Expert Take

The 18K Super 5th is a fixed puck-mount head for lighter fifth wheels up to 18,000 lbs, with the same premium build as the bigger Super 5th units. It tows tight with little chucking and installs cleanly into factory pucks, at a premium price.

About This Product

PullRite took a different approach with the Super 5th. Instead of the hitch doing all the pivoting, they put an air-ride system between the hitch and the trailer connection. The result is a smoother ride that absorbs road shock before it reaches your truck. If you have spent time behind a fifth wheel and gotten tired of the jarring and bouncing, this is designed to fix that.
The 18K model handles 18,000 pounds of trailer weight. It mounts to Ford OEM pucks - same factory prep package holes that other puck hitches use. Installation is similar to other puck-mount hitches though the air system adds some extra steps. Most people still handle it themselves.
The air-ride mechanism works automatically - you do not have to adjust anything while driving. It cushions the connection between truck and trailer, reducing the jolts that normally transfer straight through. This is not just about comfort. Less shock means less stress on your truck frame, your trailer frame, and the hitch itself over time.
PullRite has been making hitches for decades and the Super 5th line is their flagship product. The build quality reflects that - these are serious hitches for people who tow frequently and want the smoothest possible experience.
For Ford Super Duty trucks with factory puck prep. Check your specific bed length and clearance requirements - some configurations need a slider for tight turns.

8.8 /10 Stupid Simple Score

The 16K SuperGlide is the smallest auto-slider in the line, made for short-bed trucks pulling lighter fivers up to 16,000 lbs. It slides itself back on turns for cab clearance and rides smooth; the sliding head adds weight and a bit of install fuss.
