Description

Tow with confidence using the Demco 8550038 Autoslide Fifth Wheel Hitch. This brand new automatic sliding fifth wheel hitch is designed specifically for Ford trucks equipped with the factory OEM fifth wheel prep package, delivering exceptional towing performance without requiring manual slider operation.

Rated for 21,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 5,250 pounds maximum pin weight, the Autoslide automatically provides up to 14 inches of travel during turns, helping increase cab-to-trailer clearance in tight maneuvering situations. The innovative rack-and-pinion slide system, wrap-around locking jaw, and 4-way pivoting head provide smooth towing and a secure connection.

Designed for the Ford OEM prep package, the under-bed mounting system leaves your truck bed clean and unobstructed whenever the hitch is removed. Three vertical height adjustments allow proper leveling between truck and trailer while the durable steel construction provides years of dependable towing performance.
