This short video examines the problem that short bed truck owners face when towing a 5th wheel trailer. It helps demonstate the fact that there is a clearance issue while turning - and the drawbacks of the manual slider hitch as a less the optimim solution.

  • Do you realize how much of a pain in the ass that is? Plust waht are you gunna do? Manually slide it back by releasing the hitch and dropping the trailer? Or do you want me to push the trailer?

  • I have owned a Superglide for over 6 years. With my shortbed 2500HD GMC it is the only way to go. In the past 6 years I have never been concerned about pulling any lever in order to back ito or out of a campsite. Nor am I ever concerned about having to make a tight U-turn.

    If you never had one than you have no right to make a negative comment.

  • Thats why we bought the PullRite SuperGlide 5th Hitch. Its self extending even in the rain.

  • This has been verified by 3 dealers I visited.
