Question:
I currently have a 21k lb auto sliding hitch I got from etrailer a few years ago that weighs in the neighborhood of ~450bs assembled. I dont remove it often, but doing so is a bear. How much does this manual sliding hitch weigh? I didnt not see any other options, but are there any other 20k+ lb Ford puck manual sliding hitches available?

Hello John, thanks for reaching out. The Demco Autoslide Hitch # DM8550038 is certainly heavy, so I definitely understand where you are coming from.
The Demco Manual Slider for the Ford Prep package # DM24YV weighs 210 lbs so it will be a bit easier to manage than the autoslide.
We also have the B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3370 which weighs about 260 lbs. B&W makes a very solid hitch, but if you are going for the lightest option, the Demco will be your best bet.

Thank you for that information Jesse. The general consensus for B&W seems to be very positive. Like the Demco Autoslide hitch head with one large bolt/cotter pin, can the B&W Companion Slider hitch head be removed fairly easily to further reduce the overall weight when installing or removing the hitch assembly?
