with etrailer and Demco working with me to get this problem solvedm Yes it took a little bit of work, ultimately this time we got it. I cannot thank you guys enough.
My friend and I will be finalizing the installation and getting it locked down to the bed with a few custom spacers for the lower rails this weekend.
Here are a few pictures of the installation resuming. If I remember , when I finally pick up my new camper, I'll send some pictures along too. Have to give credit where credit is due . Not sure of you have a customer wall at HQ. I know we had one in my old shop.
Anyway.. thank you again .

I have owned this unit for over a year now. Here are the pro's and cons that I have experienced.
Pro- I have pulled with this hitch in some really tight spaces in forward and reverse and still have the rear window in tact.
Con- Heavy, really heavy.
Pro- heavy duty,smooth riding, and double jaw lock makes a great connection.
Con- manufacturer recommends 1/8 of separation between the slides on the top of hitch. When backing upon 40' wheeler in some tight spaces it is hard to align without opening the slides a bit more. This is not he issue. Remembering to tighten them in the rush of leaving is the hard part.
Pro- once you are attached to your truck there is nothing more you need to worry about until you disconnect.
Con- If you are a weekender like me and use your truck for work the rest of the week, you will need at least one person to help lift in or out pre or post travel. Works pretty well with gantry crane.

Excellent choice for a short bed Super Duty . Have towed several thousand miles with no issues. This is a heavy hitch , but that is what you get with a heavy duty Demco hitch . Plenty of room between trailer and truck when doing tight turns.

I love this hitch. Never having used an automatic slider and moving from a long bed to a short bed truck it took me a few attempts to get accustomed to backing up.
I would recommend this slider over any other brand. No capture plate needed either.

Overall, great products. The capture plate needs to be tweaked every time I use it and it’s finicky to get it just right but works well when it’s set. It requires a powerful impact wrench to do it. If it was easier to adjust I’d give it 5 stars. The hitch works beautifully with my short bed truck.

Tows great. I’m a first time fifth wheel owner. This made it easy. Be careful because this hitch is capable of angle that your trailer axles aren’t especially on a hard surface like asphalt or concrete. Over all very pleased. Be prepared to hoist this hitch in and out of your truck if you plan on removing it often. Probably weights closed to 400-500 lbs.

Demco auto slide hitch works very well with my crew cab short bed Ram. Fits under my tonneau cover nicely. Trouble free thus far. Had to purchase a Demco plate for the camper to make the Rhino box hitch work. etrailer personnel were great in helping ensure I had the right products and kept me well informed of shipping dates.

I ordered this hitch for my 2018 Titan XD. Very well made hitch. This install does take about 2 hours if you are assembling it by yourself. The parts are heavy as due expected for such a solid hitch. I did find that installing the base plate to the factory gooseneck hitch with a drop in bed liner does require removing all the shims from underneath the plate. If possible, assemble this hitch in the bed of the truck. The parts assembled complete makes for a very heavy hitch to put in the bed by yourself. I had to due to storms the night I assembled it. Due to shipping damage, I had to get replacement parts sent to me but Lori was very fast to get them to me. I pull a 13.5K trailer and it worked flawlessly. I am very, very pleased with the finished product as well as the excellent customer service from etrailer. You will NOT be disappointed.

For you I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034 with the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Nissan Titan XD part # DM6200. The adapter will drop straight in to the puck system on your Titan XD and will allow you to install the Demco slider hitch. The best part is the autoslide feature because you do not need to get...

Is there any way to grab the broken threaded portion of the bolt with needle nose pilers? If you have a friend or neighbor with a welder you can weld a new bolt head to the bottom of the bolt that is still in the rail kit adapter and then use the new bolt head as a way to remove it.

I was able to find your order from 2019 where you ordered the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 18,000 lbs # DM8550034 which is just the 5th wheel hitch. The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Nissan Titan XD OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 21,000 lbs # DM6200 that you ordered is the custom fit item for your Titan, it fits: 2016 - 2024 Nissan Titan XD 6-1/2 Foot Bed...

Curt doesn't make a sliding hitch with a base that attaches directly to your Nissan's gooseneck puck system so you'll need to start with the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Nissan Titan XD OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package item # DM6200. This drops down into your gooseneck puck and gives a standard base rail set up. Then you can add any 5th wheel hitch that is compatible with industry standard rails.

The issue you may have is turning clearance since this is a fixed hitch and your truck bed is shorter than 8 feet. So instead you'll want the Nissan rail kit adapter part # DM6200 with the slider A20 hitch part # C16541 and you'd be set. When you get into a tight parking spot you'll be able to slide this hitch back and have the needed clearance.

One that is compatible with a Sidewinder is the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16540-16026.

view full answer... - 5th Wheel Towing Capacity of 2017 Nissan Titan XD I apologize for the confusion. In Jason's answer you found he said the capacity is 21k but he was referring to the Demco components having an overall capacity of 21k. You are still limited by the capacity of the truck which in your case is 17,700 lbs. Now I can't really speak on Nissan's behalf but that is an odd statement they made on the picture you sent in. It sounds like they are referring to the fact that the fifth wheel towing capacity is higher than bumper pull trailer towing capacity...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Nissan Titan XD with Factory GooseneckSince you have a short bed truck (shorter than 8 feet), you have to use a slider hitch to give you turning clearance otherwise you'll have clearance issues with the cab of your truck and the nose of your trailer. Exceptions to this are if the trailer has a tapered nose designed for this scenario (you'd know if the trailer had this), or if the trailer has a Reese Revolution pin box installed on it. So for your 2017 Nissan Titan XD that has the factory gooseneck hitch what I would recommend...

- Best 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2017 Nissan Titan XD Short Bed with Puck SystemI have the perfect option for you to tow a 2007 Keystone Cougar 311RLS with your 2017 Nissan Titan XD.

view full answer... - Does Truck with 6-1/2 ft bed Have to Use Slider Hitch for Turning Clearance with Fifth Wheel HitchYou will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options. If you really want to use a stationary hitch like the part # RP30033 you can replace the pin box on your trailer with a Sidewinder and that will allow the clearance. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box...
view full answer... - Will The MORryde Replacement Pin Box Offer More Length Than A Lippert Rhino Pin Box Hey Pat, The Rhino box definitely is shorter than what most Rver's were hoping for so we get this question all the time. Switching to a MORryde Cushioned pin box designed with a Rhino box bolt pattern unfortunately won't give you extra clearance since they made them with a matching 13.27" length from the king pin to the first set of bolt holes. It will help reduce chucking and road vibration though. If you went with this pin box you'd want part # MR83QR to match your GVWR to the shear...

- Do I Have to Have a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch in a Short Bed TruckYou do not have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in a short bed truck. In many cases, truck beds shorter than 8 ft do not have enough clearance between the trailer and truck to execute sharp turns. This is why sliding hitches were invented. Due to the popularity of short bed trucks, trailer manufacturers started making more 5th wheel trailers with angled or indented noses so they do not contact your truck cab when turning such as the Highland Ridge Light 5th wheel trailer. The downside...

If you look further down on the # DM8550034 product page you will actually see premier series on an older overhead picture of the Autoslide. At this point the only thing it might indicate is that the hitch is older if it has that label on it.

- Which is Better Auto Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ram 2500: Pullrite or DemcoFor your 2019 Ram 2500 short bed with the factory fifth wheel rail kit I recommend the Demco Hijacker autoslide part # DM8550034 for an 18k hitch or part # DM8550035 for a 21k hitch with the adapter plate part # DM6099 over the Pullrite hitches for a few reasons. The hitch head on the Hijacker has built-in brackets that hold it to your pin box since it needs to lock to the pin box as you make turns to allow the slider mechanism to automatically operate. The Pullrite option requires purchasing...
