Features to know about

Built for Serious Towing: 25,000 lbs GTW and 6,250 lbs TW

This gooseneck hitch is made to pull real weight. With a 25,000-lb gross towing capacity and 6,250-lb tongue weight limit, it’s built for big livestock trailers, dump trailers, or heavy equipment hauls. The fixed 2-5/16" ball gives you a strong, stable connection that stays tight under load, so you can tow with confidence when the trailer is fully loaded.

Quick Change Between 5th Wheel and Gooseneck: Drops Right into UMS Series Base Rails

If your truck already runs Demco UMS Series 5th-wheel base rails, this hitch lets you switch to gooseneck towing fast. It installs and removes easily with the included pins and clips—no drilling or major setup work. Just drop it into the rails and secure it for a solid fit. When you’re done towing, pull the pins and lift it out to clear the bed.

Built to Last Through Heavy Use: Sturdy Steel with Black Powder Coat Finish

The all-steel construction gives this hitch the strength to take daily towing abuse without flex or looseness. The black powder coat finish resists corrosion from road grime and weather, so it stays looking sharp and performing solid long term.

Simple, No-Nonsense Design for Everyday Use

Everything about this hitch is straightforward—no moving parts or complex linkages to fuss with. Attach it with the supplied pins, hook up your gooseneck coupler to the 2-5/16" ball, and you’re ready to tow. It’s a dependable piece of gear that does its job without drama.

Video Transcript for Comprehensive Review: Demco UMS Series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for UMS Series Base Rails

Today we're going to take a look at the Demco Hijacker UMS series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails. It has a 25,000 pound weight capacity. Now this part will allow you to mount this gooseneck trailer hitch in your Demco Hijacker UMS series fifth wheel base rail, so that you can pull a gooseneck trailer. It will also work with standard above-bed base rails from other manufacturers like BMW, Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden-Hitch, Husky, Reese and Valley that have the standard above-bed base rails. Basically easily installs and removes from the truck bed. It attaches with the pins and clips. It is constructed of a sturdy steel, and it does resist corrosion because it has a nice black powder coat finish on it.

It is made in the USA. You can see your gooseneck ball right here, and the holes for the safety chains to hook to. The ball diameter is 2-5/16", and again the gross towing weight capacity on this is 25,000 pounds. Just to show you how this would work, is you just pull these pins out, pull the clip off, then pull the pin out and you'll see your levers right here. You just rotate those out 90 degrees, and when you do that these tabs will rotate and that'll allow you and you do it on that side also, it'll allow you to lift it off of the base rails. When you go to install it, same way, you just open these up 90 degrees, the tabs will move, drop it into your base rails, once they're dropped in, just rotate these back, and then to lock them into place just drop your pin and clip through just like that, and that'll keep that handle from opening up and it locks it into your fifth wheel base rail and gives you the gooseneck ball to tow. That should do it for the review on the Demco Hijacker UMS series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails, with a 25,000 pound weight capacity..
