Question:
Difference between Demco DM8550038 and DM8550037?
asked by: Patrick
Helpful Expert Reply:
The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch part # DM8550038 and the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch part # DM8550037 are the same hitch. The only difference is the side plates they come with, the former has side plates for the puck system on a Ford Super Duty whereas the latter has side plates to mount with Demco's underbed pucks which are different from the puck system on a Ford Super Duty. If you don't have the Ford puck system then you will need the Underbed Rail and Installation Kit for Demco Hijacker part # DM8551009 to obtain the Demco puck system and use the latter hitch.
