OE Puck System
Expert Take
The 27K M5 hits the sweet spot for most big fifth wheels and seats in the Ford Super Duty factory puck system for a quick fixed install. Good jaw engagement and a quiet tow make it a sensible mid-heavy choice for F-250/F-350 owners.
About This Product
The Demco M5 27K steps up the capacity to 27,000 pounds while keeping the same self-aligning head design. The funnel-shaped head guides your kingpin into position even when you are not perfectly lined up. Bigger trailer, same easy hookups.
This is serious capacity for serious fifth wheels. Large toy haulers, luxury fifth wheels, anything that pushes into the upper weight ranges. The construction matches the rating with heavier components throughout.
Same hookup advantage as the lighter M5 models - the head shape does the alignment work for you. Back up to roughly the right spot and the kingpin finds its way in. This matters more than people expect until they have struggled with a hitch that demands perfect alignment.
Demco offers different mounting bases for different truck configurations. Match the base to your setup - pucks, rails, whatever you have. The M5 head then attaches to the base and you are ready to tow.
If you need the capacity and want the easiest possible hookups, this is a strong choice. The self-aligning design works especially well for solo towers without a spotter helping them back up.

16K SuperGlide
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.
