Pull Rite makes a great product. I had the slider without the feet that lock-in, and we had slight movement when starting and stopping, but with the puck system, I'm sure it's locked tight. It drove excellently with my truck and was easier to align than my current Reese goose box ball. That said, I love the Reese product. It's smooth but pricey and may not be for everyone. Options are great!

[@luvRVing]

And this video is EXACTLY why we put our money(a lot of it) into Pullrite. We also have the Pullrite superglide 16K hitch. They truly demonstrate what transparency really looks like. Love that company!!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Right on! 👍

[@jjones5424]

I am so glad you talked about ALL the variables, It VALIDATES what I told customer's FOR YEARS!! So many customers would tell me, "everybody has told me, with a short bed truck you need a slide hitch". "And you are telling me I don't". This played out over and over again for years!! You hit it on the head, 1) what truck, 2) what 5th wheel, 3) what pin box on that 5th wheel, all of those things determine 4) What hitch options are appropriate!!! One I'm retired now, Thank God.......and two, I don't worry with a motorhome!!!!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes! So many variables! 😂😂

[@bobstellmaker3816]

I own an Anderson hitch it's steel and not aluminum it's also on a 8-ft bed but I love it I went from a 200 pound hitch to a 40 lb hitch I have been towing for 6 years on this hitch an absolutely no problems

[@RoadieWingZZ]

Love the variability and light weight of the system with the king pin adapter and funnel receiver. This will definitely be what we use when we go to a fifth wheel 👍

[@IreneIronTravels]

@RoadieWingZZ nice! Glad to hear! 😊

[@IreneIronTravels]

@bobstellmaker3816 nice! Thanks for sharing that !

[@BK-dv1hh]

Great job with this very informative video! I’ve had a super glide since my first 5th wheel and shoebox run in ‘05. I still have a short bed F-350 and a second Super Glide. We do a lot of boondocking, dry camping on rough, uneven ground. The Super Glide gives us as much free board space above the bed rails, and true 90* turns. I went with the Super Glide over a lever release hitch because I know that I can tend to be a little lazy, especially after a long travel day. However there is one overwhelming better thing than their hitches….their customer service! They have bailed me out twice in the last 20 years(my operator error). I could write another several paragraphs about their care and concern with customer questions and problems.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Great to hear! Thanks for sharing that!

[@mad125100]

Based on this demonstration, i will be purchasing this hitch. I like the removability and it is lightweight. Seems to be well built.

[@laurelnowak7798]

Hey Aaron and Chris!! Great video, wondering if you would consider doing a video on the Goose neck hitch? 😊

[@Rollout123]

Thanks for the overview of the new hitches...think I'll stay with my Superglide...never really worry about cab to trailer contact. They didn't mention the downsides of moving the pin back 4-7" behind the axel.

[@IreneIronTravels]

I hear ya! We love our Superglide too! But it was fun to try out a couple of other styes!

[@carmancloud]

Your usual awesome approach to information, Aaron! 🙌

[@IreneIronTravels]

I appreciate that! Thanks Carman!

[@earlhamil731]

My F450 with the B&W hitch mounted to the gooseneck went 138,000 miles with no problem.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Whoa! That a lot a miles! Thanks for sharing that!

[@seawolff33]

Good video. The drone shot overhead was really helpful.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks! Yes, I’m glad the drone shot turned out!

[@Rtd_astro]

Irene is awesome behind the camera. Very cool informative video.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks for watching ! 😊

[@Seabee_Camper]

One other consideration: as you move the pin rearward, you are increasing the weight on the rear axle of the truck. Not a big deal with a dualie, but a single rear axle 2500 or 3500 with a diesel might run out of payload.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes, very true! Thats one reason we love the Superglide. It’s over the axle while driving straight and automatically moves back while turning. Then moves back over the axle as you pull straight.

[@WeActuallyDidItChannel]

We are in the market for a hitch and looking right now. We are about to go full time and need to make a decision ASAP, so great timing. Thank you!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Nice! Glad to help! 😊

[@dougwilliams3276]

I just learned a lot! Thank YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO

[@IreneIronTravels]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching! This was a really fun video to shoot!

[@AJGUNNER]

You are too cute, by the way I just came back from RVing with my friends Rebecca and Todd, left Minnesota, visited South Dakota, Badlands, Wisconsin, Mt Rushmore, and Crazy Horse had so much fun thought of you Guy's.

[@sarahmcarthur9107]

Ever since you went to Corvallis, Oregon to get the alternative cover to slide toppers, and also got the permanent ceramic (?) coating on your RV we've been waiting for the long-term evaluation of both of those--they weren't on the bumper-pull trailer you had (and now don't) were they? We're really curious about how both of those turned out. We love your videos and I've even used a lot of Chris's tips for cooking in a smaller RV. You guys rock! (We were right there with you when you bought the Ram dually--we had just gotten one ourselves and still love it for many of the same reasons you've talked about).

[@Markpatrickrich]

Great episode I have the super lite with ball a funnel. I like the hitching up. I’ve used it over a year not sure it’s the best for my large fifth wheel with long bed ford f350 I sure would like to talk to Nick

[@IreneIronTravels]

Hey Mark! You can reach out to Nick via email and ask him what he thinks. [e-mail] Thanks for watching!

[@Markpatrickrich]

@@IreneIronTravels thank you so much safe travels. I enjoy your channel.

[@BarryJones-c3q]

The only issue I have with my OEX hitch is the unhooking. If the ball setup makes it a lot easier I'm all for that. I hate having to nudge back and forth.

[@jimf1450]

24 Ram 3500 short bed owner. My truck didn't have factory 5th wheel prep so I installed B&W turnover ball which probably the most common aftermarket, it would be nice to see some other hitch manufacturers offer a 5th wheel that fits into the B&W. I'm shopping for a new toy hauler & if I get a 5th wheel I'll probably put a goose box on it but I still want a lighter 5th wheel hitch for the truck.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@toddpressman184]

Great review I have the Anderson and have been looking at that one.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Awesome, thanks!

[@TFader61]

We have a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500, we use a Reese sidewinder fifth wheel pin box for short bed towing and a B&W Companion. No problem with 90 degree turns.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Nice! Thanks for sharing that!

[@danrandall794]

Don't tow anything but was very interesting. Loved the WD-40 dig LOL. Chris once again rocked it. Maybe time for her to do a NASCAR check ride.

[@IreneIronTravels]

🏁🏎️ Chris says she’s ready! 😂

[@danrandall794]

Would make a great video. First time forward and she is so good at backing she can do a couple 150 MPH laps in reverse.

[@kevincameron8437]

the puck system in the RAM is one of the disadvantages of a hitch system. I just don't know why RAM does it that way. But, they do build a great truck...I loved my 2016 CTD 2500...it was a towing machine..Thanks for the great info

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes, I was pretty surprised going from a Ford to a Ram…. It’s huge! Feels sturdy towing…but does it need to be that big! 😂

[@TraconWizard]

I heard it's bc of the frame underneath the box. The pucks go into the frame. The Ford frame is simply tighter.

[@dennismartin434]

Love watching your videos

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks! Appreciate ya watching!😊

[@mattcruz5915]

Great informative video. Have you seen the new Curt crosswing? Another great option for short beds with almost 9 inches of offset while still distributing the weight over the rear axle

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks! I have heard of the Crosswing, but I haven't seen one in real life. Have you tried one?

[@mattcruz5915]

@@IreneIronTravels yep I did some research and ended up choosing that one. Haven’t used it yet though. Hopefully we pickup the Brinkley in a week or so 🤩

[@IreneIronTravels]

@mattcruz5915 Nice, congrats on the new RV!

[@TraconWizard]

We've had the crosswing for almost 2 yrs & 20k miles. No problems, and they recommend a dry lube, not WD40. One piece does need to be checked to 300 lb/ft of torque. Daddy needs a new tool. Does take some practice connecting, sometimes the nipple on bottom of piece on king pin doesn't want to seat into cup. Just off by 1 inch.

[@wjk8168]

loved your video - thank you ... got lots from it. i am in process of transitioning from travel trailer to 5th wheel - i'm coming to the understanding that while nice to have ability to make a 90 degree turn it is not necessary for the majority of most "every day" 5th wheel travel ... if you were actually towing a similar "smaller" 5th wheel like the reflection used in this video coupled with the oex .. would this combination provide enough turning degree to have accommodated 100 percent of your recent (last year or so) travel ... i am trying to understand how much turning degree would be a min requirement in order to successfully move a 5th wheel in most situations.

[@IreneIronTravels]

We had a couple of campsites that were really nerve-wracking to back into and I don't think we could have without our slider hitch. But like we said in the video, being able to forward turn (on flat ground) without hitting is a big relief off the mental checklist. So I think it would work in a lot of situations.... but not 100%. So that's the reason we've went with the auto Superglide hitch. But I think the OEX makes a lot of sense for a lot of people/situations.

[@lostsheepdown]

We've been full time for a few years and it's definitely not necessary to turn 90 degrees. I've been close a couple times but just need to pay attention. We have the short bed Ram and have a GenY gooseneck. I would not give up my GenY and the use of my whole bed. It's awesome and you don't have the jarring of the trailer from slamming the 5th wheel pin into place. My 2 cents.

[@bishopgeorge1333]

Awesome, I had the superlite single point Pullrite on my ram at first I thought it was it was okay but the bolts that get attached to the king pin would always bend, I see though that they have a different design so it might not do that on this one.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes, it looked pretty secure with all those bolts! 👍

[@bishopgeorge1333]

@@IreneIronTravels I had the old one, where the part that goes on the king pin only had 4 bolts I see that one have 6 bolts might be a game changer.

[@JavierRivera]

The Glide one is cool, BUT I still prefer the Gen-Y Executive Fifth Wheel (Torsion-Flex) Gooseneck.

[@Semper_3.14]

Me too. We switched over the pin box to the Gen-Y and can’t be happier.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Nice. I haven't seen the Gen Y in person yet.

[@Semper_3.14]

@@IreneIronTravels I think it’s definitely worth a look. It will void the warranty for some frame manufacturers but not ours. The ride is so smooth and we have our entire bed space even when hooked up.

[@IreneIronTravels]

The voided warranty definitely scares a lot of people. Would be cool to check out though. 👍

[@lostsheepdown]

Absolutely, Gen Y gooseneck all the way.

[@OmahaWayne]

Good showing of the hitch, never been a fan of pullrite myself. The B&W is so much quieter then my pullrite ever was. I noticed when you set the ball in the hitch that you were done. I thought the law was that if you use a ball system that you have to use safety chains, is that not the case with the pullrite?

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks! Do you mean B&W slider? They don’t have an auto slider like Pullrite. I believe chains are law in some states with gooseneck style hitches, but not sure….

[@OmahaWayne]

@@IreneIronTravels I had the same hitch as you on my short bed then went to a long bed and have the regular B&W on pucks. The autoslider was so noisy on starts and stops. Iowa and Nebraska require you to have chains if you have a ball hitch. Might not be the same in every state. GREAT video, appreciate all the work you went through to show the different hitches

[@IreneIronTravels]

@OmahaWayne ahhh yes I know what you’re saying. The Superglide does have some noise on starts and stops . Appreciate ya watching and checking out the new hitch!

[@GenderSkins]

I wonder if they have this hitch for 2001 Ford Rangers, or even modern Ford Rangers as it would be nice to have on a compact truck for towing 5th wheel trailers like the Scamp.

[@IreneIronTravels]

If you put in the Industry Standard Rails (ISR) in your bed you'd be able to add on this hitch.

[@craigwesson7913]

I have the OE hitch I've a long bed and I love it. It is solid pull and easy to hitch on and off.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Nice!

[@lordTowle]

Some one must have gotten "in trouble" for bending their hitch parts.... LOL I don't like the drop in style, that's just me. One of the nice things about a 5th wheel is not having to lift up the front. Also, would have loved to seen this with your trailer. Cheers

[@IreneIronTravels]

😂 yes! I agree the standard 5th hitch is nice. But I kinda liked that ball style too!

[@brown1william]

Is this available if you have an older truck that does not have these puck systems?

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes they will have it available for the ISR (industry standard rails) that a lot of older trucks have or that didn't come with the factory pucks.

[@jonschryver9986]

Whose bed cover do you have?

[@IreneIronTravels]

We have the Gator Cover ETX Tri fold amzn.to/3TDAbYg Nice USA made cover for under $300 bucks.

[@azcharlie2009]

The only problem with WD40 is it attracts dirt. And, when I say attracts, I mean it will get really dirty! Clean it often, and replace it, and you'll probably be alright.

[@IreneIronTravels]

IDK… after 15k miles using WD40 on the hitch we can say it’s pretty good 👍

[@joecamp5026]

Another freebie, good for you.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Freebie?

[@RoadieWingZZ]

I think they just demo’d the OEX, but kept their original slider when the recording session was over…..???

[@missouritravelers]

We have an 8 ft bed and a puck system on our Ford 1 ton how do you find an installe

Not sure of the purpose of doing this commercial if you didn't even try it on your own 5th wheel. I think I will stick to my tried and true B&W 25k hitch.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Hey John! The purpose was to share a new 5th wheel hitch with the RV community. As mentioned a few times in the video there are a lot of variables for everyone's situation. I didn't think using a different RV would matter to the folks watching as their setups are different as well. (On a selfish note...I do wish we would have hitched up to our RV as well! We just ran out of time.) Image if we only had one option as a consumer! Glad to hear you like your B&W. They make a great hitch! I consider Pullrite just as tried and true in the hitch industry.... making them for over 40 years here in the US!
