Features to know about

Confident Turns Without Leaving the Driver’s Seat: Automatic 14" Sliding Action

This hitch takes the stress out of tight turns. Its automatic slider gives 14" of fore/aft travel, gliding smoothly on a rack-and-pinion gear system whenever you turn more than 10 to 15 degrees. No need to jump out and move a lever before backing into a campsite or parking lot. The head slides toward the tailgate when turning and back toward the cab when straightening, giving you the clearance you need while keeping motion controlled and quiet.

Solid, Quiet Connection for Heavy Loads: 18,000 lbs GTW and 4,500 lbs Vertical Load Limit

Built for serious towing, this hitch handles up to 18,000 lbs gross towing weight and 4,500 lbs vertical load. The single-piece wraparound jaw completely surrounds the king pin for 360-degree contact, while a 3/4" thick steel locking bar reinforces the connection. That tight fit cuts down on rattle and chucking, giving you a secure link that feels steady mile after mile.

Close-up of Demco Hijacker Autoslide wraparound jaw and steel locking bar providing a secure 360-degree king pin connection.

Smooth Hookup and Ride: Double Pivot Head with Polyurethane Dampeners

The double-pivot head flexes front-to-back and side-to-side to match your trailer’s movement, making hookups smoother even on uneven ground. Three polyurethane dampeners absorb road shock and help quiet things down while you’re on the move. It’s a simple design that results in less jarring through the truck and trailer so long drives feel more controlled.

Quick Setup in the Bed: Drop-In Rail Adapter with Adjustable Height

Getting this hitch ready to tow is straightforward. The included rail adapter drops right into the factory puck receivers and pins in place for a stable base. Once it’s in, you can bolt on the side plates and set one of three hitch height options—16-1/2", 17-3/4", or 19-1/4"—to get your trailer level and maintain bed rail clearance. When not in use, loosening the outrigger bar assembly keeps the hitch snug so it doesn’t move or slide around during storage.

Video Transcript for Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package Review

Hey, guys. This is Jake here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Demco OEM GM Puck System Rails. These are gonna drop directly into the factory puck system on your GM truck. So, that's Chevy or GMC. And it's going to have two different rail options.

The only one that you're missing is the widest rail option. So, most of them are going to fit in the two center ones. There are some wider kits that have higher capacities that'll fit in these outer ones. This rail kit is gonna have a capacity of 25,000 pounds. Has a nice, thick black powder coat finish, that's gonna help resist rust and corrosion.

Demco does a really good job with their paint jobs. It's textured, so things are gonna be more likely to slide off of it, than to grab onto that paint and cause any scratches or chipping. One of the nicest thing about this kit is that it's gonna drop directly into your puck system. You can lock it in by pulling these levers. Something I like about these is that the levers actually have a direction that they're supposed to go in, and then you can put the pin in to lock them in place.

I will say, if you have trouble getting these latches to match up to the pucks in the floor of your the bed of your truck, what we did was we just loosened these four bolts on each of these brackets, and then it was able to move just the slightest bit to get them dropped down in place, and then we torque them down again. So, once you get it set, it's great. I like it because you don't have to make the initial investment of getting a new fifth wheel hitch just to match it to your truck bed. If you like to get trucks every couple of years, a lot of people don't like to put a lot of miles on their truck. They'll get a new one.

If you get the same truck, you can take this set of rails, put it in the new truck bed, and it match up great. If you decide to go with a different brand, you just have to get a new rail kit. You don't have to get a whole new fifth wheel hitch. Well, guys, hopefully this video helped you decide whether or not the Demco OEM Puck System Rails is gonna be right for you and your vehicle.

Installation was straight forward operates very smooth and quiet installed overhead winch as seen in photo to make install easy also to remove very impressed with the craftsmanship of hitch.



by: Keith04/01/2020

I love the adapter. Received it really fast, and it dropped in and fit really well. I have a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500hd, with fifth wheel prep package. I also have a Curt E16, with A16 slider to use on it.

Really enjoy the Demco Hijacker autosli de.



by: Toriann07/30/2020

Excellent service, was able to ship my item to me in 3 days!!! Will always refer friends and family to etrailer! The Demco 6333 fit my 2020 Denali dually perfect so I could keep my 5th wheel hitch...



by: Jorge03/03/2020

Excellent product, I bought a 2020 GMC diesel the rail adapter fit perfect. As you can see in the picture, a husky fifth wheel hitch fit this adapter. The instructions that come with the adapter made it easy to install.



by: John07/15/2022

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.

Still working great!



by: David10/08/2019

Just had to make a small adjustment to fit the puck system but in the end, fit perfectly and seems fairly tight. My Reese slider hitch fit perfectly.



by: Harold03/22/2020

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.



by: JT02/20/2021

I got a new 2021 GMC with the puck system and I wanted to be able to use my existing Pullrite Superglide 2700 hitch. I looked at the Pullrite adapter...that's a multi-piece rail system and was thinking more likely to rattle. Found this Demco adapter which is one piece and a better price.

Just put the adapter (and the hitch) in the truck this morning. Following the instructions, loosened the bolts and it dropped right in. The only thing that would've made this better is if the temp was above freezing.



by: Arthur04/19/2020

Outstanding product. But even more outstanding was Customer Service and expert technical advice. All questions to the technical experts were processed fast and right on with correct answers. Customer service was unbelievable. I called them with a concern on shipment that was being held up. They got right in it and before the evening was gone my shipment was. Processed and at my house in three days. I was in a bind to move my fifth wheel and without a working hitch in my new truck. They came through with the product and shipment so I could move my camper and not have any issues.
As others have said, etrailer is above others on customer service and reliability of product and great technical help. My choice of business when I need something or have to have the correct technical data.
Thanks for the extra effort.



by: Lawrence06/11/2021

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.



by: Neil04/04/2022

wow what a great hitch . Got the no drill bed rails and the bolted rite up to my B&W gooseneck hitch . Ashley E did a great job answering all my questions . Only took a few days to get here too. Took me about 2 hours to install everything and if you have a short bed truck this is the only way to go .



by: Gary B. 07/13/2019

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.



by: Myron11/18/2019

This is an excellent product to use for the Demco auto slider 5th wheel. Follow the directions and it will drop right into the pucks. It's heavy so it will take another pair of hands unless you're Arnold. I'm alone, so I have a 2 ton engine hoist that works real well. My auto slider drops right into adapter rails. An excellent piece of equipment from etrailer. Best place to buy rv equipment. When needed, they're an excellent choice for advice. I might add that this adapter is only for the 2020 Silverado and GMC Sierra. They have different ones for Ford and Ram. I would definitely buy from etrailer again.



by: It was delivered to Thomas at Professional Trailer10/31/2025

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.



by: Dan02/11/2019

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.

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.



by: Mike G09/15/2018

Installed in my 2014 Silverado. This looks to be a very heavy-duty hitch that doesn't require a capture plate.

This hitch has worked well for me. It is now used in a 2018 GMC Sierra 2500. It is just tall enough that I can see it in my rearview mirror to make it easy to get lined up with the kingpin

Glad to hear that you're getting good use out of your Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Hitch! If you get to the point where you'd like a different angle we have different cameras you can use in place of your 3rd brake light. I have linked our selection for your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 for you to filter through.


by: James 12/06/2024

Very easy install and super fast delivery. Unit is heavy duty without being too unmanageable to handle. Very well made. Going to feel very secure going down the road.



by: Kristopher W.10/29/2024

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 .

This adapter allowed me to use the
Curt A16 hitch I already owned. This DEMCO 6333 adapter is an absolute monster. Incredibly well built with precise machining. The hitch fits very well.
Since each truck is built within a certain tolerance and slightly different I had to make a minor adjustment to the lock down positions to get the perfect fit. By loosening all 4 bolts on each of the lock down handles I was able to get the adapter to drop right in place.
Comparing this adapter to others is no comparison.
This DEMCO 6333 is much sturdier.
I added a picture of the Curt A16 mounted on the DEMCO 6333 under the LUND Tri-fold cover. Overall, this is a great combination.
I wanted to be sure to say "THANKS" to Montrell (etrailer Rep) who ensured the DEMCO was a proper fir for my truck as well as processing the order quickly. Job Well Done!!

Hitch is amazing. I was worried about towing a 5th wheel with a short bed. Hitch works as advertised. Easy install. Thanks for the help and fast shipping.



by: Matthew04/21/2024

Built just like the rails I had in my old truck. I actually had the Curt adapter plate before this one and had to return it because it added too much height to my hitch. This one saved me a half inch and hopefully the $[XX] bed cover I purchased will work now.



by: Guzziguy03/05/2026

Took me less than two hours to install by myself (heavy)....and it dawned on me which sets of bolts needed to be loosened up to allow the device to seat EASILY into the pucs. Fits my 5th wheel setup perfectly!



by: Vince07/03/2024

Package arrived mangled, barely able to get it out of the delivery truck without it falling out of the packaging. In the end, no harm done, contents were not damaged.

Bought for use on a 2024 Chevy 2500 HD with factory installed pucks. Mounted a PullRite model #2700 slider fifth wheel hitch on top of the adapter. Adapter is very heavy duty and well designed. Per the instructions I loosened all of the latch bolts prior to installation into the truck. Retorqed once everything was in place. Simple, took less than 30 minutes. Then reinstalled my PullRite hitch without any issues.

Adapter seems well made and rock solid. Will have to wait until I tow again to see how everything rides. The height of the installment measures roughly 1.5-2 inches higher than before.

Ordering was a breeze, arrived in less than 3 days. Mike was very helpful throughout the process.

  • Correcting A Demco Adapter 6333 Loose Fit
    If you have some slop after installing the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6333, you can try to adjust the washers by adding more to one side and/or taking them away from another. If one handle feels tighter than another, that is a good sign that you just need to adjust the washers but the pucks are also not always level from the factory. Included is page 2 of the instructions providing more detail about the washer adjustments.

    Hey Michael, the overall height of the Demco Rail Kit Adapter part # DM6333 from the top of your 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 bed is 2 inches. Once installed the bottom of the rails this kit provides will sit a little higher than flush with the corrugation in your truck bed as the bed does not support this rail kit. The small gap would allow for a bed liner if that's what you're asking about. See attached photo.

  • Is There a Way to Use a Single 5th Wheel Hitch with 2020 and 2026 Chevy Silverado
    Hey Les, we can help but what you would need is a fifth wheel hitch designed for above bed rails like the B and W Patriot part # BW47XR which comes with a set of custom install rails for your 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 plus the above mentioned fifth wheel hitch. Then to adapt the hitch to fit the OEM rail kit of the 2026 Silverado you'd need the # DM6333 and you'd have the easiest way to have a hitch solution for both trucks. What trailers are you guys towing?

  • Adapting Demco Autoslide 5TH Wheel Hitch To Fit Factory Prep/Puck Bed On a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500
    You have a couple options for moving your Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550035 to your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 with the factory in bed prep/puck system. First the best way in my opinion is to remove the mounting brackets on the side of your hitch and add the Side Plates # DM49GV. These will allow you to set the hitch into the factory mounts on your Sierra. The other option is using a Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6333 to act as an adapter between your bed mounts and your...

  • Will the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC Work w/ a Curt A20 Slider?
    Hey Darren, that's quite the gift. The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package item # DM6333 will fit any 5th wheel hitch that attaches to industry standard rails, including the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider item # C55DR. The only exception to this is the B&W Patriot Slider item # BWRVK3270 because it sits too low and hits the adapter when sliding.

This will work with your factory puck system and will leave your bed rail-less whenever you don't have your hitch in the bed. Another solution is to get an adapter rail for your new 2021 GMC Sierra 3500. Use the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6333.

  • Can B&W Patriot 18K 5thWheel Hitch Be Made Compatible with Puck System on 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500
    B&W offers a replacement slider unit for the Patriot 5th wheel hitch, part # BWRVB3270. You'd simply remove the hitch head from the current stationary model and install it on the slider. This being said, the problem comes in when you try to find something to adapt the slider to the GM puck system. Demco states that their # DM6333 adapter isn't compatible with the B&W Patriot Slider. Curt offers a puck adapter, part # C88KR but neither Curt nor B&W will confirm fit, because the haven't...

  • Does Truck with 6-1/2 ft bed Have to Use Slider Hitch for Turning Clearance with Fifth Wheel Hitch
    You 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...

  • 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 Truck
    You 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...

  • Comparing Demco Hijacker and Pullrite Superglide Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2017 Ram 2500
    The things that the 18K Demco Hijacker # DM8550034 and the 18K SuperGlide have in common are that they both offer 14" of travel, they are both automatic sliding 5th wheel hitches, have 2-point pivoting hitch heads, are compatible with industry standard base rails, and they are both rated to tow up to an 18K trailer. Both 5th wheel hitches come with a 5-year limited warranty as well. Although they both have the single-jaw system to lock the king pin into place, the SuperGlide hugs it against...

  • Difference Between Demco Autoslide and Demco Autoslide Premier Series
    HI Darryl; the Premier Series was a name used for a while on the Autoslide and other models when Demco switched to use industry standard bed rails. 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 Demco
    For 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.

  • Recommendation for a 2014 Ram 2500 Short Bed To Navigate Tight Campground Turns
    I can help you navigate those tight turns in your 2014 Ram 2500. Since the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 that you referenced does not move the pivot point further back you really do not gain much clearance for tight turns with a short bed truck. Also, if you use an offset adapter like this you can not use an additional offset adapter like the B and W extender you referenced. This would cause too much leverage on the trailer. Instead I would highly...

  • Does the PullRite SuperGlide 5th Wheel Hitch Have Height Adjustments?
    Hey Greg, thanks for reaching out! The PullRite SuperGlide 5th Wheel Hitch # PUL88RR has a fixed height at 16-3/4", but if you really like this hitch, you might be able to adjust the height of your pin box to level everything out. An alternative 5th wheel hitch option that DOES have height adjustment is the Demco Autoslide # DM8550034. This only has 14" of travel (as opposed to the 18" of the PullRite), but the hitch height settings can be adjusted between 16-1/2", 17-3/4", and 19-1/4"...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Weight Compared to Truck Payload Capacity for Safely Towing with 2019 Ram 1500
    The 2018 Forest River Wildcat 28sgx will not be an issue for you to tow. The payload of your truck is slightly different than the hitch weight of your 5th wheel trailer. The reason for the difference is that the payload is based on the bed itself and the strength distributed over the frame whereas the 5th wheel base rails or factory pucks are directly bolted to the frame and have a much higher weight capacity because they aren't simply dispersed over the sheet metal and are directly mounted...
