Base secures in underbed mounts and removes for full bed access. Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Ram Prep Package - 18K Features: 5th-Wheel hitch mounts in your short-bed truck bed so you can tow your 5th-wheel trailer Automatic slider provides clearance required for your short-bed pickup to turn safely at slow speeds No more getting into and out of the truck to operate a manual slider Head slides toward the tailgate when you turn and back toward the cab when you straighten out Rack-and-pinion gears create smooth, controlled, automatic motion Rotating hitch head turns up to 90 degrees with your trailer Rotation creates the force that propels the automatic slider Built-in brackets stabilize your pin box so the king pin won't rotate in the hitch - no need for a separate capture plate for standard pin boxes Rail-free design allows for full access to truck bed when hitch is removed Wraparound, single-piece jaw provides a secure connection 360-Degree jaw-to-king-pin contact Less rattle and more security than slide-bar jaws 3/4" Thick, solid steel locking bar reinforces the connection of your coupled trailer Automatically locks into place when the jaw closes Double-pivot hitch head eases hookup and helps to limit chucking Pivots front to back and side to side 3 Height settings to fit your application Cushioning polyurethane dampeners help reduce noise and absorb road shock Spring-loaded handle with comfort grip allows for simple coupling Tethered safety pin lets you secure the handle in the open or the closed position Sturdy steel construction with rust-resistant black powder coat finish Fast, easy installation Drops into the 4 receiver pucks that are built into your factory underbed rails Made in the USA Specs: Application: 2013 and newer Ram trucks with factory-installed towing prep package Designed for use on 6-1/2' truck beds Fits standard pin boxes 12" - 14" wide Locking plates (sold separately) are required for use with Glide Ride, Mor Ryde, Trailair Tri Glide, Trailair Flexair, Rota Flex, and 5th Airborne pin boxes Gross towing weight: 18,000 lbs Vertical load limit: 4,500 lbs Travel: 14" front to back Hitch height settings: 16-7/8", 18-3/8", and 19-3/8" 5-Year limited warranty Note: This fifth-wheel trailer hitch is not compatible with Sidewinder or Revolution king pins. Do not use any device that changes the pivot point of your trailer's king pin with this hitch. Automatic Slider Makes Cornering Easy Most often used on trucks with 6-1/2' beds, a slider helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a slider to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning. Normally, you'd have to get out of your truck and pull a lever to release the slider before every turn, but what if there was an automatic system? Imagine having 14" of extra clearance while towing your fifth-wheel trailer. Now imagine having this without needing get out of the truck to move your slider. The Demco Autoslide makes this fantasy a reality. The Autoslide automatically glides back smoothly when you make a sharp turn so you can maneuver effortlessly around tight corners within campsites and parking lots. The base of the Autoslide has a built-in rack-and-pinion gear system that operates automatically. As your truck turns, the pinion in the base also turns. This activates the rack gear, which causes the rotational force of the truck to be converted into the linear sliding action of the hitch. So, when your truck makes a sharp, slow-speed turn, the gears inside the Autoslide force the hitch head to slide down toward your truck's tailgate in a smooth, controlled motion. This way, any time that your truck turns more than 10 to 15 degrees, the Autoslide will ensure that there is enough clearance for your trailer to complete the turn as well, and it will do so without any jerking or binding. In order for the rack-and-pinion assembly to function as designed, the pin box must be stabilized on the hitch head. Normally in a fifth-wheel hitch, the king pin moves inside of the hitch head so that the trailer can turn. With the Autoslide, the king pin remains fixed inside of the jaws of the hitch and it is the hitch head itself that turns. This is thanks to the capture brackets on the sides of the head that brace the pin box from both sides to hold it in place on top of the hitch head. This is done to ensure that there is enough resistance within the hitch when your
