Important Notice

A Capture Plate (sold separately) is required to drive the slide — match it to your trailer using the Quick Connect Capture Plate Fit Chart. The slide a truck needs depends on its bed length, so confirm the 12K fits your exact truck and bed with the fitment finder or your dealer before buying.

About the SuperGlide

Short bed trucks gave you back garage space and a smaller turning radius, but they cost you something behind the cab: room to turn a fifth wheel. Crank the wheel hard and the trailer's nose swings right toward your rear window. The SuperGlide fixes that without asking anything of you. It's a fully automatic sliding fifth wheel hitch, and it works while you drive.

Here's what makes it different. As you turn or back up, a patented cam action moves the trailer away from the cab along the hitch, then slides it back to the towing position over your axle the moment you straighten out. That gives you a full 90 degrees of turning. No levers to throw, no switches, no climbing in and out of the truck before and after every turn the way a manual slider demands. You just get in and drive.

Every SuperGlide is built around PullRite's patented, fully automatic locking jaw — the only self-locking handle on the market, with no secondary lock to reach over the bedside and engage by hand. The hitch head moves side-to-side and front-to-back, so you ride smoother over rough roads and can couple and uncouple on uneven ground without jacking or shimming to get level. When it's time to clear the bed, the head pulls out on a couple of pins and clips. No tools, and a lot less weight to wrestle. A Capture Plate, sold separately, mounts to your trailer's skid plate and is required to drive the slide.

It's also SAE J2638 tested (the recognized fifth wheel strength standard) and accurately weight rated, so the number on the label is the number you can trust. Every one is made in the USA from American steel. Want to pull a gooseneck trailer too? The SuperGlide works with PullRite's #4424 Horse Trailer Adapter to convert a gooseneck coupler to a fifth wheel.

About This Model

The 12K is the SuperGlide built for the tightest setups: the newer "shorter than a short bed" trucks running beds under 6 feet, where the trailer's nose sits closest to the cab and there's the least room to turn. It's rated for trailers up to 12,000 lbs of gross trailer weight (GTW) with 3,000 lbs of pin weight, and it carries the most slide travel in the SuperGlide family to keep that short bed clear through a hard turn.

It mounts to PullRite's Traditional Series rails. If your truck already wears that rail system, the 12K drops right on. The amount of slide a truck needs is tied to its bed length, so run your truck through the fitment finder (or check with your dealer) to confirm the 12K is the right SuperGlide for your bed before you buy. Towing a gooseneck trailer too? The #4424 Horse Trailer Adapter swaps your trailer's coupler so a gooseneck rig hooks to this hitch as a fifth wheel.

When you need the bed back, the head lifts off on a couple of pins and clips and takes about 40 lbs off the job. The slider base it leaves behind is still a two-person lift.
