I removed and sold my Pullrite Superglide and replaced it with a 5th Airborne Sidewinder pinbox along with a Demco Recon hitch.

The Pullrite worked like it was supposed to and I had no problems with the hitch. I was however unable to put my generator in the truck bed because the pinbox is located about two inches inside the bed and when I turned tight the pinbox would hit the generator. Also the back end of the pinbox would hit and damage the rails of the bed when turning tight.

The pullrite also was a filthy WD-40 mess. There was a fair amount of back and forth movement between the slider plate and the rails it ran on.

The Sidewinder is perfect. Tows great without any problems. The Demco hitch is light weight at only 100# and it quickly comes apart into three pieces when removing from the truck bed. It also gives me a lot of room in the bed now as it takes up much less space than the pullrite.

Since the pullrite required me to hitch straight on I had no problem with doing the same with the Sidewinder. I can also jackknife the trailer into a spot and disconnect/connect at that same angle, something I could not do with the pullrite.

The Demco hitch is adjustable in height which I needed as I run it in the lowest position to allow my rig to be level. The Demco is much more robust than most hitches in the wrap around jaw for the kingpin and also the lock bar on the jaw. It is rated at 21K so I'm no where near its limit with my rig weight wise.
