This hitch has a sturdy wraparound jaw with a locking bar for added security. Pivoting head eases hookup and helps limit chucking. Polyurethane bumpers offer cushion for a smooth ride. Base secures in underbed mounts and removes for full bed access.

Specs:
The single-piece, strong wraparound jaw completely surrounds your trailer's king pin for 360 degrees of contact. This wraparound jaw provides a more secure connection than standard 2-piece jaws that close in on the king pin from the sides. The increased jaw-to-king-pin contact on the UMS hitch offers tighter tolerances around the king pin, which minimizes both rattle and chucking, for a smooth, quiet ride.
A 3/4" thick solid steel locking bar spans the area in front of the jaw. This bar provides an added barrier of protection against accidental disconnection so you can have peace of mind that your trailer is secure. The locking bar is attached to the jaw and to the spring-loaded handle. The bar automatically locks when the jaw closes around your king pin
The double pivoting, cushioned head improves your towing experience dramatically by helping to reduce jarring and unwanted noise. Built-in pins allow the hitch head to pivot back and forth and side to side. And hookup is easy because the hitch head will automatically pivot to the proper angle when it comes into contact with your pin box.
Three polyurethane dampeners help to cushion the movement from the pivoting head and to reduce towing noise. Two of these dampeners are built into the head assembly to cushion the head's side-to-side pivoting. The third dampener cushions the back-and-forth motion and must be installed in the hitch prior to use. Installation of this third dampener is easy - simply press the dampener up into the pre-drilled hole underneath the hitch head.
This UMS Double Pivot hitch is specially designed to fit in the underbed rails of your Ford Super Duty factory fifth-wheel towing prep package. To assemble the hitch, all you have to do is bolt on the side plates and attach the head to the hitch base.
The side plates have 2 functions. They contain the feet that fit into your OEM tow package receivers, and they allow you to raise or lower the hitch head to better match your pin box height. After you choose your desired height setting, simply bolt the side plates to the hitch base with the included hardware. Then lower the hitch into the 4 puck receivers in your truck bed. Turn the handles to lock the feet into the pucks and secure the handles with the included safety pins. The hitch can be removed to give you full truck bed access. Simply remove the safety pins, turn the handles to unlock the feet, and lift the hitch out of the receivers.

Very helpful!!!
When I called the support staff was very helpful
Very easy to install!
It broke 3 months into it. Junk
If I ever have to get another one, it will be a Demco
My son and I installed it, Works great! Thanks
Fit perfectly and works great!
This product is so good I purchased 4 more for my other Chevrolet Silverado's 3500s
Hitch appears to be well-constructed and sturdy. I have not yet installed it. Some assembly is required, and the instructions aren't crystal clear. Better illustrations would be helpful. The videos online are the best source of installation information. Shipping materials lack protection. The powder coating was damaged in a few locations, as well as the instructions. I expect the hitch will operate exactly as designed a long as I protect the exposed parts from the inevitable elements. Rubber grommets would be a nice addition to the holes drilled in the truck bed.
Haven’t towed anything yet waiting on new trailer. Ordering and service was the best!!! Followed through right to delivery.
My goodness, service was so good! Knowledgable person answered the phone and guided me to a product that worked for me. Shipping was 2 days! Fantastic experience! Thanks a ton!
The itself is high quality and very nice design. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that it is difficult to take in and out of the pucks in the bed. I have to use a pry bar to get it out and a sod faced mallet to install it. Dem I advised me to use washers to get it to fit better, 1 washer ( the current set up) isn’t quite enough but 2 washers made it too large
demco hitch is as nice as the auto slide demco i had built heavy, works great, and fit the factory pucks on my gmc perfectly.thanks
Not to difficult to install. It will require 2 people to get the bolts torqued down. Handles a 14000 lb fifth wheel with ease
Can't say enough good thi gs about e-trailer has worked with me, in turn I and my family have purchased many items. My hijacker hitch works perfect.
No chucking at all, easy assembly and maintenance. Drops in and out of the brackets easily and the latching handles double as carry handles. Weights a lot, and comes in multiple boxes, so be sure to tip your UPS guy!
The bolts are all grade-5 hardware and torque should be standard based on diameter.
