Jeff: Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at the Demco SL Series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Adapter for Fifth Wheel Rail. Has a 25,000 pound weight capacity. Now, this adapter is designed to mount into your Demco SL Series Fifth Wheel Base Rails. So, that you can pull a gooseneck trailer with your truck using those fifth wheel base rails. Again, this is designed to fit the Demco SL Series Fifth Wheel above bed base rails, which we do sell separately.
They're part number DM 6012. Now this part is constructed of a nice sturdy steel, does resist corrosion with the black powder coat finish on it. And it does easily install and remove from your truck bed just by pulling these clips and these integrated pins. It'll remove or install it onto your vehicle. Want to zoom in, just to show you what we're talking about.So, if you look at the side here.
Right now, it's in the locked position. So if you want to remove it from the vehicle, you just pull the clip out, just like that. Lift up on your spring loaded pin, twist it 90 degrees, and it'll hold it in the open position. You'll do the same on this corner, and then on these corners also. So in all four corners, you'll raise that up.
That'll allow you to remove it from the SL bed rails in your vehicle. And then when you go to install this, just line this up over the holes in the base rails with the pin here. Once they're lined up, just twist it. And it'll automatically spring down into the hole. And then to hold it into place, take your clip slide it into the pin there, and that'll lock it into place.
And again, you'll do that on all four corners. So it makes it very simple to install and remove from your vehicle.Now, this will include everything shown here on the table. Now for this video, I've installed the side plates to the center inaudible 00:01:43 to show you what it all looks like together. But what you'll get is this gooseneck center assembly. It includes the two and five 16 diameter gooseneck ball. And these integrated safety chain loops, also you'll get these two spring pin side plates with the hardware to bolt them to the center assembly. And it also comes with these four eighth inch thick spacers. And that's used to help align these pin plates with your above bed rails. They'll go between when you go to install the pin plate to the center assembly. The space you'll go between, it'll help you to align it up.It does come with a nice set of instructions. That'll describe all that. This part is made in the USA. Few specs on this again, the gross towing weight capacity is 25,000 pounds. Now to give you a few measurements, we'll measure the width from this end, all the way to this end. On the mounting plate. So if we go end to end is going to be right at 31 and a half inches. And then if we measure the pin center to center across is going to be right at 30 inches. And then if we'll do the same front to back. Overall, from this end to this end. We right at 22 inches. And the pin center to center, front to back right at 18 inches. But that should do it for the review on this Demco SL Series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Adapter for Fifth Wheel Rails with a 25,000 pound weight capacity.

Mount this gooseneck trailer hitch in your Demco Hijacker SL Series fifth-wheel base rails so that you can pull a gooseneck trailer. 2-5/16" Ball and safety chain loops included.This product showed up damaged and missing parts. I sent etrailer an email exhaling as such and that now this item is worthless to me and had to hire someone to tow my gooseneck trailer. That email was ignored of course and instead I receive this email from Carol asking me to review the product. Well when it shows up and the box is ripped open and parts are missing it is not very effective. Worst customer service EVER!!! Wasted money having it express shipped.
Brooke M - 10/29/2021Great product great value. Ordering was easy. Communication and shipping tracking was easy even for this old non techie. Arrived in Washington state ginger quick and it’s exactly what I wanted/needed. Definitely my new go to place to check FIRST for anything they carry!
Review from a similar Hijacker SL Series in Gooseneck Hitch
I’m a repeat customer, I had the hijacker in my old truck and let it go when I sold the truck. When we bought our next Fifth wheel, I contacted etrailer because I wanted another Hijacker, this one is the 21000 model, easy to order, quick delivery and a superior Fifthwheel coupler, thank you etrailer

Nice hitch, works well. A couple of tight spots for placing nuts during installation but otherwise works as described.

Review from a similar Hijacker SL Series in Gooseneck Hitch
I built a custom flatbed for my 2002 f250 and needed a fifth wheel hitch that is low profile to get my toy hauler level. This hitch was perfect for the job! I am pleased with its locking mechanism and there is no bucking or slap while on the highway. It allows me to unhitch at a ridiculous angle if needed! I just purchased a new 2019 F350 Dually and will absolutely buy a new Demco for that truck as well!

It’s got an amazing look when I get on my truck.
Cody - 08/14/2021Review from a similar Hijacker SL Series in Gooseneck Hitch
I was impressed by the customer service staff at Etrailer. Diana helped me with my order and went out of her way to price matched the competition, with free shipping. The 5th wheel hitch they sent me was what I wanted and shipping was amazingly fast(I ordered on a Tuesday and had everything by Friday). I am not usually one to write reviews but they deserve two thumbs up and an excellent review from me. I will emphasize that they have excellent customer service and I will definitely do business with these guys in the future. Thank you etrailer!!
Review from a similar Hijacker SL Series in Gooseneck Hitch
AWESOME!
I came to etrailer because I needed a "low profile" 5th wheel hitch. I scrubbed the internet and the closest I came to was a 18" rise. I found just what I needed made by Demco. The price was a little suspect considering even here the price was at least $250 cheaper than anything else on the eTrailer page. I live in Iowa and see Demco grain trailers all over the place and figured farmers don't generally buy the cheapest so what the heck. Before I pressed the "Pay" button I looked at the Demco website, saw they were located in Iowa and gave them a call. I talked with a rep. who said the company bought the hitch line a few years ago from a Canadian company and that they were selling well. When I told them the price from etrailer he said "Buy, you won't find it cheaper at any of our distributors" So back to the "Pay" button. Then it got weird.
Later that day a young lady called me from etrailer to inform me that the item was "out of stock" and did I want to wait, choose something else or get my $ back. I told her that I couldn't beat their deal so I said I'll wait, she said "OK it should ship in two-three weeks". I told her don't ship anything until you can ship the hitch and the rails. Next morning, I got an email, "Your order has shipped" Wait what . . . ?
At that point I jump on the phone and called etrailer's 800 number. Another rep says "can I help you?" I said how do you bend time? she pulled up my order and says "Oh I see what happened, another person had ordered the same hitch and also told them not to ship an incomplete order also" This guy was waiting for something to be completed in June and they reordered the hitch and he would get his whole order also. Cool huh? I love that kind of flexibility in business. Lastly shipping. My product probably came in at 130+ pounds. Everyone else wanted more than $100.00 for shipping, mine was FREE. I would say I saved about $300.00 by buying at etrailer. With a great money back policy you really don't have anything to lose.

Review from a similar Hijacker SL Series in Gooseneck Hitch
The hitch works great. I use it to pull a 17500 Lb. 5th wheel. It was easy to install and when I need to use my truck to haul something else the hitch is every easy to remove.
Review from a similar Hijacker SL Series in Gooseneck Hitch
Great hitch, just used it for our first outing and everything pulled like a dream. More than that e-trailer was great to order from. The product was sent out quickly with tracking number attached, my hitch showed up earlier that expected. I will order from these guys again!
Review from a similar Hijacker SL Series in Gooseneck Hitch
Order the hitch on Saturday night and all 4 packages arrived right on time Thursday afternoon. I felt this hitch was a good compromise between cost and function. I was looking for a sliding hitch that had a clean look but couldn't justify the auto sliding ones. This hitch fit the bill perfectly.
