Video Transcript for Review of Demco Gooseneck Hitch - Gooseneck for Fifth Wheel Rails - DM5992
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.

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.1191117
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our customer service team should be reaching out to you in the near future.

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 etrailer871665

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!617034

Review 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!! 517850

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.

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!253975

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. 470431

If you have the SL 34 Series Base Rails which measure to be 40-1/4" from the center of the two mounting holes left to right then the Demco Hijacker SL Series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for 5th Wheel Rails part # DM5992 will not work for you. This hitch uses the SL 24 Series Base Rails which measure to be 30-1/2" from the center of the two mounting holes left to right.
Therefore, if you do have the SL 34 Series Base Rails then your only option is going to be replacing the frame brackets and... view full answer...
The Demco Hijacker SL Series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for 5th Wheel Rails # DM5992 that you referenced is going to fit the rails you sent in a picture of. This is designed to fit the Demco SL rails that I can tell you have like the part # DM6012.
This adapter has a distance between the outside of the bed rail on the left to the outside of the bed rail on the right: 38-1/4" and a distance between the locking pins along the bed rail from center to center: 30-1/2". view full answer...
The Demco SL gooseneck adapter part # DM5992 is designed to sit the Demco SL 24 style rails which measure from outside to outside, left to right, 38-1/4 inches and then the distance between the mounting slots of the rails would then be 30-1/2 inches. I hope that clears up any confusion! view full answer...
The only way we offer for installing your Demco SL rails in the bed of your 2005 Dodge Ram is with the bracket kit part # DM8553004.
For a gooseneck adapter to fit your rails you would want the part # DM5992. view full answer...
The vertical rails you described are the Demco SL Series which run front to back as opposed to side to side. The only gooseneck hitch we offer for these rails would be the Demco Hijacker SL Series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # DM5992. view full answer...
Yes, the Demco Hijacker SL Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, # DM5992, has the same foot print setup as a Demco Hijacker SL 5th Wheel Hitch 16K, # DM6076SL-16K.
The Demco gooseneck hitch uses the same spring loaded handles as the SL 5th wheel hitch to secure the gooseneck hitch to the base rails in the bed of your Dodge Ram. view full answer...
Yes there is! Since you have a Demco SL series fifth wheel hitch the correct adapter you need is the # DM5992 which fits the rail design you have now and provides you with a gooseneck hitch setup that has a 25,000 lb capacity. view full answer...
Since you have the Underbed Rail and Installation Kit for Demco Hijacker UMS # DM8551009 on your 2018 Ford F-350 Lariat you will need the Demco Hijacker UMS Series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # DM5988. This hitch will drop right into your rails and it has a 25,000lb trailer weight capacity, with the tongue weight capacity being 6,250lbs.
The Demco Hijacker SL Series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # DM5992 will only work with SL rail systems like the Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for Demco... view full answer...
Since the Reese Elite underbed rail kit you have in your 2015 Ford F-250 is the part # RP30126 the correct center section you need to give it a gooseneck hitch as well would be the part # RP30138. view full answer...
The Demco SL rails are different from the RBW rails you mentioned so to use the # DM5992 on your 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 you'd need the SL rail kit that fits your truck part # DM8553003-12. There isn't a similar adapter available for your RBW setup.
If you needed a fifth wheel hitch as well for the SL rails you'd then also need the part # DM6076SL-16K. view full answer...
What I think you are asking for is a hitch to fit your 2021 Ram 1500. What I am uncertain of is if you want a 5th wheel hitch or a gooseneck hitch and for what weight rating and if you have the OEM puck system installed. We have a large selection of Gooseneck and 5th Wheel hitch options for various weight ratings and with varying features. A couple examples being the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs. # RP30051 is available but will need an above... view full answer...
Sounds like you have the old style fifth wheel rails that run front to back. Demco makes rails like this and they are referred to as their SL Series line.
The Demco Hijacker SL Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM6076SL-16K is designed to fit the SL rails like the part # DM8553004-12.
It sounds like you are looking for a hitch to attach directly to your parallel fifth wheel rails as well as get a gooseneck adapter like part # DM5992. view full answer...
For your 2005 Ram 2500, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs, # BWGNRK1313. This is a custom fit for your truck that will give you a gooseneck hitch that will keep your truck bed clean when not in use.
If you want 5th wheel rails, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50140-58. This is a custom fit system for your truck. If you want a gooseneck... view full answer...
We do have the custom installation kit and Demco SL fifth wheel hitch for your 2004 F-350.
The installation kit I recommend is part # DM8553003-12. This custom kit reduces the installation time when compared to a standard kit.
The fifth wheel hitch that will work with these rails is the Demco Hijacker SL Series. For a 16K hitch you can use part # DM6076SL-16K. For 21K the hitch is part # DM6076SL-21K.
To be able to tow a gooseneck trailer with your truck you can use part # DM5992.... view full answer...
