Frequently Asked Questions

It comes down to your bed length. Short beds need a sliding hitch like the SuperGlide for cab clearance in tight turns; long beds can run a fixed hitch like the Super 5th. The fastest way to know for sure is the hitch finder — enter your year, make, model, and bed length and it shows what fits.

The SuperGlide is our automatic sliding hitch that moves the trailer away from the cab during turns. The Super 5th is a fixed-position hitch built for long beds. The SuperLite is our lightest option, converting your trailer king pin to a ball with a funnel-style hookup and a remote latch.

Short beds need a sliding hitch so the trailer clears the back of your cab when you turn sharp. The SuperGlide slides automatically as you turn, so you never have to get out and pull a pin. Run your truck through the hitch finder to confirm the right amount of slide for your bed.

No. Long beds have enough room between the cab and the trailer, so a fixed hitch like the Super 5th works great and keeps things simple. If you want to be certain, the hitch finder will tell you.

Most sliding hitches make you stop, get out, and manually unpin them before a tight turn. The SuperGlide uses a cam action that slides the trailer away from the cab on its own as you turn, then returns it when you straighten out. It's the only fully automatic slider we build.

No. The SuperLite is light, but it's built from high-grade American steel, not aluminum. You get the weight savings without giving up strength.

There are three. OE puck drops into your truck's factory puck holes with no rails and no drilling. ISR rails (Industry Standard Rails) are a rail base bolted to the frame that any ISR hitch can mount to. Gooseneck ball (Single Point) mounts to a factory or aftermarket gooseneck ball.

Many newer trucks come from the factory with puck holes already in the bed. An OE puck mount drops right into those holes — no rails to bolt in and no drilling. It's the cleanest install if your truck has it.

ISR stands for Industry Standard Rails — a rail base bolted to your truck's frame that any ISR hitch can drop into. Once the rails are in, you can swap or upgrade hitches without changing the base.

A mounting kit creates the rail base for your specific truck so the hitch has something to bolt to. Each kit is matched to a make, model, and frame, so use the hitch finder to pull the right one for your truck.

Our SuperRail kits have Clean Bed Technology. When you're not towing, the rails unpin and twist out, leaving you a flat, usable truck bed. No bolts sticking up and no lost cargo space.

Yes. Our gooseneck adapter (#4424 or #4443) swaps onto the trailer's gooseneck coupler so you can pull it with your fifth-wheel hitch. One truck handles both trailer types.

A Capture Plate is a required part of every SuperGlide system. It bolts to your trailer's skid plate around the king pin and isolates the pin's rotation, which is what lets the SuperGlide's automatic cam action slide. No capture plate, no automatic slide.

Each plate is matched to a specific king pin or pin box — Lippert, Demco, MOR/ryde, Trailair, 5th Airborne, and others. Measure your pin box or run it through the capture-plate finder to get an exact match.

No. The capture plate is only for the SuperGlide, because it's what makes the automatic slide work. Fixed hitches like the Super 5th and the SuperLite don't use one.

It bolts to the skid plate on your trailer, wrapping around the king pin. Once it's on, it lets the king pin rotate independently so the SuperGlide can do its job through a turn.

Many of our hitches and kits come with detailed instructions, and OE puck systems are especially straightforward. If you'd rather have it done for you, an authorized dealer can sell and install it. Every owner's manual is at our installation guides page.

All of our owner's manuals and install guides live at installation guides. We also have step-by-step videos if you'd rather watch than read.

It depends on the mount. An OE puck system uses your truck's factory holes, so there's no drilling. Frame-mounted rail kits vary by truck, so check your specific installation guide or ask an authorized dealer.

Weight varies by model. The SuperLite is our lightest hitch by a wide margin, which makes it easier to handle on your own. Check the product page for your specific model's specs.

The Rota-Flex is a pivoting pin box with a rubber block inside. When you pair one with a SuperLite, that block can shift, so we sell an isolator: #4447 prevents the shift, and #4446 corrects it if it's already happened.

On a short bed, a fixed hitch keeps the trailer too close to the cab, so the front cap can hit it on sharp turns. A sliding hitch like the SuperGlide moves the trailer back as you turn to keep clearance. The hitch finder will confirm the right slide for your bed length.

Yes. Every PullRite hitch is SAE J2638 tested, which is the industry strength standard for fifth-wheel hitches. We've been building them in America since 1974.

You can tow with one, but a long bed already has the room a fixed hitch needs, so the slide isn't doing much for you. Most long-bed owners are better served by the Super 5th. Check the hitch finder for the best match.

We sell and install through authorized dealers rather than direct retail. Use the dealer locator to find one near you who can match the right hitch to your truck and put it on.

Yes. PullRite has been American-made since 1974, including the high-grade American steel in our SuperLite. Every hitch is also SAE J2638 tested.

Your PullRite hitch is covered by our limited warranty. Register it at warranty registration so we have your info on file if you ever need support.

Start with the hitch finder to narrow down what fits your truck, and watch our videos for hands-on walkthroughs. For anything else, an authorized dealer can answer questions and help you order.
