Now what the locking plate is gonna do is it's gonna prevent your kingpin from pivoting inside your Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch. Now, this does work with your standard length 5th Wheel Airborne Pin Boxes, and it's a very simple bolt-on installation with the included hardware.

It's got your mounting holes and everything. This is the backside. And it's got the wedge up here, and all your main hardware. It is nice, heavy duty steel. Very durable.

It's a carbide black powder coat finish. It is made here in the USA with a very nice five year limited warranty. Now as far as some dimensions, I'll go ahead and throw an image up on the screen and make it a little bit easier. Starting with that left image, we got 14 and five eighths of an inch overall long, and 11 and five 16ths wide. The height of the wedge shoulder there, as I'm calling it, is seven eighths of an inch.

Three inch side to side at the skinny part, and four and seven 16ths at the widest part. Moving to the right image, 11 inches inside to inside. And tall, or length, 14 and a half inside to inside. And five inches on center on those mounting bolt holes. Well folks, that's gonna wrap it up for this Demco Autoslide Locking Plate.

  • Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitches Compatible With Ram Factory Prep/Puck System For 5TH Wheel Hitches
    Yes, Demco does have the 21K Autoslide # DM89GV as well as an 18K Autoslide # DM69GV that will fit the factory prep/puck system in a Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup.

  • Is Demco Hijacker Autoslide Compatible with Reese Airborne 5th Pin Box on Grand Design
    Thanks for reaching out, Chuck! The 18K Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034 will work great with your Reese 5th Airborne pin box - you just need to lockout the rotating turret (if it has that feature) and then use either the Locking Plate # DM6026 if it's an older pin box, or the Locking Plate # DM77GV if the pin box is from 2020 or after. If you don't already have bed rails installed on your truck then I also recommend picking up the Curt # C16411-204 which...

  • Air Ride Coupler for Use with Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
    Adding a capture plate would not allow you to use the Trailair pin box with your Demco Hijacker 5th wheel trailer hitch. If you have a Lippert 1116 pin box then you could use the 5th Airborne # 5AB-S500-700 which is also an air ride pin box with locking plate # DM6026.

  • Best Sliding 5TH Wheel Hitch For a 2022 Ford F-350 6-3/4' Short Bed
    The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550038 is the best sliding 5th wheel hitch that will fit into your factory prep/puck system on your 2022 Ford F-350. As an auto-sliding hitch you will no longer need to get out and unlock your hitch to move it from maneuvering to towing positions when you need to make tight turns. The hitch will move itself back up to 14" when you turn to ensure you do not damage your truck and 5th wheel trailer. There are some non standard pin boxes that...

  • Recommended Demco Hijacker Locking Plate for 5th Airborne Pin Boxes
    The 5th Airborne Premium Fifth Wheel Air Ride Coupler - 21,000 lbs Capacity # 5AB-E1621-610 is a replacement pin box for the Lippert 1621, 1621HD, Fabex 665, and M&M 665. All of these pin boxes are grouped as "extended" pin boxes because they have an angled pin box reaching toward the vehicle. Conventional pin boxes have little or no angle. Extended does not mean they always extend past the 5th wheel trailer but rather they have a king pin that extends out from the mounting brackets. I...

  • Determining Correct Locking Plate for Demco Hijacker with Reese 5th Airborne Pin Box
    As you mentioned in your question, there are two available Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plates for the 5th Airborne Pin Boxes. The plate you choose will depend on the type of 5th Airborne Pin Box that you have on the trailer. If your trailer has a standard 5th Airborne Pin Box, you will use the Locking Plate # DM6026. If you have an extended-length 5th Airborne, you will instead use the Locking Plate # DM6062.

  • Best Sliding 5TH Wheel Trailer Hitch For a 2022 Ford F-250/F350 With Factory Prep/Puck Package
    I recommend the Demco Hijacker as being the best 5th wheel hitch for your 2022 Ford F-250. This hitch is available in 2 weight ratings based on the 5th wheel you will be hauling. 18,000LB Demco Hijacker # DM8550024 21,000LB Demco Hijacker # DM8550038 Both of these are auto-sliding hitches so you can stay in your truck instead of having to deal with unlocking and locking in receiver that is needed with a manual slider. They will drop into your factory prep/puck holes in your bed for a...

  • Recommended Locking Plates For Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel To Use With 5th Airborne Pin Box
    You will need locking plates for your 5th Airborne to be able to use it with a Demco Autoslide like part # DM8550034. If you have a standard-length 5th Airborne kingpin you will need part # DM6026, and if you have an extended-length 5th Airborne kingpin you will need part # DM6062.

  • Is Small Gap At Front of Demco Locking Plate Okay
    Hey Chuck, thanks for reaching out again! The Locking Plate # DM77GV is only for 2020 and newer 5th Airborne pin boxes. If yours is older than that, the Locking Plate # DM6026 is the correct fit. As long as the king pin hole and bolt holes are lining up and you're able to torque everything down correctly, a small gap as the front is okay.

  • Troubleshooting Demco Hijacker AutoSlide Hitch That Will Not Lock with Capture Plate DM6026
    Thank you for your purchase of Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate for Standard 5th Airborne Pin Boxes, part # DM6026. The issue you describe sounds like it could be related to the jaws on your Demco Hijacker, if it is an older unit with E or F labeled on the passenger-side jaw. Some of these jaws were not machined quite enough which caused them to hang up on the king pin. Demco is great about standing behind their products so in all likelihood you can contact them with your hitch...

  • Compatibility of Demco AutoSlide 5th Wheel Hitch with Valley Above-Bed Base Rails
    For a Demco 18K Hijacker Autoslide hitch that fits into your Valley industry-standard base rails you'll use part # DM8550034 which is shown in the linked video. You will need a locking plate; use part # DM6026 if you have a standard 5th Airborne pin box; use part # DM6062 if you have an extended type pin box. If you need a wiring harness you can use part # DM8555002 which plugs right in to your existing bumper-mounted 7-way.

  • Best Auto Slide 5TH Wheel Hitch For a 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty With Factory Hitch Prep/Puck System
    I recommend using the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550038 for your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the factory prep/puck system and the short bed. This autosliding hitch will work with no adapters required on most campers that use a standard 12" to 14" wide pin box. For some cushioned pin boxes you will need the corresponding adapter plate for that pin box. Here is a list of the most common pin boxes that require an adapter.

  • Is a Locking Plate Needed for a Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
    The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider part # DM8550034 works with most standard pin boxes for the exception of Sidewinder or Revolution's. However, if you have one of the following pin boxes: Glide Ride, Mor Ryde, Trailair Tri Glide, Trailair Flexair, Rota Flex, and 5th Airborne then you will need a locking plate to prevent the kingpin from rotating inside your hitch. I have attached the correct locking plates for the above pin boxes for you below. MOR/ryde Pin...

  • Recommended Air Bag Pin Box for Use with a Demco Hijacker Autoslide on a 2018 Ford F-350
    I highly recommend going with a 5th Airborne pin box over the MorRyde mainly because other customers have said that they like the way the 5th Airborne rides over the MorRyde. The 5th Airborne is a premium pin box that greatly increases the ride quality of your trailer by using the shock and air spring for a smoother ride. This is compatible with your Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550024 when used with the Locking Plate # DM6026. The 5th Airborne pin boxes are pin box specific...

    I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550024 for your 2022 Ford F-250. This hitch will drop into the factory prep/puck system and the auto sliding 5th wheel hitch will keep you from having to get out of your truck to reposition the hitch for maneuvering. The hitch is rated for up to 18,000lbs trailer capacity and 4,500lbs of maximum tongue weight. This hitch will fit most pin boxes that are 12" - 14" wide but you may need a separate locking plate if you have a specialty...

    The Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate for Extended 5th Airborne Pin Boxes # DM6062 measures 12.51 inches wide and 20.01 inches long according to my tech contact at Demco including the bend in the front and the sides so that is the outermost parts.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2012 Ram Mega Cab with Reese Elite/Ford Puck Pattern
    Reese made the aftermarket puck system you are referring to and also created the puck system for Ford. The system you reference is called the Reese Elite Underbed # RP30074 and will be compatible with the Ford Prep Package hitches. For the best towing experience, I recommend using the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Ford Super Duty Prep Package - 18K # DM8550024. This will fit in the pucks and also give you the automatic sliding to provide proper turning clearance...

  • Best Sliding 5TH Wheel Hitch For a 2022 Ram 2500 6-1/2' Bed With Factory Hitch Prep/Puck Package

You will need a Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099 that will drop into your factory hitch prep/puck system to attach the Hijacker hitch. The auto slide hitch means you get to stay in the cab when you need to make the tight turns rather than having to get out and reposition the hitch for maneuvering a tight turning area just to have to reposition it again....

  • New 5th Wheel Slider Hitch and Replacement Pin Box for a 1997 Ford F-250 and Keystone Raptor
    A Sidewinder pin box would be ideal but there isn't an air ride Sidewinder that is rated high enough for the gross trailer weight of your trailer. You do not want the pin box to have a lower capacity than what the trailer is rated for. What you can do is use a different hitch with an air ride pin box instead of a Sidewinder. If the hitch you have now fits in industry standard above the bed rails (see picture) you can use the Demco HiJacker # DM8550034 which offers 14 inches of travel. Then...
