An automatic sliding fifth wheel hitch made for short bed pickups, so the trailer swings clear of the cab in tight turns. It is heavy and the listing mentions two mounting systems without saying which comes with it.

Overview
A short bed pickup towing a fifth wheel trailer is the setting for this PullRite SuperGlide. The head slides itself back as the truck turns, then returns the trailer over the axle once it is straight again.
It exists to solve cab-to-trailer clearance on short beds without a manual slider. The downside for the owner is bulk, and the description jumps between weight classes, so the title rating is the safer figure.
Who it's for
Drivers who make sharp turns with a fifth wheel trailer behind a short bed and want the trailer to move away from the cab automatically. Owners who prefer a simple fixed head, or who need the exact base and rails spelled out, will find the listing unclear.
Pros and cons
- Automatic slide in turns
- Dual pivot articulating head
- Gear driven latch limits bump
- Rotary latch locks automatically on hookup
- Weight rating varies in the description
- Mounting system choice not clear
- Short return window only
Performance notes
A gear driven slide moves the head backward while turning and returns it over the axle when the truck straightens, going forward or backing. The latch is built to leave very little clearance around the king pin, which reduces bump while towing.

Frequently asked questions
Is the PullRite SuperGlide a manual slider hitch?
No. It moves the trailer away from the cab automatically while you drive and turn, and returns it to the towing position when the turn ends.
Is it a 16K or 14K hitch?
The title and pull force say 16,000 pounds. The description text refers to 14K and 18K models, so confirm the rating with the seller.
