Video Transcript for Review of Pullrite 5th Wheel Hitch - Sliding Fifth Wheel - PUL88RR

Hi everyone. Steve here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at this Pull Rite super glide fifth wheel hitch for short bed trucks. Now this is rated for 24,000 pounds. You're gonna need a couple things to complete this kit. You're gonna need the industry standard above bed rails already installed in your vehicle.

You get them here at etrailer.com sold separately. Just check out our fit guide and you're also gonna need what's called a capture plate. The capture plate goes on the bottom side of your kingpin on the trailer end of the connection, and it keeps everything straight. And then, you know, helps lock everything into place when it's operating. So again, get those here separately at etrailer, you're gonna need some information.

You can find it here separately. Now, automatic slider. What's great about this is you no longer have to get outta your bed, outta your truck rather, go to the side of the bed, pull levers, do those kind of gizmos to make a turn. Now all you gotta do is just start making a turn. And what's gonna happen is it's gonna automatically start going, it's gonna push itself or pull itself all the way into the turn automatically, all the way up to a 90 degree turn.

And when you start going straight, it's gonna pull again. It's gonna basically lock back in straight. And then when you start making your turn, you get so far, it's gonna start pivoting back all the way back. And you can go up to 90 degrees that way. So very nice.

As you can see, it flows really smoothly. Now that being said, I've got this adjusted pretty loose on purpose just for demo. So make sure you read the instructions on adjusting this big screw up here as far as getting that set and everything, but it should be good. Now, as I said, you've got the industry standard rails. I've got these kind of loosely attached for demo today as well. And you got your safety pins that go through those ISR attachment points on those rails. Now, as far as the jaw, it's a self locking hitch plate. As you can see, the head can articulate up and down. Also side to side, I'm not gonna have enough weight to go side to side, but it does have dampeners and it's gonna help cushion that as well. Now everything's been persistently cut by lasers. So these wraparound jaws in here, you get to the side, you lift up the bar, pull it out, I've already got it pulled. And then this is gonna demo our king pin connection. You just simply back into place with your trailer, it's gonna automatically lock. Now I'm captured, I'm going on my way and I'm nice and safe. To unhook, same thing you would pull up and pull out. Now there's a lock here or a latch rather, or a piece of metal welded on the bottom that prevents this bar from pulling out until you lift it up. So to lock this for the instruction, you just put a padlock through here, right around here, and that prevents anyone from lifting this up to then pull it out. So once you got that pulled out, now you can simply just back your trailer up, pull it right out, and you're good to go on your way. Now everything here has been powder coat it to black powder coat construction over steel, and it also has an e coating on the steel itself, and that's gonna be corrosion resistant. You got your main square tubes here, that's what it's sliding on. It's gonna be nice and smooth. Like I was showing you. This has been tested to meet the SAEJ 26 38 standards. You have 18 inches of travel from the back of the cab of the truck to the rear just like this. So 18 inches of travel. The height of this head whenever it's flat from the ground here up is 16 and 3/4 inches tall. The whole unit's pretty heavy, weighs about 200 pounds. So make sure you got some helping hands to help you lift this in and out whenever you're installing it. I had to have a couple guys help me get on the table here today just for safety purposes. So again, make sure you're being safe whenever you're towing number one and whenever you're setting up everything to tow. Well, folks, I think that's gonna wrap it up for our quick look together today. This has been our look at the Pull Rite Super Glide fifth wheel for short bed trucks. Again, you're gonna need those ISR or industry standard above bed rails sold separately. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching. Have a good one.
