PullRite SuperGlide 2700 16k 18K 5th Wheel Hitch Review

Quick review of my PullRite SuperGlide 2700 16k 5th Wheel Hitch. I use it to pull my 38' Toyhauler.
Update 11-23-18 Pullrite sent me a liter hitch of theirs called the Pullrite Super Lite! Please Subscribe and watch for an updated video to come out soon on that hitch!!
Update 01-12-17 it was asked in a question below but you also need to be pretty straight with your trailer as well when you are disconnecting from the Hitch. You can't do it at an angle.
Update 11-4-16: attached is a link to figure out what capture plate you need for your specific 5th Wheel based off what pin box was used during manufacturing.

[@ryangreer3324]

So what does the hitch do when you have to make a sharp turn in reverse?

[@raydeason1869]

Would like to have seen how hitch handled a 90 degree back/forward turn.

[@dancarlin5434]

They handle 90deg fine

[@vincentgonzales8917]

Nobody has shown that domo. Big deal that you turn in drive. I want to see that tight reverse turn. That is the true test.

[@Skyhawk172m1]

I've had this hitch since 2018 in my Chev 2500HD Duramax. Hitch has held up very well and I wouldn't trade it for any other hitch. I too use a 2 ton HF engine hoist to remove and re install. Added an extension to the boom to reach the hitch. I take the top 5th wheel plate off and use a steal bar between the two pivot points for the top to hook a chain onto along with a stabilizing chain to keep it level. I can do this with the tail gate down. I then just put the hitch on a rolling 4 wheel cart to move it to where I need to store it. This 5th wheel that I have is my first and I'm glad the dealers parts dept. had this in stock. I installed the hitch and rail kit myself. Great hitch and would recommend it to all 5th wheel owners with a short bed truck.

[@zenchickthatbuildsstuff]

You don't have to be perfectly aligned. I have this hitch and have been severely unleveled backed in on a hill and angled quite a few times and have gotten attached and detached from it. They say you have to have the hitch straight but whenever I've needed I have rotated the hitch or angled it to get it to align and it's worked every single time.

[@josephrawls]

That makes sense. I would love to see a video on that.

[@dramc-ov3cp]

That is exactly correct, I rarely have the room to back straight in.

[@littleaub594]

That's a good one, so easy to use, we install one just like it but you have to put it up front locked and when you get to where your going then you move it to the back and lock it just for the tight turns.grate video, thanks.

[@tonymirabelli7031]

Great video. I will be hooking up my new Ford F-250 (soon as they make it!) to exact same Pullrite 16K auto slider hitch. I’m bit concerned about fifth wheel/truck bed clearance. There is no adjustment right? How much clearance do you have on your truck. Do they make truck beds & pin heights a standard height? So what happens if you need to unhitch or hitch at an angle. Is it still possible. Sorry for aLl the questions, never towed a fifth wheel, always towed travel trailers. Thanks again for the informative video.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Just got ours installed. Going to pick up our new fifth wheel tomorrow. We have a Mega Cab Ram 3500. We will let you know how it goes.

[@richardray1942]

Best Video of the hitch in motion. Thanks

[@johnandstephaniewebb289]

Awesome Video! We have a PullRite Superglide 24K hitch and Shawn is correct about having to make sure you come in straight to hook up. Hitch has to be aligned for it to connect.

[@duramaxbradentonsaltwaterf9471]

I installed new pull rite.. bought a new long bed with a curt.. I didn't know to remove capture plate. Ruined new curt due to capture plate.. camping world sucks!

[@robbiejk9613]

Curts are GREAT and the guys on the phone are really cool and professional, but Camping World is an absolute failing business.

[@vincentgonzales8917]

To remove the very heavy Superglide I bought a 2k engine hoist from Harbor Freight and the Demco 6100. I had to make a modification to the hoist. I extended the arm 11 inches by inserting a 4 foot 2x2 steel square pipe into the sliding original piece. Using the original pipe as my template I made my holes and cut for the chain. I now can lift the hitch up with the tail gate closed and roll the hitch backwards the tailgate. I then open the tailgate and drive forward. The front of the hitch is heavy and will tilt down so I use a tie down strap under the two slider rails and over the arm and ratchet snug to keep level. This will be necessary when reinstalling.

[@VctryRider]

Hey, I own the same hitch... Love the automatic slide feature. Have some trouble releasing the jaws from the kingpin at times. Seems I have to be straight in even when unhooking. I called the Pull Rite hitch rep and he suggested once the 5er was in position, to chock the wheels and back into the RV maybe 1” to take the pressure off the hitch. We will see if that helps. One trip, I had to undo the pins holding the hitch head and lift the RV + hitch head off the 5th wheel hitch base!

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

I too had a similar issue of if there’s too much tension on the jaws it won’t release when you try to pull the handle. The fix was exactly what Pullrite suggested of release the tension off the hitch by backing up just a hair. Worked perfect. Safe travels!

[@FixItPleaseJ]

The owners manual says you have to be within 16 degrees of straight.

[@dramc-ov3cp]

That's what I do, works every time, take the load off the jaws.

[@ljharvey4829]

[@philsalsbery9994]

Dude, fantastic video. I have been looking for a solution as I just ordered a 2017 RAM 3500 mega cab short box SWR Limited with the Ram Boxes. Everyone, including Ram and the dealer says no way for 5th wheel towing with the Ram Boxes. However, I have met guys in Phoenix, AZ during our annual baseball spring training trips who have Ram Box equipped trucks, both 2500 & 3500 with zero issues while towing big ass 5th wheel Montana size 5th wheels. My wife wants a new 2017 Montana 3660RL 5th wheel, so I need a bigger tow vehicle than my old 2002 Tundra with which I have been dragging around our current 29 foot travel trailer, with no problems. Now I need to find the best 5th wheel hitch for pulling a 39 foot Montana 5th wheel trailer, with clearance to not impact the cab of my truck. Reese makes a nice set up but moves the pivot point back 22 inches at all times. I like the Pull Rite in your video as the full weight is over the rear ax;le of the truck aside from while turning. This looks to be the best solution for me. Any thoughts or advice from you? Thanks - Phil Salsbery - Huntington Beach, CA.

[@brianm7079]

Just bought a new 5th wheel and a Pullrite Superglide and appreciated your video. I'm having a lot of difficulty pulling the yellow tipped lever to unlock the hitch. After about 10 tries, I finally managed to pull it out. The demonstrator at the RV dealer made it look so easy. Is there a trick to it?

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

+Brian M hey Brian glad you liked the video, the trick to it is making sure there is little forward or backward pressure on the jaws of the hitch before you pull the yellow release handle. What I mean by that (I take no liability in this) but as an example is if you back your trailer in, put the landing gear down and chock the wheels to take pressure off of the 5th wheel plate then I literally will put the truck in drive and just barely let it roll forward let let pressure off of the jaws of the hitch then put it back in park and pull the yellow release. Or if your in a pull through spot I do the opposite, after I put the landing get down I will to take weight off the plate I will back up to take pressure off of the jaws. It doesn't happen to me to often and I've really only experienced that when I'm parking on a slight incline or decline. Hope that helps and happy camping.

[@SPU858]

Nice job. Your right, there aren't many videos on this hitch. Will be purchasing one soon. Thanks for sharing.

[@justreese2874]

Great video. Makes me feel comfortable about purchasing a SB bed truck and there being a quality product on the market to solve the SB problems when towing a 5th wheel. Very well done. Happy Camping.

[@longshot5738]

I may be wrong about this, and probably am. But if the hitch slides back and forth while pulling the trailer/rv, wouldn’t it slam forward really hard if you had to stop really quick? Also what keeps it forward while you’re pulling with it. The reason I ask this is because you were able to pull it back and forth and side to side easily yourself.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

Great question but it the hitch will only rotate forward and backward during a turn. It will not slide when moving straight forward or straight back. The capture plate that is bolted to the pin box is what makes everything work like it does.

[@bobloy8419]

I've got a Silverado 1500 double cab with a 6.5' bed. I have a toolbox in the bed now... I am installing it tomorrow, do you think I'll be able to keep the tool box in the truck while towing the camper? I'm excited to put this in... this is our first camper; 25' older 5th wheel.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

Absolutely! Should have no problem keeping the tool box. A friend of mine runs that exact same setup in the bed of his truck without issues. Only thing to watch for is clearance between the top of the tool box and bottom of the 5th wheel cap when taking turns through dips in the road etc.

Hi Shawn, THANK YOU for the video on the super slider hitch.I noticed on the video how clean your hitch!

Thank You again, keep up the good work.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

Thank you! And no I don’t have a specific company to recommend, 99.9% of all rv dealerships will probably carry this hitch and can install it. I’d just look for the best deal on it with install and go that route.

[@craigpurcell8360]

I have this hitch but it came with a block. The guy Saif you'll know what to do with it once you get everything hooked up. Can't figure out where it and I didn't see it in your video

[@desertforrest]

Good video...thanks for taking the time... not as complicated as I thought it would be.

[@puroarl1]

Can't back at an angle? That's not a small problem, that's a deal breaker. We full time RV and "back straight in" are almost nonexistent. Thanks for the heads up.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

I would suggest looking at the Pullrite Superlite for your application then. It’s not a slider but I have the same turning radius as my super glide using the superlite and you can hitch up at any angle, plus it only weighs 50lbs.

[@dramc-ov3cp]

It works fine, just compensate for the trailer moving back and forth a bit, no big deal.

[@cavscout78mr]

Thanks allot bro, great video. Especially the demonstration on how it moves when your driving.

[@smeldraper]

I am purchasing a 5th wheel. The owner gave me the above mentioned hitch that fits in my rails with no problem. However everywhere I read about this setup it mentions it is for a short bed truck. My truck is a long bed. I'll can look into getting something else but was wondering if there would be any problems using it as it is til I get a replacement.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

This Hitch is not going to be any worse because you have a long bed. It was designed to give short beds more room when making tight turns but a long bed can utilize it just the same even though it's not really needed. I'd save yourself the Money on buying a new Hitch and get a good set of airbags if you don't have any yet!

If you own a Dodge it will not clear if you have a slide tonnuea cover with the box steel frame mounts. you will have to install the lower bed mount. 1-1/4" from the bed to the top of the mount. like the one in the video. if you order it and it comes with the 3" box steel rails. it won't close.

[@edwardmitchell8574]

So I just got one so how does it stay in the middle or in front of slider so what I mean is when you go in drive and go straight forward will it slide towards the back how does it stay does this make sense I’m confused

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

Great question, but it’s completely in the design of the hitch how it rotates back and forth. The only way it can rotate backward is when the head of the hitch turns one direction or the other. If the head is straight with the truck it will stay at its forward position. Hard to make sense of, but I’d rotate it with the 5th wheel disconnected so you can see how it operates.

[@benreed5786]

Great Video, I would like to see you make tighter turns to show the full function with the full slide mechanism. Thanks.

[@jeffenger1397]

Not much mention of the capture plate. This hitch will not work unless you have one. You can not tow anyone else's 5th wheel without the appropriate capture plate. This hitch is not a one size fits all. Mine is dedicated to my TT and it's the only thing I tow. Fantastic hitch though.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

100% correct! There are lots of different pin boxes. They make several different capture plates. Pick the plate that works for your pin box or you can buy a universal plate that you screw into the base of your pin box.

I did add airlift airbags in the rear which have been awesome for leveling the truck back out. I'm tuned on EFI Live which also helps out with towing. Hope this helps you make your decision, lastly I love my Carbon, I'm currently living in it full time with my wife and 2 year old daughter while our new house is being built!

[@bengiovanelli3898]

I added Airlifts on the rear about a month ago. Have a 10 year old bumper pull that we've schlepped all over hell's half acre. Poor girl is wore out, and my kids are now into RZRs. So time for a toy hauler. Can I fit 2 2 seat RZRs in the back of an 11' garage? Thinking a tight squeeze if at all. Glad to hear you've had success with the short box and a 35' 5th wheel. I was a little concerned but now, feel much better. Love the L5P. It's a Pepperdust Metallic High Country. Did a BDS coilover and a 3" lift (rear not really at all just trying to get it level). Pulls the 11,000lb TT like it's not even back there. Headed east in a few weeks and wanted to get a new rig for the trip. Now I'm fired up, lol. Thanks!

Newbe to 5th wheel towing. But it wasn't clear, do you have to leave the tail gate down for clearance?

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

No you can have your tailgate up!

[@raydavid2624]

As with any Fifth wheel you must put the tailgate down when connecting or disconnecting your trailer. Once connected, you may put the tailgate up. Then you must lower the tailgate to disconnect. Also. in-spite of the video's claim. you CAN attach at an angle but you Must have a mechanical aptitude to do so. I have manged as much as forty five degrees, but it is not easy. More than that is even more difficult but I can tell you that I would not want to try unless there was absolutely no other way.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

+dan theman I haven't measured that and it won't be until another month or so before I hook up to the 5er again. I will say that there are several styles of pin boxes that could potentially effect that measurement. So what mine measures might be completely different from what yours measures.

I just got this hitch, Question can I hitch and unhitch at an angel? i dont mean 90 degrees, the place where i store it is level, however my truck will be a slight angel? by the way thank for the video.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

While it always works better to hitch up as straight as you can be in line with the trailer, you can hitch up at up to around 8° angle from straight on. It definitely takes a little more finesse when doing that though so the hitch doesn’t bind up with the capture plate.

[@805r4god]

I have another question, When i hitch it....I know the lever locks and moves on its own as the claw grabs the king pin However is there a way to put a safety pin so that lever never disengages out of the lock positions while towing? I seen other hitches with this safety feature? thank for your time.

[@nikefutbol13]

I have the same hitch. Use a padlock. Holds it in place and adds a little security.

[@jamescouture9193]

I just bought one of these and my capture plate is not bolted on, but is held by a pressure bolt and a nylon spacer between the bolt and the front of the King pin. Should I worry that this pressure bolt will need constant tightening?

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

I never had an issue with my capture plate loosening up. You could always put a dab of locktite on the threads of the bolt and tighten it down really good.

[@MrJeremypkpl]

I unhitched this hitch today at about a 25-30 degree angle. Is that bad? Or, is this only a problem while hitching?

Great video - Just purchased 40' fiver and PullRite 2700. Only issue so far is keeping the capture plate tight to the pin box - it fell off the very first time I unhitched and had to re-tighten. Hope this does not become a "permanent" issue.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

Ron, sorry for the delayed response. To answer your questions: yes this will work for your bed, I don’t know how wide your 5th wheel is so I can’t answer that. This is a two person job to remove it unless you have access to an engine hoist which is what I use to remove mine. The rails are all that remain in the bed unless you purchase the pullrite super rail kit that you can remove everything and have a completely empty bed. Hope this answers your questions!

[@garymcclister231]

Do you have to unbolt it or is there pins you can pull? Also when removed is just the bed rails left in the truck?

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

Gary McClister there are four pins to pull to release it from the rails. When removed, yes it is only the rails left.

[@scottvasey5035]

why is there not a lock that locks the handle in place so the trailer can't disconnect while driving? Is there some safety mechanism that I can't see? My old fifth wheel had a lock that would go around the handle of the hitch so it could not open.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

Scott there is a built in locking spring mechanism on the handle that prevents it from disengaging once the jaws are locked shut. You have to forcefully pull on the handle to unlock it.

[@earlbarnes300]

Great Video Shawn, and thank you. I have a Pullrite 4100, and I really like it. After seeing your video, I do have a question about the positioning of the hitch plate when connecting. It appears from the video that the plate is in a horizontal position when backing into the kingpin. According to my owner's manual, the hitch plate should be angled downward so the capture plate on the RV rides up before the kingpin locks in. It appears your hookup procedure is very smooth. What do you think? Thanks.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

+Earl Barnes When I first got my hitch i tried it both ways and found it to be a much “harsher” engagement at an angle than with lining it up fairly flat. I do keep a very minor angle on it but make sure that the pin rides a few millimeters above the hitch plate which gives me a smooth engagement.

[@stevenrayl3845]

This is a good hitch. However, you must be almost straight to hook and unhook. I was in a campsite that was very small and got off the pavement and got stuck in an inch of mud. I was at a 30 degree angle. I wasn't able to unhook and move the truck to the pavement and then rehook due to the angle. I have this hitch for sale.

[@nvrlate2220]

In a pinch all you gotta do it pull the 2 pins holding the head to the slider part and it will lift off with the fifth wheel when you raise it..just a little pain to line back up but does work in a pinch.

[@scottwoods891]

does the hitch operate the same when backing up like it does when going forward so you can make 90 degree corners when backing .How easy is to remove the hitch when not in use. Is it bolted down down or pined down to the rails,

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

Yes it sure will! It is a heavy hitch not hard to move but definitely takes a couple guys or a cherry picker, it is pinned down to the rails or you can buy a pullrite super rail kit

[@mikecelaya1]

Hi shawn, thanks for the informative video, I have the same model just an older version. The problem I seem to have is when coming to a stop and taking off from a stop the hitch seems to jerk a little bit. Seems like it should only move on turns. Your thoughts?

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

The jerking may come from the stop screw at the front of the hitch needing re adjusted

[@shanekunkleman2358]

Outstanding video. I got one because of your great video. Thank you! One question, what lube do you use to keep it sliding smooth? Salesperson said WD40?

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

+Shane Kunkleman glad I was able to help you make a great decision! I use Wd-40 on my rails throughout the camping season. I typically apply it to a terry cloth and wipe them down so I don't get excess all over making a mess.

[@shanekunkleman2358]

Hey buddy. Can you send a pic on how your plate is hooked to pin? Mine kicks falling off. We are headed out tomorrow and I can't get it to stay on

Hi Shawn - thanks for the video. I am in process of getting one of these and it is my very first experience with a 5th wheel. My question is, coming from only having experience with bumper pulling, when your towing with this, does it make a lot of noise? Or what kind of sounds/rattling etc should I expect from this since I've never operated one yet. Thanks.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

You will hear pretty minimal noise when towing. When you are backing up or making a tight turn you may hear some squeeking or small clunks here or there but that’s about it.

[@orlandobarrera4689]

Can I get the part number for the capture plate please ?

[@ralphlogan8661]

great vid Shawn... couple of comments though..... 1 @ 1"33- . it is not a 16thousand "ton" hitch... it is a 16 thousand "pound" hitch. 2 @ 1:30 .you mentioned that ithere are a lot of "rotating hitches out there"... I think you meant to say "sliding hitches out there"... other than those..... you did a great job of reviewing this hitch. It helped me tremendously, especially the part of the vid showing it actually working. Thanks again and keep the vids coming.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

Thank you, always appreciate constructive criticism!

[@patpartain5211]

Ralph Logan it is actually a rotating hitch, that’s why it uses a capture plate, because the head actually rotates..

[@johngfortner]

What about Unhooking? How straight do you have to be for that?

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

+johngfortner within about 10° left or right of straight is ideal and about the max angle before you'll experience bad binding. I try to keep as straight as possible.

[@RosalvaSoboleski]

great video. thank you

[@superchad2]

If you’re still using this you might want to update the pricing about $2800 for that now for the 16 K thanks for let me know about that plate had it installed waiting to get my fifth wheel didn’t know about that plate

I just checked their website cause that is a HUGE price increase. They have the 16k at $1528 as of 10/24/21

[@manuelguzmanjr6622]

thank you for the video. What kind of truck you have? year, make and model and payload capacity and so on. I am looking for a 2019 year truck to pull a fifth wheel.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

The truck in the video was a 2002 Silverado 2500hd Duramax. I currently own a 2017 Sierra 3500HD SRW Duramax pulling the same 5th wheel in the video.

[@scotts.nowalk1627]

Great job, very informative, I just bought a used pullrite super glide 2700.

[@mikerustay4687]

Thanks for the video. is there any clunking or noise on everyday driving with no trailer attached. is is under bed rail. I want to install a bed cover to keep my tools protected while I am not traveling

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

+Mike Rustay there can be a little clunking while driving when breaking hard or accelerating quickly it can cause the Hitch to move forward or backward. My remedy was to cut 2x4's and place them in the slots that the Hitch rides on to keep it from sliding. On my truck (02 Silverado) the Hitch does sit below the bed rails so a cover would be no issue, if you have a similar truck I'm sure you'd be fine.

[@mikerustay4687]

Thanks Shawn

[@mrustay]

I purchased the 2900 and am currently installing it. Does it pivot when backing? another way of asking is when backing will it do the same as when moving forward?

[@josephnoker6376]

Questions. I am new to the fifth wheel family. I have pulled travel trailers for well over 20 years. And I am having a bit of trouble getting used to backing in with our fifth wheel. I have a Pro Series hitch. Pivoting seems restricted. I too have a long bed, but I am looking for a replacement to the current hitch. Would this series hitch be a viable option?

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

Yes this will work with both short and long beds to give you better pivoting when making tighter radius turns.

[@josephnoker6376]

Thank yo.

[@esiquiocervantes1293]

does it slide back if you making a 90 degree turn in reverse?

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

+Esiquio Cervantes yes it sure does!

[@genesnyder2985]

Other than being lined up to hook or drop is backing around a corner work ok or does it not slide back?

[@ryangreer3324]

I'm wondering the same thing about backing up

[@kallen52]

Newbie question - haven't pulled a 5th wheel yet. Since there's so much rotation - do you feel the trailer move to the side when a tractor trailer passes on the Interstate?

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

A big benefit of a 5th wheel is not having to get wind blown when a semi passes unlike smaller bumper pulls. The hitch has no effect on sides to side sway.

[@werewolf5674]

Just what I have wanted to know. Thanks.

[@richmondharwood2338]

Best hitch on the market....... Love mine.

Dont have to use safety chains?? Just put super glide in truck. First tow will be this weekend but noticed no where for safety chains. Have always had a gooseneck adapter on camper and just decided to try the super glide out. By the looks of your video you dont use them.. great video by the way!!

[@tularockstar]

Chains are not required when you use a fifth wheel hitch. Only goose neck.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

Kenny James thank you for the feedback! and as stated above chains are not required for a 5th wheel hitch! Happy camping!

[@tipaulfla2]

I just recently bought my first 5th wheel. The dealer is installing it into my truck next week. I was quoted a price of $2900 for the whole job, hitch, rails, installing the 7 pin plug into back of bed of truck. Being a newbie in this, is this a fair price. I live in Florida and will not name the dealer. Thanks in advance. Paul

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

I would say that it sounds a bit steep, as the parts alone at retail for around 1200$-1600$ so depending on the hourly labor charge even at 100$/hr that 14-17hrs which seems excessive for install. Lastly when I purchased my 5th wheel I bargained the hitch and install into my deal so I never had to actually purchase one and pay for install.

[@tipaulfla2]

CollaGoUnLTD thanks so much for your help. Very much appreciated

[@dantolle1344]

I found my 18k pullrite on offer up? It was truly like brand new and I got it for $500 and found a mobile hitch installer and paid him 300 to install it for me! Call your local Ford/ Chevy dealer and they will probably have a mobile guy that does their hitch installations? Hope this helps best of luck! I got the same kind of quotes and I just couldn't justify that kind of money little leg work to me was well worth the $2100 savings?

[@07THE19]

Hey thanks for the video. Just purchased one. Question, when you back up? Does the hitch stick a little?

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

Great! You’ll like it a lot! I’m not sure what you mean by does it stick when backing up?

[@martingomez2611]

@@CollaGoUnLTD I think what he means is does it stick in the normal position while your turning. And if that’s what he’s talking about I’m thinking it has to do with the nut you tighten to keep the hitch in forward position while driving around without the fifth wheel. That way it doesn’t slam around back and forth.

[@kyln3746]

My pullrite hitch slams forward and backwards almost like there's a stop or something missing. Can you help?

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

There is an adjustment bolt and lock nut that you can adjust to prevent the slamming feeling.

[@raydavid2624]

Also, as CollaGoUnLTD advised, you can adjust most of that out, lithium greese on the slides , is also needed every so often.

Does it come with the capture plate?

[@stygertravel]

They don’t. Is an additional price depending on the pin box

[@BB-dg1sc]

I owned mine for 6 years; initially very smooth. Lately when I’m connected there is a loud thud or chunking noise every time at stop & start. Usually when this occurs a quick adjustment to the cam locking assembly fixes this. However no such luck. I called the factory & they sent a new cam locking assembly. Installed & still the same problem. Not really sure what is going on. But yes for the first couple of years w a bit of 10-40 & occasionally tightening everything the hitch was great. Not sure if this unit will hold up in the long run though.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

Did you contact pullrite? I know their customer service is top notch!

[@BB-dg1sc]

Yes I called & they gave a few other suggestions. Have not hooked up since I made the adjustment, but hoping this is a fix. Yes I agree their customer service is exceptional . A few others parts failed during the years & they sent the replacements free. They are a great company, but I don’t know if these sliders were designed to last 10 years w the original parts.

[@jlweck231978]

Sounds like if the new cam locking assembly doesn't fix the problem I would then check the kingpin itself. I would take a micrometer and check what the thickness is now as opposed to new. Wear can happen over time and you will get some play. Good luck.

[@kevina1980]

Is there vertical adjustment on the hitch to make it taller or shorter? Thanks.

[@CollaGoUnLTD]

There is not vertical adjustment, just forward and backward adjustment. However most pin boxes are designed to be higher adjustable.
