PullRite SuperGlide 2700 16k 18K 5th Wheel Hitch Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2016
- 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.

![Andersen Ultimate Fifth-Wheel Hitch Install and Review // Why did we choose this hitch? [EP 30]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/UT2Y5gnYqRo/mqdefault.jpg)
I have the 15K. Purchased it 4 yrs ago. Never had a problem. I tow a 32' Chaparral 5th wheel with a Ram 2500 HD 6'6" box. Hitch is always smooth as silk with a little WD40 and some Minot TLC every now and then.
Thanks for that! It's amazing how few vids there are on this hitch. Best one yet!
Richard Stubbs Thanks for the comment. Im glad you liked it and I hope it helped you out! Please let me know if you have any questions!

Shawn, you did a great job explaining how the hitch works and the presentation, the video taping and sound was excellent! Very professional! I truly appreciate videos like your's! Thank you so much, Richard
Richard Harrigan thank you for the kind words! I'm glad it was able to help you out! This was one of my first review videos so hopefully my quality will continue to improve! Stay tuned as SuperGlide sent me a set of Super Rails that I will be installing soon and doing another review on them!
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.
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.
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.
Thank you!! This is on of the best reviews I found, the video of the hitch in action is what I really needed to see!! Thanks!!!
Thanks Shawn. An excellent video for us who are going to be pulling our 5th wheels for the first time. Love the SuperGlide feature.
Really shows how the hitch automatically rotated during travel and backing. Goo job.
Excellent video. I just purchased a new fifth wheel and had the Superglide hitch installed in my 2011 Ford F350 crew cab short bed. I can't wait to get it out in the spring! Thanks for posting.
Gary, you will love this hitch, I'm itching to get back out on the road as soon as it starts warming back up as well!
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.
Best Video of the hitch in motion. Thanks
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!
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!
The owners manual says you have to be within 16 degrees of straight.
That's what I do, works every time, take the load off the jaws.
Shawn, if you haven't sent this video to Pullrite, you absolutely should. Been using my Pullrite since something like 2008, and this is the first time I've really seen whats going on. By the by IMO, Pullrite is the hitch for short bed P/U's. And their customer service is pretty hard to beat as well.
+Nicholas Wells I have not but maybe I will send it to them!
Hey Shawn. Great unbiased product review! I would like to speak with you if possible. Please e-mail me at nickm@pullrite.com.
So what does the hitch do when you have to make a sharp turn in reverse?
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.
HEY GUYS STAY TUNED FOR A NEW REVIEW COMING SHORTLY ON THE NEW PULLRITE SUPER LITE 5TH WHEEL HITCH!!
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.
I've been thinking about the same setup. Let us know, please
Works great Richard. No issues as all. We love the setup.
how did it go?
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.
That makes sense. I would love to see a video on that.
That is exactly correct, I rarely have the room to back straight in.
Great Video, I would like to see you make tighter turns to show the full function with the full slide mechanism. Thanks.
Ben Reed I will plan to make a follow up video to this showing tighter turns as soon as I get my camper out of winter storage! Thanks for the input!
Would like to have seen how hitch handled a 90 degree back/forward turn.
They handle 90deg fine
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.
Good video, we have a super glide and have had no issues in the last 6 years.
I would by another one.
Good video...thanks for taking the time... not as complicated as I thought it would be.
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.
Thanks allot bro, great video. Especially the demonstration on how it moves when your driving.
Excellent video on the product review.. Good job showing how it maneuvers as well. Thanks for the info and thumbs up!
+RV Adventurer thanks for the feedback! And you're welcome! Glad you found it informative!
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?
+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.
Great Presentation, you convinced me Thank You
+Bob Piaro glad I could help out Bob! Happy Travels!
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!
Curts are GREAT and the guys on the phone are really cool and professional, but Camping World is an absolute failing business.
I’d like to see 90 degree turns
Great video, very educational, thank you for sharing your experience.
Nice. Had mine since Nov 20.. just co.epleted first full week RV and it bent! Had to disconnect by pulling the two crevice pins out. Don't have a pic right now
what bent? why? what's the situation now?
Just what I have wanted to know. Thanks.
this is a great and very informative video! thank you!
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. FYI.
+Mike Rustay thank you for the input!
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.
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.
It works fine, just compensate for the trailer moving back and forth a bit, no big deal.
Do you have problem with chucking
I have the same hitch and at stop and go have very small amount of chunking
i agree, great video
Really need to attach break away cable to the truck,not the hitch.if the hitch fails it wont activate brakes.maybe a carabeaner hook to the mount plate attached to the truck bed.i have had my superglide for about 9 years,no problems and still smooth and works as it did new.i tow a 37'2" quad slide home at 16k
the one thing that i am confused with on this hitch is how does it slide forward when moving forward and back when moving back? It is not motorized and I would think it would work the opposite way where when you drive forward it would slide back (which would be bad lol). what am i missing here
The capture plate is what makes the whole system work!
CollaGoUnLTD guess im just trying to understand how though. Is there teeth in there or sometiing
@@kingjames1308 the capture plate has a square metal form on it that makes the hitch shift angles, once you hit 15+ degrees the entire thing moves. Only gear teeth are for the realease.
Anthony Rettig ok that makes sense. Thanks for the explonation
@@kingjames1308 he shows that "block" he calls it in the video. and earlier in the video when he manually turns the hitch, that's what it does, it's locked in, doesn't really spin on the plate like in normal situations. it spins on the rails.
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
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.
Any advice on why our hitch isn't clamping? We had an issue while we camping. The hitch wouldn't clamp shut. Kept fiddling with it and it finally locked but what would make that happen?
Agreed....just got one and having a similar issue.
Lubrication, lubrication, lubrication.
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.
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!
Great video, helped a lot. Especially the fact about having to line up straight with catch plate. I recently purchased a 5th wheel and trying to figure out which hitch. I have a goose neck in my truck so I'm trying to find out an adapter to go from my goose neck to 5th wheel? Looking at a curtis plate that goes directly into the reversable B+W ball hitch? Thanks
I have a I have a Pull Rite Super Glide 18000 lbs Short bed Hitch model 4400 can that be connected to standard rails.
More than likely yes, but check the bottom of it and as long as it has the tabs that would fit in the ISR systems then you’ll be good to go.
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.
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.
How long is your bed on your tundra that you're using this on?
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.
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.
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.
DO you still have the hitch for sale?
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.
Enjoyed the excellent video and outstanding music! I had heard that with this hitch a person cannot use a padlock to lock the handle in place to prevent someone from tampering with it and unlocking. Is there a hole to place a padlock?
I have to pull my 5th wheel through some unlevel terrain to get it on and off my farm, and just got this hitch and 5th wheel. I'm nervous on what would/could happen and how much angle I safely have as I'm towing "off road"
How does the hitch stay in the forward tow position when pulling and no lock mechanism is involved?
how long is the box i put mine like a foot back from the centre from the wheel well lotta room ya dont need 1500 dollar hitch nd put air bags my box is 5.5 feet its all good no problems
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?
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.
Can I get the part number for the capture plate please ?
Awesome job.
Thanks for this video. Great info.
How does this work for backing up?
What is the clearance between the top of your trucks bed rails and the bottom of your fifth wheel cap?
+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 bought a used 18k and installed in my truck but I don't have the capture plate? I have moved our 5th wheel around the property with no issue but we are getting ready to hit the road I probably need that plate huh?
Dan, yes you definitely need the capture plate as the hitch will not slide during turns without it.
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
@@motarded4214 I paid about $1,800 for mine through blue dog RV. But not anywhere close to $2,800.
Thank you!!👊🏼
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?
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.
Newbe to 5th wheel towing. But it wasn't clear, do you have to leave the tail gate down for clearance?
No you can have your tailgate up!
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.
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!!
Chains are not required when you use a fifth wheel hitch. Only goose neck.
Kenny James thank you for the feedback! and as stated above chains are not required for a 5th wheel hitch! Happy camping!
Are you still able to have a trunk bed cover that closes with the hitch in there when it’s not in use or would you have to remove the whole thing to use a trunk cover?
Vitelle yes you sure can!
CollaGoUnLTD Thank you so much for your prompt response! I just ordered mine! Can’t wait & so relieved I’ll still be able to use the cover with it! Was worried it’d be too tall! 😁
very well done
+DicksTaxidermy thank you!!
Great video and cool music. Thank you
Really nice. Thanks
I unhitched this hitch today at about a 25-30 degree angle. Is that bad? Or, is this only a problem while hitching?
MrJeremypkpl It mainly has to do with hooking up.
Is there vertical adjustment on the hitch to make it taller or shorter? Thanks.
There is not vertical adjustment, just forward and backward adjustment. However most pin boxes are designed to be higher adjustable.
great video. thank you
Nice vid, good music.
Thanks for the clip. Have a 2017 L5P Duramax 2500HD 4x4 High Country CCSB and am contemplating buying a Carbon 357 Toyhauler. Was worried a bit about the short box and the 2500 pulling it. Also I have a slight lift on my truck (3") but ordered it from the factory with 5th wheel prep so I think I should be good to go. What size Carbon is that? How does it ride hauling? Thanks for your help. Much appreciated!
+Ben Giovanelli ooo I would love to have an L5P! My 2016 Carbon is a 327 I think it has been replaced by the 347 in the 2017 line. It tows great with my SRW 2500hd. 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!
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!
Other than being lined up to hook or drop is backing around a corner work ok or does it not slide back?
I'm wondering the same thing about backing up
does it slide back if you making a 90 degree turn in reverse?
+Esiquio Cervantes yes it sure does!
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?
+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.
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
Please contact PullRite Customer service at 1-800-443-2307
I have this hitch as well and I love it, do you have any idea what kind of maintenance and or adjustments are required? Mine seems to have a lot of play in it ... side-to-side movement when not hooked to the trailer, I'm wondering if this should be tightened up or adjusted.
Rob Rice id look up what the manufacture recommends but I have not had to do any major adjustments on mine, I just use a bit of wd40 to keep the rails and low friction discs that the head rides on smooth. I'd imagine you will start getting more play from wear on the low friction disks which would ultimately cause them to need replacing, but I don't see that needing to be done for several years.
ShawnCollazo I called Superglide and they were so helpful. The side to side movement I noticed is fine, the biggest things to pay attention to is the silver bolt that points to the cab right under the catch plate. This needs a small adjustment from time to time. And they also said to just spray some wd40 on it each day you tow. Great video, thank you for taking the time to post it!
Ty, very helpful
do you get that jerking / pulling when you make turns like a normal slider hitch?
I’ve never experienced any jerking or pulling with this hitch.
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.
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.
Great job, very informative, I just bought a used pullrite super glide 2700.
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.
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.
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.
I have the same hitch. Use a padlock. Holds it in place and adds a little security.
I just recently bought my first 5th wheel. The dealer is installing it into my truck next week. I was quoted a price of $2900 for the whole job, hitch, rails, installing the 7 pin plug into back of bed of truck. Being a newbie in this, is this a fair price. I live in Florida and will not name the dealer. Thanks in advance.
Paul
I would say that it sounds a bit steep, as the parts alone at retail for around 1200$-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.
CollaGoUnLTD thanks so much for your help. Very much appreciated
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?
Hey thanks for the video. Just purchased one. Question, when you back up? Does the hitch stick a little?
Great! You’ll like it a lot! I’m not sure what you mean by does it stick when backing up?
@@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.
The hitch is great but I have two problems and you mentioned one of them, the truck has to be perfectly aligned and in some of the state parks in Colorado they have short pull thru site and to get unhitched is a problem. There is a sliver color lever that the fifth wheel pin must contact for the hitch to lock in place, and mine sticks in the open position and the hitch won't latch. any suggestions on how fix this problem.
I rarely have the room to back straight in, you do have to align the mating parts to be parallel to each other (rotate the hitch), but not parallel to the truck.
Nice job guy.
My pullrite hitch slams forward and backwards almost like there's a stop or something missing. Can you help?
There is an adjustment bolt and lock nut that you can adjust to prevent the slamming feeling.
Also, as CollaGoUnLTD advised, you can adjust most of that out, lithium greese on the slides , is also needed every so often.
I’m having a hard time disconnecting the trailer from the hitch. I’m a new 5th wheel owner and I have the Pulrite auto slider you mentioned. Can you give me some pointers. I raise it up enough where you. Can see the hitch loosen but can disengage the hitch
But can’t disengage it
Hey John, a couple tips I found useful for dis engaging the hitch are:
1. Make sure you are pretty much straight in line with your trailer, any decent angle will cause potential binding issues.
2. Chock the trailer tires and then back the truck up just enough to push the 5th wheel pin off the jaws of the hitch. Basically if you put it in reverse and just slowly release the brakes a little until you feel the truck move just barely backward then put it back in park, that’s usually enough
3. Raise the hitch up just enough to where you see a gap between the capture plate and the top of the hitch.
4. Pull the release lever and it should easily open up the hitch jaws and you can pull the truck away!
Hope this helps! If you have Facebook you should join the “Pullrite 5th wheel hitch owners” page! There’s lots of good insight on it!
@@CollaGoUnLTD release. It on the nose with just need to reverse a bit more.
Get weight off the hitch then pull the pins that lock the head of the hitch to the base. Then raise the front of the trailer with the hitch attached just enough to clear. Drive the truck forward then remove hitch head and reinstall on base. Don't forget the pins.
I purchased this product after watching your video. Great job if made me feel more confortable with it. How sharp can you turn i am about 70 degrees and have about an inch to spare on the side of my bed. Little to scared to push it...
+Tim Garrison Great! Glad it helped you to make a wise purchase! I have not tested the limits of turning with my 5th Wheel but I know I can turn pretty sharp probably around the same as you.
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?
Yes this will work with both short and long beds to give you better pivoting when making tighter radius turns.
Thank yo.
I don't see any turns in the video where a sliding hitch was needed. You have the curved cap so do you really need a slider? The hitch looks high. Does your trailer tow hitch high?
+Done The Hard Way the video was done to show how the hitch operates with sliding forward and backward. With driving around the block, no it would not necessarily be needed but when actually driving to some of the places we camp there may be several hairpin turns etc that for piece of mind I'd rather be safe than sorry even with a curved front cap. The hitch is not high when connected to my tow vehicle it actually sits very level when pulling my 5th wheel.
Eu gostaria que vocês entrasse em contato gostaria de querer esses produtos para mim colocar na minha
Does it come with the capture plate?
They don’t. Is an additional price depending on the pin box
I'm in Colorado also. Who did you have install?
I installed it myself
How about a little grease on 5th wheel plate pad
I dont use any grease on the actual plate pad, I do lightly clean it with soap and water and wipe it down with WD-40 occasionally. but since the actual pin box does not rotate on the 5th wheel plate there is really no need for lubrication.
How do you lock the hitch because were having a hard time locking ours
+calacho Martinez what part of the hitch are you trying to lock?
Are those B&W rails?
You just need to grease the "s" out of the capture plate and it slides in perfectly every time.
How the hitch holding up?
I actually sold that hitch to change to a lighter system (Pullrite SuperLite) however, that hitch is still going strong with the person I sold it to!
Will this hitch work in a long bed?
Yes it will although it wouldn’t really be necessary with a LB.
If I have a bed long enough can I run it with no Catch plate
Why buy a superglide if you have a 8 foot box! Don’t need it. Capture plate is required with this hitch…….
Coming up on a year and a half later, do you still love it?
Thanks for the question, to answer I will first say I have since been given the Pullrite Superlite to try out (review to come soon) so I do not have the superglide anymore. But the switch was not because I didn’t love it!! Truth be told I would have liked to use it but for my application (I have to remove my hitch to load my Polaris RZR in my truck when dry camping to make it to the trail head) made it a bear since it was so heavy and I couldn’t expect my 105lb wife to lift half of it every time. So yes I still love it if I didn’t own a toyhauler I would absolutely still have it in my short bed no questions asked!!
@@CollaGoUnLTDdo you have a review update on the SuperLite? If you don't have a video planned, what are a few of your thoughts?
