Question:

About to order the Demco 21K above autoslide 5th wheel hitch. I have rails installed in my truck bed already for my current Pro-Series hitch and wanted to confirm that the side mounting rails ARE included with the hitch.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'side mounting rails'. The Demco # DM8550035 Hijacker Autoslide is compatible with industry standard bed mounting rails like those from Reese, Curt, Husky, Valley, Pro Series and B & W, so the hitch will be compatible with your existing Pro Series bed rails.

The Hijacker Autoslide will eliminate the need to manually release the hitch sliding mechanism. Once the trailer is at a certain angle to the truck, the sliding mechanism releases, allowing 14 inches of additional clearance between the fifth wheel and the rear of the truck cab.
