Amy provided excellent advice in helping determine the best choice for a 5th wheel hitch to use with our 2020 GMC 2500 Crew Cab with the 6-3/4' bed. One important factor was the sliding feature on the Demco Premiere which had 8" of travel, rather than the 12" slide on other models. (In reviewing specs on various hitches, it appeared that the 12" slide versions might interfere with the tailgate on the truck.)
The Demco has worked fine for us. We have not needed to use the slide but it is reassuring to know that it is available if we get in a tight maneuvering situation. (The cab corner on our previous truck took a couple of minor hits using a non-sliding hitch.)
The customer service group was very helpful and I was able to assemble and install the hitch and adapter plate with minimal assistance. Shipping was fast and a minor issue was taken care of immediately.

Ordered this hitch 3 day shipping on Monday around noon and received Wednesday afternoon. Packaging had taken a beating, but no damage to hitch, and all parts where there. Assembled hitch piece by piece in the bed of my Ram 2500 short bed. Went together like clockwork. Took be about 2 hours, taking my time because it was 93 degrees in my garage. Picked up new 34 foot fifth wheel RV that Saturday. Hitch locked on to pin with a reassuring solid lock sound and towed well. Very happy with eTrailer and Demco.



by:

I have to say I was very pleased with my unit it only cost $xxx to have installed and it fit perfectly for my truck a eight 2004 F2 50 super duty short bed I pull a 30 foot Alejo fifth wheel and my driveway is only 60 foot wide with my truck it’s 17 feet high turn that truck on a dime I would never have been able to get that RV out of that driveway if I did not have my sliding hitch which allowed me to turn my truck at a 90° angle from the trailer and pivot like a compass. I love this hitch and I will never own another



by:

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.



by:

Really heavy duty. Easy to install in my 2019 Ram 2500 on my existing rails. Slides nicely when backing my 32' camper. After recently knocking out my back window with my stationary 5th wheel hitch.



by:

This hitch is great! Very well built and easy to use! My experience with etrailer was phenomenal, as well. Excellent customer service, fast shipping, and their site is very user friendly. I intend to use them again as needed in the future.



by:

I have never assembled a 5th wheel receiver before.
This is an excellent product that could have had better instructions.
It pulls a 2022 Attitude 3220SAG.



by:

I purchased a 2019 Titan Diesel. The Demco Hijacker system was one of the few hitches to work on the Puck system. I had to get rid of my Ford F250 after so many mechanical problems and that hitch did not work on the Titan. Pulled my 5th wheel to go hunting last year with no problems. Have taken the hitch off and on with no problems. System works very well. Pleased with purchase. The slide works a lot better than the other hitch I had.



by:

Excellent quality hitch! I am very impressed and pleased with this purchase!



by:

So easy to install! I’m not overly handy and was able to complete in about an hour. Slid right into the puck system and bolted on from there. Was able to keep my bed liner in, just removed the bumpers from the bottom of the plate. Haven’t had any issues with the hitch after 5k miles of towing over the summer. GREAT PRODUCT!!



by:

This Slider hitch was a perfect fit for my Silverado 2500 standard bed. The several height adjustments gave me the height I needed and the shorter slide gave me the distance I needed to clear my cab window and still clear the truck bed without any worries. I highly recommend it



by:

Overall a very good product. Everything I expected, works as described, easy installation, easy to remove if need be . I wanted the slide hitch for cab clearance and this model is the right choice and works perfectly for my application.
Will buy again.



by:

Just back from a 500 mile first use on some of Wisconsin's wonderful roads. New hitch is definitely a step or or two above my old hitch. Package arrived slightly damaged, but contents were well protected inside. Installation was very easy.



by:

We bought a new style 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 and where told there was no 5th. wheel system built yet to fit it...all on back order. Found this on etrailer website easily, and the order was seamless, had it within 3 days!
This unit does fit the new style 2019 Dodge's. Had it professionally installed and very happy with it.
Thanks!



by:

Wow, new 2019.5 Ram 1500 works perfect..connected to Artic Wolf 285RL 3 slides 8,500 loaded.. turns up to 70degrees don,t need slide w the artic wolf. The installation was long..did it myself. Bracket bolts directly above frame was testy.. Had to grind a little off drivers rear bracket to fit. It was overall a tight fit but from an engineers point of view...small 5.7 bed there wasn't much room or choice. Tammy it was a pleasure working with you. Great Price, Great service, Thanks again...



by:

The installation of the hitch was quite simple once the base rails were properly installed.



by:

Works great. Make sure u have trailer weight on it when u connect or it won’t secure correctly.



by:

The hitch is great and the extra locking bar does ensure a safe hookup. The ability to pull the hitch and leave the base plate in so i can still use the bed is awesome.The only two downsides i would say are that the paint chips rather bad even in areas that have had no contact with anything which allows the hitch to rust. The only other piece is that even though this model is made for my truck it still rocks back amd forth a bit and the cotter pins fall out which allows the retaining pins to slide out as well. This can be fixed with some simple retaining wire.



by:

Easy to install as I'm a mechanic. Retired. Works great I pull a 2000 Cardinal 5th wheel.



by:

The Hitch was easy to install with the 16k setup and fit perfectly. But the brackets that run from one side to the other side are 1/2" too long to be able to bolt them in on our trucks rails. We cannot get it to the 21k rating. We now need to cut the brackets and have them welded to shorten them if we want to get to the higher capacity load.



by:

This product was easy to assemble and works great. It is very heavy and may require a lift or a second person to help place in your truck. It is def built tuff.



by:

As always, great service from etrailer. Great prices, fast shipping.

As far as the product...Let me start by saying that Demco make absolutely first rate hitches. My only (constructive) criticism might be that their quality control might not be quite up to snuff. This is the second Demco hitch I've purchased, the first being a 21K Autoslide hitch. Again...fantastic product but upon arrival one of the four tabs that drop into the bed rails was welded on upside down. Demco replaced the part, no questions asked, terrific customer service. This 21K double pivot hitch arrived yesterday and went together well except one of the tabs wasn't welded perfectly squarely which made it extremely difficult to get it to drop into the existing bedrails (which worked perfectly for the prior Demco hitch). Managed to get it in...getting it out...well, that may be a bit of a challenge. Wouldn't stop me from purchasing another Demco product though.

  • Above Bed Demco Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
    If neither truck has the puck system that would mean the Demco Hijacker is one designed for above bed rails which means you'd only need a set of above bed rails installed in your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 like the # DM39FR and you'd be set.

  • Where Exactly Do Demco Fifth Wheel Rails Sit in Bed of 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
    Hey Scott, to place the rear rail of the Demco fifth wheel rail kit part # DM39FR in the bed of your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed you will measure 32-1/8 inches from the rear edge of the truck bed to the center of the rear rail. Once that's set you'd want to use the hitch # DM8550034 to place the front rail by setting it in the rear rail. This ensures the rails are placed perfectly for the hitch, but it will be right at 22 inches in front of the rear rail.

  • Can You Install a 5th Wheel Hitch On a 2021 GMC Sierra 2500
    Yes, you can install a fifth wheel hitch on a 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 with Carbon Pro Bed. For this, I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550034 with Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit part # DM39FR as the auto-slide mechanism will eliminate having to get in and out of the truck each time to make a sharp turn.

If you have the factory prep package then you'll need the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter part # DM6333 instead.

    Yes, I do have an auto-slide fifth wheel hitch option for a 2020+ Chevrolet Silverado 3500, the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550035. In order to use this hitch you will need the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter part # DM6333 if you have the factory prep package or the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit part # DM39FR if you don't.

    The B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 is definitely a great option, but if you're looking for a bit more convenience then you'll want to take a look at the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034. This hitch has a slider that activates automatically as you start to turn to give you up to an additional 14" of travel to make those tight turns without having to get out of the truck. Other options on the market, like the Patriot, will require you to get out and pull the slide release...

  • Parts Needed to Install Demco Hijacker in 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 Short Bed
    If your 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 short bed has the OEM rail kit you'd need the rail kit adapter part # DM6333 to install and use the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550035. If instead you didn't have the OEM rail kit you'd need the rail kit # DM39FR with the same hitch # DM8550035 and you'd be set. The Hijacker will work great with the Lippert 1621 you have now. Another great option is a fixed hitch with a Sidewinder that can fit your trailer in place of the 1621 with part # RP34FR.

    In order for the Demco UMS Double Pivot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch to fit your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 you would need the Underbed Rail and Installation Kit for Demco UMS 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # DM8551010, however Demco does not have a kit that is available that fits your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500.

  • Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 Short Bed
    The puck system is not something that is there unless you have the 5th wheel prep package on your 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500, so you will need to get a rail system as well as a 5th wheel wiring harness in order to use a 5th wheel hitch. Since your Chevy 3500 is a short bed, you will need a sliding hitch, and while you mentioned you were looking at 25k hitches, there aren't any with that capacity for your short bed, but there is a 21,000 lb option that is one of the best hitches available,...

  • How Much Weight Will The Demco Autoslide and Rails Add To a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500?
    The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034 itself is going to weigh 273lbs. The Rail Kit # DM39FR is going to weight 70lbs so you are looking at a total of 343lbs added to your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. I also recommend installing the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM54FR which will add 3lbs. This will allow you to connect your trailer connector inside your bed rather than risking damage to the bumper connector stretching the wiring.

  • Can the Demco Hijacker DM8550034 Fit a Silverado 5.8’ Bed?
    The Demco Hijacker # DM8550034 should not be used on beds shorter than 6 feet long. This is due to the the bed not being long enough for this slider to slide back without the trailer pin box hitting the tailgate. However, we do still have a sliding option available for the 5.8 foot bed on your Silverado. You will want to look at the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550040. This 13,000 pound capacity hitch is specifically designed for use with the the beds that are under 6 feet and will still...
