Single point (underbed gooseneck) hitches are popular because they are light and quick to remove. But when PullRite looked at the ones already on the market, we found a problem nobody was talking about: many of them flex and wear through a truck bed over time. The #2600 SuperLite fixes that. It carries 20,000 lbs of gross trailer weight (GTW) and installs without drilling.
Steel, not aluminum
The #2600 is built from high-grade American steel. Aluminum has to be made thicker and heavier to match steel's strength, and the heat of welding softens it right where it matters. Steel keeps its full strength after welding. The result is a 20K rating where comparable aluminum hitches test to just 8,300 lbs, about 58% weaker.
Bed Saver Rails
A single point hitch rocks on its one ball as you speed up and slow down. Welded base rails ride one edge up and drive the other edge down into the bed, the can-opener effect. Our Bed Saver Rails are not welded to the hitch. They lie flat across the bed channels like a spatula instead of a knife, spreading the load and staying put while the hitch moves. A rubberized bed-liner coating insulates steel from aluminum to stop galvanic corrosion and grips the bed to cut paint wear and side-to-side rotation.
Support brackets for GM trucks
Single point systems carry their load down into the bed's cross sills. On Ford and Ram trucks those sills sit right under the Bed Saver Rails. GM spaces them unevenly and too far from the hitch, so GM trucks need the no-drill #2616 Bed Channel Support Bracket Kit (sold separately) to hold the full 20K rating.
A locking cam-action ball
The #2600 works with any 2-5/16" gooseneck ball, but PullRite's cam-action ball is the only one that locks from inside the housing, not from an exposed mechanism on top that collects dirt and rusts. One turn locks it. Swap the pin and clip for a padlock when you travel.
A bigger draw-down bolt, and no re-torquing
We make our own hitch pins and hardware from higher-grade material. The #2600 uses the largest draw-down bolt of any single point hitch, so it torques to 60 ft-lbs where competitors stop at 50. And because the base sits over the axle with its rails parallel to the cross sills, the bed does not flex under load, so you do not have to re-torque the bolt before every trip the way most single point hitches require.
Every PullRite hitch is built in the USA and tested to SAE J2638. See the #2600 specs and fitment.
