Use your truck bed for more than just towing your fifth wheel and need to be able to take the hitch out easily
Get peace of mind from the reinforced, wraparound jaw
No, if you:
Have an eye for details and would be bothered by chipped paint that could eventually lead to rust
Mind having to coax the handle to get the hitch jaws to open up, especially if you're on uneven ground

Secure Wraparound Jaw with Locking Bar
The single-piece, strong wraparound jaw completely surrounds your trailer's king pin for 360 degrees of contact. This wraparound jaw provides a more secure connection than standard 2-piece jaws that close in on the king pin from the sides. The increased jaw-to-king-pin contact on the Premier Series hitch offers tighter tolerances around the king pin, which minimizes both rattle and chucking, for a smooth, quiet ride.
A 3/4" thick solid steel locking bar spans the area in front of the jaw. This bar provides an added barrier of protection against accidental disconnection so you can have peace of mind that your trailer is secure. The locking bar is attached to the jaw and to the spring-loaded handle. The bar automatically locks when the jaw closes around your king pin.
Double-Pivot, Cushioned Hitch Head
The double pivoting, cushioned head improves your towing experience dramatically by helping to reduce jarring and unwanted noise. Built-in pins allow the hitch head to pivot back and forth and side to side. And hookup is easy because the hitch head will automatically pivot to the proper angle when it comes into contact with your pin box.
Three polyurethane dampeners help to cushion the movement from the pivoting head and to reduce towing noise. Two of these dampeners are built into the head assembly to cushion the head's side-to-side pivoting. The third dampener cushions the back-and-forth motion and must be installed in the hitch prior to use. Installation of this third dampener is easy - simply press the dampener up into the pre-drilled hole underneath the hitch head
Easy Installation
The Premier Series hitch is designed to attach to universal above-bed base rails (sold separately). The hitch will fit most industry-standard rails, including those from B&W, Curt, Demco, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley. To assemble the hitch, all you have to do is bolt on the side plates and attach the head to the hitch base.
The side plates have 2 functions. They contain the feet that fit into your above-bed rails, and they allow you to raise or lower the hitch head to better match your pin box height. After you choose your desired height setting, simply bolt the side plates to the hitch base with the included hardware. Then attach the base to the rails with the included safety pins.

The Hitch was easy to install with the 16k setup and fit perfectly. But the brackets that run from one side to the other side are 1/2" too long to be able to bolt them in on our trucks rails. We cannot get it to the 21k rating. We now need to cut the brackets and have them welded to shorten them if we want to get to the higher capacity load.1486271
by: Matthew 07/27/2021
The hitch is great and the extra locking bar does ensure a safe hookup. The ability to pull the hitch and leave the base plate in so i can still use the bed is awesome.The only two downsides i would say are that the paint chips rather bad even in areas that have had no contact with anything which allows the hitch to rust. The only other piece is that even though this model is made for my truck it still rocks back amd forth a bit and the cotter pins fall out which allows the retaining pins to slide out as well. This can be fixed with some simple retaining wire.1106356

As always, great service from etrailer. Great prices, fast shipping.
As far as the product...Let me start by saying that Demco make absolutely first rate hitches. My only (constructive) criticism might be that their quality control might not be quite up to snuff. This is the second Demco hitch I've purchased, the first being a 21K Autoslide hitch. Again...fantastic product but upon arrival one of the four tabs that drop into the bed rails was welded on upside down. Demco replaced the part, no questions asked, terrific customer service. This 21K double pivot hitch arrived yesterday and went together well except one of the tabs wasn't welded perfectly squarely which made it extremely difficult to get it to drop into the existing bedrails (which worked perfectly for the prior Demco hitch). Managed to get it in...getting it out...well, that may be a bit of a challenge. Wouldn't stop me from purchasing another Demco product though.411739

Review from a similar Hijacker Premier Series in Fifth Wheel Hitch
I have to say I was very pleased with my unit it only cost $xxx to have installed and it fit perfectly for my truck a eight 2004 F2 50 super duty short bed I pull a 30 foot Alejo fifth wheel and my driveway is only 60 foot wide with my truck it’s 17 feet high turn that truck on a dime I would never have been able to get that RV out of that driveway if I did not have my sliding hitch which allowed me to turn my truck at a 90° angle from the trailer and pivot like a compass. I love this hitch and I will never own another1452042
Review from a similar Hijacker Premier Series in Fifth Wheel Hitch
So easy to install! I’m not overly handy and was able to complete in about an hour. Slid right into the puck system and bolted on from there. Was able to keep my bed liner in, just removed the bumpers from the bottom of the plate. Haven’t had any issues with the hitch after 5k miles of towing over the summer. GREAT PRODUCT!!1439984

Review from a similar Hijacker Premier Series in Fifth Wheel Hitch
Ordered this hitch 3 day shipping on Monday around noon and received Wednesday afternoon. Packaging had taken a beating, but no damage to hitch, and all parts where there. Assembled hitch piece by piece in the bed of my Ram 2500 short bed. Went together like clockwork. Took be about 2 hours, taking my time because it was 93 degrees in my garage. Picked up new 34 foot fifth wheel RV that Saturday. Hitch locked on to pin with a reassuring solid lock sound and towed well. Very happy with eTrailer and Demco.287343
Overall happy with the hitch. My one complaint would be that if the king pin does not go into the latch just right, it will not latch. It sometimes takes 3 or four attempts to hit at the Just the right angle, not large movements, Usually just have to pull forward, turn the wheels a bit and back into it again. This doesnt occur on every hitch up, but happens more than I care for.

I have never assembled a 5th wheel receiver before. This is an excellent product that could have had better instructions. It pulls a 2022 Attitude 3220SAG.1119716
Comments
Can I switch heads from a 16k to 21k or do I need to buy all new setup
Yes the Demco 16K and 21K hitch heads are interchangeable however it will not increase the weight capacity of the hitch to change the head. The weight capacity is determined by the base, so if your goal is to increase the capacity you will need a new base as well.

Just back from a 500 mile first use on some of Wisconsin's wonderful roads. New hitch is definitely a step or or two above my old hitch. Package arrived slightly damaged, but contents were well protected inside. Installation was very easy.1343874

Review from a similar Hijacker Premier Series in Fifth Wheel Hitch
This Slider hitch was a perfect fit for my Silverado 2500 standard bed. The several height adjustments gave me the height I needed and the shorter slide gave me the distance I needed to clear my cab window and still clear the truck bed without any worries. I highly recommend it1358562

Review from a similar Hijacker Premier Series in Fifth Wheel Hitch
After having this hitch for one year, I’m pretty disappointed. This hitch has the most play of any hitch I’ve ever had. The curt hitch I have has no play. Also the the handle for the slide is not very user friendly. If you pull it too hard it will simply pull out of one side. It will get the job done if you don’t have any other choice. The only reason I purchased this brand was because it was the only brand I could get during Covid.1329459

Review from a similar Hijacker Premier Series in Fifth Wheel Hitch
I ordered this hitch for my 2018 Titan XD. Very well made hitch. This install does take about 2 hours if you are assembling it by yourself. The parts are heavy as due expected for such a solid hitch. I did find that installing the base plate to the factory gooseneck hitch with a drop in bed liner does require removing all the shims from underneath the plate. If possible, assemble this hitch in the bed of the truck. The parts assembled complete makes for a very heavy hitch to put in the bed by yourself. I had to due to storms the night I assembled it. Due to shipping damage, I had to get replacement parts sent to me but Lori was very fast to get them to me. I pull a 13.5K trailer and it worked flawlessly. I am very, very pleased with the finished product as well as the excellent customer service from etrailer. You will NOT be disappointed.677944

Review from a similar Hijacker Premier Series in Fifth Wheel Hitch
Really heavy duty. Easy to install in my 2019 Ram 2500 on my existing rails. Slides nicely when backing my 32' camper. After recently knocking out my back window with my stationary 5th wheel hitch. 785331
We can get you a 5th wheel hitch for your 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 that has a good amount of height, and in fact we can add a couple inches with a Demco hitch. You never mentioned if you had a short bed or long bed, so depending on if you need a sliding hitch or fixed hitch, here are the best options:
- Fixed Hitch: Demco Hijacker Premier Series Double Pivot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM6076P-21K
- Sliding Hitch: Demco Hijacker Premier Series Ultra Slide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM6076P-UL-21K

The likely reason the Pro Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch PS30094 (sliding model for short beds) or PS30093 (fixed model) is making noise when you are starting and stopping is because of the jaw system on this particular hitch. This is an economical hitch that uses a slide bar jaw, which means the jaws are not particularly tight around the king pin. It can also be a worn-out king pin if it is older, but a hitch with a slide bar jaw is simply going to have more play because it has a connection... view full answer...
The head of the Hijacker hitches by Demco like part # DM6076P-21K are pretty easy to remove. When the Demco rep came here to show us these hitches we went out and watched him install and remove the head of a Hijacker to allow the hitch to easily get removed from the rails. The head weighs right at 65 lbs and the hitch weighs 140 lbs total so removing the head will make the process much easier. view full answer...
It is not recommended to simultaneously use both an auto-sliding sliding 5th wheel hitch and a pivoting 5th wheel pin box like the Reese Revolution. The reason is that doing so will create two pivot points which is dangerous.
A standard sliding hitch can be used along with a Revolution or Sidewinder pin box so long as the hitch remains locked in its forward position at all times. Since the Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM6076P-21K is an automatic slider type it is not the best... view full answer...

Yes! You will be able to use the Demco Hijacker models to install into your bed of your 2022 Ram 2500 with a factory prep package. I recommend the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Ultra Slide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - 21K # DM6076P-UL-21K (for 6-1/2 foot beds) and # DM6076P-21K (for 8-foot beds).

I have the shipping weight of each Demco Hijacker Premier Seires fifth wheel hitch. The actual weight will be a little less because of the shipping materials so subtract few pounds.

21k fixed hitch, # DM6076P-21K is 140 pounds

All you need to install your Demco fifth wheel hitch is the correct adapter part # DM6099. This is a fit for your 2017 Ram 3500 and will give you the rail style your hitch requires to install. view full answer...
The hitch height settings of the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550043 are taken from the top of the base rails. Most base rails are around 1-1/8" tall therefore the total height of the Recon while set to the max height is 19-1/8" from the bed floor.
If you need more than this I recommend the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Double Pivot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM6076P-21K which will sit 20-1/8" above to bed rails while set to the max height. This option is also relatively... view full answer...
The Demco Hijacker Premier Series Double Pivot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part 8550020 is the same as the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Double Pivot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM6076P-21K but it also comes with the Universal Above-Bed Base Rails for Demco Premier Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # DM6071.

I do have a solution for you, however, the Patriot # BWRVK3270 is not compatible with your 2021 GMC 2500HD with the factory puck system due to the slider mechanism. There is currently no adapter or way to make this hitch work with your vehicle. You will need to get a new 5th wheel hitch that is compatible with the factory puck system.

We do not have a fifth wheel Prep kit for your 2017 F-350 but we do have a hitch that will work great for you.
I recommend the uper Duty Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit, part # DM8552031-71. This kit features mounting brackets that install below the truck bed and give you attach points for the above-bed base rails for the fifth wheel hitch.

Actually, Demco installation kit # DM8552005-71 will fit a 1996 Ford F-350 with or without overload springs. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.
For a hitch you can use the Demco HiJacker # DM6076P-21K. This is a fixed hitch rated for 21,000 pounds gross trailer weight. I have linked a video and the instructions for this hitch for you. view full answer...
The Demco Hijacker Premier Series part # DM6076P-21K does require a set of industry standard fifth wheel rails installed in the bed of the truck. If you have a Hijacker hitch already this will fit the same rails you have now but if you are looking for a set that fits your 1999 Ford F-250 you'd want the part # DM8552006-71. view full answer...
The Hijacker FWH34 that you have is an older model Hijacker that was produced by Victoria Industries before Demco bought the brand. It is a SL Series so you would need SL Series rails with part # DM8553007-12 which includes the custom brackets for the 2018 Silverado 3500 without the OEM prep package for 8 and 6-1/2 foot beds. view full answer...
To install the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Double Pivot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, 21K, # DM6076P-21K in your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500, you will also need the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches, # DM8552027-71. view full answer...
If you were looking for a better fixed fifth wheel hitch the Demco Premier Series part # DM6076P-21K is a really nice fifth wheel hitch that will be noticeable easier to use and much quieter when towing. If you wanted a slider hitch again the Demco Recon part # DM72MV is a really great design that is also very quiet and easy to use and can slide back 14 inches. It fits the same fifth wheel rails you have now as well. view full answer...
The jaw system on the Demco HiJacker 5th wheel trailer hitch # DM6076P-21K is very secure and one of the better designs available. The single latch jaw surrounds the king pin well and it also has a slide bar for added security. The hitch isn't cushioned like the Curt hitch you have though. I have included a link to a video review of this hitch for you.
The new Curt design on the A20, # C16140, is an improvement over the one you have now and offers better king pin contact. The hitch is... view full answer...
What you were experience is what is known as chucking. This is not something unusual and it can be caused by your 5th wheel jaw(s) not being very snug around the king pin, and/or the head of your 5th wheel does not move or pivot very much. When you hit a bump in the road, there is just enough wiggle room for the king pin to move since the trailer is moving differently than the truck for those few seconds. Another possibility that you will want to check is the Tongue Weight. The Tongue Weight... view full answer...
You used terms that are not compatible. You have a 5th wheel hitch which will have pin box with a king pin which is very different from a pintle hitch and lunette ring which would be a bumper pull industrial style trailer.
For your pin box, it is likely that there is not enough weight on the pin box which is likely partially due to the kayaks on the back even though they are light but your entire trailer is light so it does make an impact. You can move more weight toward the front... view full answer...
The max height of the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Double Pivot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM6076P-21K that you referenced is 19 inches. This would be 2 inches tall than what you have now it sounds like. If you are using a Ram rail kit adapter like the part # RP30154 this would fit just fine. view full answer...
It sounds like you currently have the fixed version of the 21k Demco Premier Series Double Pivot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM6076P-21K and are using the Replacement Slider Rails for Demco Premier Series Ultra Slide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # DM5999 and Replacement Side Plates for Demco Premier Series Ultra Slide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # DM6059 to make it the slider version like # DM6076P-UL-21K.
