Hey Rhonda, welcome back! Yes the Demco Hijacker autoslide part # DM89GV is an auto slider fifth wheel hitch that is confirmed to fit the pucks of the soon to be yours 2028 Ram 3500 short bed you are getting. Congrats on that by the way!
Auto slider hitches are really nice because you basically never have to worry about remembering to activate the slider when you get into tight turns as it all happens automatically. I really like the Demco auto slider over the Pullrite because it is height adjustable as well unlike the Pullrite. What fifth wheel hitch are you towing?

The autoslide is awesome, keep in mind it's 300lb so have some young people helping you.. I have a 2025 3500 ram and with that Demco auto slider in, it takes up alot of space, so just keep in mind I had a manual slider in before but first season using it I hit my cab with my camper, so this slider is worry free!!

I have the Demco 21K in my 2024, 3500 shortbed RAM. I have no issues with the auto-slider. Works as it should.
