Looking For 5th whl slider hitch.

[Jeff H]

Anybody know where I can get a fifthwheel slider hitch? Gotta handle 18,000 lbs also.

reese/drawtite makes a slider hitch that is manual. I already had the head unit and added the sliding mechanism for $420. If I had bought a new head unit and the slider as one complete setup, it would have been around $900. It has 12 inches of travel and is rated 18k.

Pullrite Superglide is the best there is. Priced that way too, unfortunately.



I'm not one of the weight police, but what kind of short bed pickup can handle an 18,000 lb trailer?
