Weight and Ease of Removal of the Demco Hijacker UMS
Updated 10/14/2015 | Published 10/13/2015
Question:
I am looking at the Demco 8550033 fifth wheel hitch for my Ford F350 8foot bed with the factory fifth wheel prep. How much does it weigh? To remove the hitch is it easy to separate the head from the base/saddle to minimize the weight I would have to lift?

Expert Reply:
The total weight of the Demco Hijacker UMS Double Pivot 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550033 that you referenced is 177 lbs. You pretty easily remove the center section from the rest of the hitch to make removing it easier.
I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
