Demco auto slide hitch works very well with my crew cab short bed Ram. Fits under my tonneau cover nicely. Trouble free thus far. Had to purchase a Demco plate for the camper to make the Rhino box hitch work. etrailer personnel were great in helping ensure I had the right products and kept me well informed of shipping dates.

This is an excellent product. It arrived 1 day after ordering it. It had very good instructions that were easy to follow. It only took me 20 minutes to install. It fit tight, but perfectly. It will be the perfect base for the Demco autoslider that I'm going to put on it. I'm using it in my 2018 Ram 2500 Crew cab to pull a Keystone Cougar Half ton fifth wheel.

It works fantastic! Easy to install for towing 5th wheel and then easy to remove to have complete, open bed for hauling.



by:

fast shipping. item got here a day early.
i
was lucky. everything fit in place. installation was very easy.
its mated to a Super Glide 2900 slider hitch sitting in a 2016 Ram 3500 Mega Cab dually.

after 1 year, the hitch adapter is still looking good. no paint chipping, no rust. still pulling strong.



by:

It works as advertised. However, it adds bulk / weight but unfortunately it is required because the autoslider hitch I purchased does not come custom all-in-one for my 2020 Ram 3500 OEM puck system.



by:
2024 Ram 3500

Included instructions are clear and concise. Adapter is heavy, (85lbs) recommend two people to safely lift into truck bed. Need the following tools for installation: 9/16 socket, ratchet, torque wrench and some type of grease or lubrication for the locking studs. My 20k Pullrite Superslide hitch attached easily to the inner slots.

A BIG THANK YOU to Jenny and her crew at etrailer.com. I had originally bought this puck rail adapter from Amazon and I did not take the poor reviews to heart. My mistake. On a time crunch and missing parts later, I realized I should have gone with etrailer earlier. They are a reputable business and they had AWESOME customer service and fast delivery. Jenny kept me updated on the shipment and even sent a follow email once the adapter showed delivered in their system!!!! I learned my lesson and should have done it right the first time and gone with etrailer (and they had it for the same great price). The adapter was super easy to install. Thanks again, Corey (life long customer from now on).

After minor adjustments installation was ok. Instruction were clear. My pullrite superglide fit perfectly. Thanks for this great product and etrailer I am going to have a great camping season.

It's a good quality produce built well. It's heavy but that just gives you confidence when you hit those unions where the bride engineers and the road engineers didn't agree.

Ordered with the Demco 16k Hitch. This unit installed in the factory pucks of my Ram 2500 with little fuss. Very happy with eTrailer and Demco.

This adapter was just what I needed, able to use my hitch out of my old truck and didn’t have to spend a great deal more for another hitch.

Pulled my 30’ fifth wheel 7600 miles this year without any problems. Definitely recommend this product!!!



by:

Fit perfect. Good instructions make it raise to assemble.
ETrailer provides excellent service and advise.



by:

Shipped to a small campground where we installed on a new truck after our old truck died.
Easy to install and adjust



by:

The truck bed rail adapter required moving two of the shims for a proper fit, but this was done fairly quickly. Once the shims were moved, the part fit properly into my truck bed. The next step (adding the Auto Slide 5th Wheel Hitch) into the rail adapter went off without any problems. I would definitely recommend having two people to move the hitch into place, or have an overhead hoist to help to install the hitch. It is heavier than I expected but it fit perfectly into the bed rail adapter.



by:

Hitch installed Easily and took only 15 Min.

Fit was great. Thank you for the great advice on this product.

ilove my5th wheel hitch



by:
2018 Ram 2500

Great product and I'd buy it again. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is due to powder coating inside two of the holes. One I was able to scratch away at with a pick and get the bolt to thread, the other I ended up getting by undoing what I had installed, lifted the thing up, and threaded it in from underneath all the way through to clear it out. I do not have a tap and die set. If you buy this, I'd recommend checking to make sure the bolts go in every hole prior to installing it, to save on time.



by:

The base needed slight adjustments in order for the lever to properly turn and the clips to set properly in the puck system. However, with the slight adjustments, the install was easy and I was able to do it with the help of my father. Just remember to lubricate the puck system so that you can remove the hitch without issues when it’s time to take it out.



by:

This is a well built product. Can't go wrong with this setup. Easy as 1,2,3 no tools required, just a little muscle. Weight 70 lbs.



by:
2017 Ram 2500

Happy with product easy install frame is just like factory rails will recommend to everyone

Very knowledgeable about hitches and got it to me in a couple days and no freight

Its doing good Im looking to up grade my fifth wheel hook up



by:
2024 Ram 3500

The bolts have to be loosened in order to get it to line up. Also it seemed bw tweeked because one side I really had to fight with. Demco should look at the packaging for these.



by:
2018 Dodge Ram Pickup

Looks and fits great in my new ram, easy to install just like the video explains.



by:

Easy install. The only problem I had was the bolt pattern was a little tight to work with around the puck locks.

Thank you

  • Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch vs. Autoslide & Adapter For 2020 Ram 2500 With Puck System
    Hey there Joe, that's an interesting question. The advantage of the Autoslide that fits directly into the puck system of your 2020 Ram 2500 - the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Ram Prep Package # DM69GV - is really just simplicity. You aren't tasked with using and keeping track of an extra piece in your truck bed like you would be with using an adapter. Also - and pretty importantly - it's less expensive than the standard hitch with the adapter for the puck system. As for...

  • Will The B&W Patriot 5TH Wheel Fit On Demco Adapter Rail For a 2024 Ram 2500?
    Yes, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 will attach directly to the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099. Do understand the rail adapter will add 1-3/8" of height to the hitch giving you a height range of 17-3/8" to 20-3/8" from your truck bed mounting points on your 2024 Ram 2500. Do remember to use a Lube Plate # RP83002 on your 5th wheel king pin to help reduce noise and increase the life of your hitch head. The Rail Sound Dampeners # 16900 can also be used to reduce...

  • Which Locking Handles Come on the Demco 5th Wheel Adapter for Ram OEM Prep Package
    The photos that you're seeing in the customer's photo section on the Demco # DM6099 are old photos and the # DM6099 was recently re-designed to now use the flat handles, which is reflected in the new product photos that we've posted. I was able to reach out to my contact over at Demco, who has confirmed this and mentioned that in his experience the wide, flat handles made locking into the pucks a bit easier. I haven't personally tried this out yet, but I do believe that these wider handles...

  • Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch ofr 2019 Ram with OEM Tow/Prep Package
    The # DM6107 Replacement Head and Base Assembly is missing the necessary side plates needed to attach to the # DM6099 OEM puck adapters. The complete hitch is part # DM8550035. You'd also need the # DM6099 or the # DM6194 adapter that will allow the hitch to attach to the in-bed puck system. If you don't already have the 7-way trailer connector in your truck bed, you can install one using part # DM8555002. I've linked you to install/product demonstration videos as well as installation...

This is exactly what this adapter is designed for. It will even give you more height which is most often needed for the newer trucks with taller bedsides.

This will work for your Ram 3500, but you will also need the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6099.

  • Demco Autoslide Fifth Wheel Hitch And Installation Kit For 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Pickup With 6 Ft Bed
    The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider, part # DM8550034 will work great with your 2004 Ram 2500, and will work with the Lippert pin box you have on your trailer. This hitch features an automatic slider that means you do not have to get out of the truck to operate the slider any more. It also features a wrap around single jaw that helps reduce rattle, and with a dual pivoting head you will have less chucking so that you have a smoother ride. The 5th Wheel Rail...

  • Size of Nut to Remove Shims on Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter
    To add/remove a shim on the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099 for your 2022 Ram 3500 you'll need to remove the 3/4" nut on the top as well as the four 3/8" bolts that help to hold the shims in place. If you removed a shim but you think the handle turns a little too easily for your liking then you can add the shim back in place but I wouldn't add than the 2 that it would already have. Keep in mind that the handle will be held in place with a quick release pin so once you have the adapter...

  • Weight of Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch for 2018 Ram 2500 With Factory Prep Package
    The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034 is big and weighs in at approximately 275 lbs. It will fit your 2018 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system but does require the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6099. The adapter is about 90 lbs, putting the total weight to be in the 375 lb range, though the trade-off is that you get one of the best 5th wheel hitches in the industry, not to mention the one that is the most convenient....

    The Demco 13K with a 22-1/2 inch slide # DM8550040 and # DM8550041, will not work for your application. It would cause issues with the tail gate. The confirmed fit for your truck is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - 18,000 lbs # DM8550034 or the 21K # DM8550035. Either will work well with the Rail adapter for Ram 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6099 or the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # RP30154. The weight of the hitch is 273 lbs for the 18K and 305...

  • Can I Use an Offset Ball With Ford Factory Prep and Reese Goose Box
    It is not recommended to use the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter with a short bed truck because of turning clearance. It does not provide any turning clearance like a rotating pin box would, for example the Reese Side Winder. The 5" Offset Ball for Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # 19308 is designed only for the Bulldog, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, and Reese Hide-A-Goose gooseneck trailer hitches only so it will not fit your factory prep package...

  • Does Superglide ISR 2900 Hitch Fit Demco Ram Rail Kit Adapter DM6099
    Yes, since you said ISR (industry standard rail) your PullRite hitch will fit the Demco fifth wheel Ram hitch prep package adapter part # DM6099 that you mentioned. This adapter fits your Ram factory rail kit and provides the rails needed for your Pullrite hitch so it will work great.

  • 5th Wheel Base Rail Adapter for 2018 Ram 3500 with Factory Prep to Install Standard 5th Wheel Hitch
    You can install your B&W Patriot 18K slider hitch # BWRVK3270 in the factory prep kit in your 2018 Ram 3500 by adding either Demco Ram Rail Adapter # DM6099 or Reese Rail Adapter # RP30154, which is shown in the linked photo. Both adapters drop into the factory pucks and give you the equivalent of industry-standard above-bed base rails. Please note the Reese part adds 2-inches to the height of the hitch. The Demco adapter adds 1-3/8-inches of height.

    Yes. You can use the B&W Patriot Slider # BWRVK3270 with either the Reese Rail Adapter # RP30154 or the Demco # DM6099, which utilize your OEM prep package on the 2017 Ram 3500 to give you industry standard base rails to mount a 5th wheel hitch. Both of these rail kits will drop into your factory pucks for easy installation and removal.

    The Andersen Ultimate Connection adapter part # AM3200 has 9 inches of offset built into it and since your short bed 2018 Ram 2500 is a bit longer than most short beds at 6.5 feet (most are 6 foot) this solution would work well. To install this you could use the Demco rail adapter part # DM6099 that you referenced as well and you'd be set.

  • What Height Setting Should the Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 be on a 2017 Ram 2500
    We always recommend having at least 5" - 6" of clearance between the bed rails of your pickup, in this case your 2017 Ram 2500, and the trailer. The trick is that you also want your trailer to tow level. To find out what height your 5th wheel hitch needs to be you first of all need to measure from the ground to the king pin on your pin box. Then you need to measure from the ground to the bed of your Ram. The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099 that you are using adds an additional 1-3/8"...

  • Recommended Auto Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2015 Ram 2500 with Factory Pucks
    I have a solution for you, but the B&W # BWRVK3670 is not an auto-sliding hitch. Instead, you'll want to use the Demco 21K Fifth Wheel Hitch, Custom Install Kit with Below Bed Rails using part numbers # DM8550035 (hitch) and # DM6099 (rail adapter). This is an auto-sliding hitch, so you won't have to get in and out of the truck in order to engage the slider in situations where you'll need to make a tight turn. I've linked some review videos for you to have a look at.
