Expert Take

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.

About This Product

The PullRite SuperGlide is an automatic sliding hitch. When you turn sharp enough that your trailer needs clearance, the hitch slides back on its own. When you straighten out, it slides forward again. You do not have to get out of the truck, pull pins, or remember to do anything. It just works.
This 16K model handles 16,000 pounds of trailer weight. It is designed specifically for short bed trucks where cab clearance is a constant concern. With a fixed hitch on a short bed, you are always thinking about how tight you can turn. With the SuperGlide, you just drive normally and let the hitch figure it out.
The automatic action is purely mechanical - no electronics, no air systems, nothing to fail. The geometry of the hitch and the forces from the trailer make it slide when needed. It has been refined over years of production and real-world use.
Installation is more complex than a fixed hitch because of the sliding mechanism. Budget extra time or have a shop do it if you are not comfortable with mechanical assemblies. Once installed, there is minimal maintenance - just occasional lubrication of the slide rails.
If you have a short bed truck and want to forget about clearance issues forever, this is the solution. For Ford trucks with factory puck prep. The automatic sliding mechanism is what sets PullRite apart from manual slider hitches.
