Specs:
Most often used on trucks with 6-1/2' beds, a slider helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a slider to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.
The spring-loaded handle on the Premier Series slider hitch allows for simple operation. To activate the slider, manually release the handle so that the trailer hitch is able to slide toward your truck's tailgate as you turn. Once you have completed the turn, pull the spring-loaded handle out and pivot it to the right. Slowly reverse your vehicle at this point and the hitch will latch back into its original towing position. Always make sure your hitch locks back into place before you tow.
The heavy-duty, non-binding steel rollers in the Ultra Slide allow for smooth operation as the hitch moves from the towing position to the turning position and back again. Because this hitch won't bind up the way that some other hitches do, you will get a hassle-free towing experience.
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 Premier Series Ultra Slide 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.
The Hijacker Ultra Slide hitch is designed to attach to universal above-bed base rails (sold separately). The hitch will fit most industry-standard above-bed rails, including those from B&W, Curt, Demco, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley. To assemble the hitch, all you have to do is bolt on the side plates and attach the head to the slider base.
The side plates have 2 functions. They contain the feet that fit into your above-bed rails, 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 slider base with the included hardware. Then attach the base to the rails with the included safety pins.

The slider on this hitch helps eliminate clearance concerns during slow-speed turns. Sturdy wraparound jaw has locking bar for added security. Pivoting head eases hookup and helps limit chucking. Polyurethane bumpers provide cushion for smooth ride.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. 677944
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. 287343

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. 799583
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. 785331
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. 785181
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! 660848
Hitch showed up in 2 days. Awesome customer service!! Boxes came beat up (not etrailers doings) typical of UPS lately. Installed in about 1 hr and is built like a tank. Going to be using hitch in the next couple days and looking forward to seeing this thing in operation!! Thank you etrailer for selling quality!!!! 483508

Review from a similar Hijacker Premier Series in Fifth Wheel Hitch
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... 660221

Review from a similar Hijacker Premier Series in Fifth Wheel Hitch
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. 411739
