👋 In all honesty, I can't tell the difference between different types of 5th wheel hitches when I'm backing up. Based on my experience, I would argue that there is no difference. However, the fact is that the point that the trailer and truck pivot when turning does change things a bit. Think 5th wheel vs travel trailer. The difference Between backing a travel trailer vs a 5th wheel is pretty big. This is due to the travel trailer pivoting 40+ inches behind the rear axle of the truck and a 5th wheel right over the rear axle. A Superglide keeps this pivoting point over the axle until the truck and trailer reach a 10 degree angle. At this point the pivot point slowly climbs rearward as that angle is being produced. Therefore, I suppose the difference is that the trailer becomes more responsive of the truck forcing the turn as that turn is made. So, the best advice to handle this is to start correcting your truck back in line with the trailer a little bit sooner when backing. (I'm not sure this entirely makes sense but I think you're right, a great video opportunity!

Hey Rick! Sorry for the delay on my response here. You know, this is tough to say because the 16k is PLENTY of hitch for what you are doing today. HOWEVER, if there is a possibility for a larger coach in the future, the price difference now is relatively small and a well maintained Superglide will last for MANY years!

Hey! Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, due to the advertised towing capacity, EXTRA SHORT cab to axle distance, and torque production of the Ram, we only make a 24k that slides 18" for that particular puck system. So, I guess what I'm saying is that the #2315 has some other advantages, beyond the higher capacity, custom tailored for your Ram that the lighter capacity hitches don't offer. If you follow Irene iron travels, you'll soon see that they have recently gotten this exact hitch for their new truck.

@nickthehitchguy7648 I really appreciate the quick reply and information. I mainly asked because I got away from diesel as I don't tow often and went with the 2500 with a hemi but definitely understand what you're saying if I did have the diesel with its hp and tq numbers. I wanted the 8ft bed but as I was buying used, I found a pretty nice truck with options I wanted and price but unfortunately short bed. That 18" of slide travel will definitely be nice! Thanks.

Can you send me a picture of what you have going on? [email protected]

Yes it will! It probably won't be quite as effective as grease but will certainly be a little less messy. I use WD-40 and just give it a squirt every time I hook up vs greasing OCCASIONALLY.

Also, what is the part numbers for the anti-chucking pieces? I looked on the website and couldn’t find them if you could help that would be great. Thanks.

I would say E trailer

Hey Dave!! Not being there and looking things over in just speculating here but I'm going to take a guess anyway. I'm guessing that you were likely "inching" into the kingpin and stopped a bit prematurely. When this happens, the jaw is released(audible click) and pushes up against the side of the pin until the pin finishes its way into the jaw allowing the jaw to finish closing. By slowly creeping into the connection, the truck likely stopped by the pressure of the jaw pushing against it. Had you back into the trailer a bit more, it would have completed latching. Again, this is a guess but one that comes with the experience of doing the EXACT same thing... yelling wife and all!
