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

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!

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.

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.

Really shows how the hitch automatically rotated during travel and backing. Goo job.

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

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.

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.

Thanks Shawn. An excellent video for us who are going to be pulling our 5th wheels for the first time. Love the SuperGlide feature.

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.

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!!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Best Video of the hitch in motion. Thanks

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

I’d like to see 90 degree turns

Good video, we have a super glide and have had no issues in the last 6 years. I would by another one.

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!

Great Presentation, you convinced me Thank You

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.

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

Just what I have wanted to know. Thanks.

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.

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

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.

Great video, very educational, thank you for sharing your experience.

Excellent video on the product review.. Good job showing how it maneuvers as well. Thanks for the info and thumbs up!

this is a great and very informative video! thank you!

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

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.

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

HEY GUYS STAY TUNED FOR A NEW REVIEW COMING SHORTLY ON THE NEW PULLRITE SUPER LITE 5TH WHEEL HITCH!!

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.

i agree, great video

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!!

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

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.

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?

Awesome job.

I have a I have a Pull Rite Super Glide 18000 lbs Short bed Hitch model 4400 can that be connected to standard rails.

Do you have problem with chucking I have the same hitch and at stop and go have very small amount of chunking

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

very well done

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

Thanks for this video. Great info.

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?

great video. thank you

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.

How about a little grease on 5th wheel plate pad

Really nice. Thanks

Great video and cool music. Thank you

Thank you!!👊🏼

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

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

How does this work for backing up?

Nice vid, good music.

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 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"

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

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 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?

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...

Nice job guy.

What is the clearance between the top of your trucks bed rails and the bottom of your fifth wheel cap?

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?

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?

Ty, very helpful

How does the hitch stay in the forward tow position when pulling and no lock mechanism is involved?

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

Does it come with the capture plate?

I'm in Colorado also. Who did you have install?

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

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

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 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.

do you get that jerking / pulling when you make turns like a normal slider hitch?

You just need to grease the "s" out of the capture plate and it slides in perfectly every time.

How the hitch holding up?

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?

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?

Are those B&W rails?

How do you lock the hitch because were having a hard time locking ours

how long is the box on your truck

If I have a bed long enough can I run it with no Catch plate

Will this hitch work in a long bed?
