Demco Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch 13000The Hijacker AutoSlide fifth wheel hitch was designed for use with recreational style fifth wheel trailers with a 2 Inch king pin only. This hitch is designed for use with short box trucks that have a 6-1/2 Feet box. It is designed to work with standard trailer pin boxes between 12 Inch minimum to 14 Inch maximum width. Optional adapter plates are available for the Demco Glide Ride, Mor/Ryde and 5th Airborne pin boxes. Any use of the AutoSlide hitch, other than its intended use, may void any manufacturer’s warranty(s), expressed or otherwise.The answer for a pickup with a 5-1/2’ or 6’ bed.  The new 13K Autoslide will give you peace of mind not having to worry about cornering in tight spaces, getting in and out of the truck to pull a pin and manually slide the hitch!  Come rain or shine the 13K Autoslide simply makes your life easier.A slider helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a slider to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.Normally, you'd have to get out of your truck and pull a lever to release the slider before every turn, but what if there was an automatic system? Imagine having 22-1/2" of extra clearance while towing your fifth-wheel trailer. Now imagine having this without needing get out of the truck to move your slider. The Demco Hijacker Autoslide makes this fantasy a reality. The Autoslide automatically glides back smoothly when you make a sharp turn so you can maneuver effortlessly around tight corners within campsites and parking lots.The Autoslide has a built-in roller-and-guide assembly that allows for smooth, controlled, and automatic movement. As your truck turns, this assembly also turns. When the assembly turns, an arm in the base of the hitch moves down 1 of 2 tracks in the interior of the base. This action causes the head to be pushed down one of the exterior tracks in the base. So, when your truck makes a sharp, slow-speed turn, the roller-and guide assembly inside the Autoslide forces the hitch head to slide down toward your truck's tailgate in a smooth, controlled motion. This way, any time that your truck turns more than 10 to 15 degrees, the Autoslide will ensure that there is enough clearance for your trailer to complete the turn as well, and it will do so without any jerking or binding.In order for the roller-and-guide assembly to function as designed, the pin box must be stabilized on the hitch head. Normally in a 5th-wheel hitch, the king pin moves inside of the hitch head so that the trailer can turn. With the Autoslide, the king pin remains fixed inside of the jaws of the hitch and it is the hitch head itself that turns. This is thanks to the capture brackets on the sides of the head that brace the pin box from both sides to hold it in place on top of the hitch head.  Features:
