Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 13,000 lbs
From a ride perspective, this is an excellent hitch for a shortbox. I never worry about hitting my cab and have been all over the country with my 5er. Maintenance is relatively simple and makes traveling easy. Some cons are, of course, the weight and size of this beast. But, it works for me and I like the comfort of knowing I don't ever have to hop out in traffic to slide the hitch to make a turn. Another potential con is the height. In my 16 Nissan Titan XD Pro4x Cummins, I have to have this on the lowest rail setting and it still is quite tall. I know that's mostly my truck's height issue, even stock, but still a drawback for this to me. Also, I had one of the alan bolts come undone in the handle that controls the kingpin claw (so now I keep a closer eye on all the bolts)...but Demco sent me a new one no questions. Even so, all concerns are minor in the grand scheme of things.
Everyone that I spoke to on the phone were very helpful. I haven't hooked up my hitch yet but I like what I see so far.
