This hitch takes the stress out of backing up and maneuvering in tight spots. Its automatic slider gives you 14" of fore/aft travel whenever you turn, creating the clearance you need between cab and trailer without leaving the driver’s seat. A built-in rack-and-pinion gear system moves the head smoothly toward the tailgate during sharp turns and back toward the cab as you straighten out. No jerking, no binding—just controlled motion that makes tight turns easy.
When the jaw closes, it wraps completely around the king pin for 360-degree contact. That solid connection, reinforced by a 3/4" thick locking bar, keeps things quiet and secure mile after mile. The full-wrap design cuts down on rattle and chucking compared to slide-bar hitches, giving you a smoother, more stable tow that feels locked in from start to finish.
Every bump and dip is cushioned by a double-pivot hitch head that moves both front to back and side to side. Three polyurethane dampeners absorb shock and reduce towing noise so the trailer tracks behind with less jarring feedback. It also makes coupling easier—the head tilts automatically to meet your pin box at the right angle as you back in.
Installation is quick since the base drops straight into the four receiver pucks of your factory underbed rails. Just lock the handles into place with the included safety pins and you’re ready to tow. When it’s time to clear your truck bed, pull the pins, unlock the handles, and lift out the hitch. The design separates into manageable sections—the head, base, and side plates—so you can remove or reinstall it without heavy lifting equipment.
This hitch is rated for a gross towing weight of 18,000 lbs with a 4,500 lb vertical load limit. Heavy-gauge steel construction and a rust-resistant black powder coat finish give it the toughness to handle big fifth wheels trip after trip while keeping wear at bay. Three height settings—16-7/8", 18-3/8", and 19-3/8"—let you dial in a level towing setup for confident handling on the road.

The fifth wheel has worked as promised for the year I have had it. No problems at all.

After one year the hitch has worked flawlessly. Installation into my RAM 2500 bed with the puck system was very easy.

I reached out to to Demco who advised that they have run into an one eighth variance here and there. Also they gave a tip of loosening the pucks under the bed, fit the hitch in, and then tighten up the pucks under the bed.

Crushing the cab is definitely not on the bucket list. What kind of camper are you towing?

Great pointer with the hoist Tanner, this thing is a beast! It is so awesome to not have to get out of the truck to be able to make those tight turns. Any big adventures coming up this year? Where are you going, what are you seeing?

A year later….. So I took the camper out 5 times this summer. Had zero issues with the hitch. Unhooking was a little tricky for me. I would raise the camper, pull the latch on the hitch, go to pull the truck away….only for the latch to lock in again. This happened to me several times but I blame myself for lack of experience. This has become less of an issue the more I unhook from the camper. Overall I’m happy with the hitch and would recommend.

It has worked great so far so good however wave expresshorizon transport does not accept this manufacturer’s hitch. I pull a 12,800 something pound fifth wheel camper loaded has done great no issues. Here’s hoping it last 20 years.
