OE Puck System

Expert Take

Husky's 26K KW Series for Ford Super Duty drops straight into the factory puck system and levers out without rails, which keeps install painless. Build is solid mid-tier and the capacity covers big rigs, but the head has no fore-aft cushioning so it chucks more than the sprung premium units.

About This Product

The Husky 26K KW Series is the heavy-duty version of their rail-mount hitch line. Twenty-six thousand pounds of towing capacity for larger fifth wheels and toy haulers. Same rail-mount design that works independent of truck-specific puck systems.

Rail mounting means you install a set of rails in your truck bed first, then the hitch attaches to those rails. More installation work than puck-mount hitches, but you get flexibility - the rails work with any compatible rail-mount hitch and can stay in the truck if you upgrade later.

The 26K capacity handles serious weight. If your trailer is actually in this range, you need a hitch built to match. The KW series construction reflects the higher rating with beefier components and mounting hardware.

Husky keeps the design straightforward. Secure jaw grip, height adjustment for leveling, durable powder coat finish. These are working hitches designed for people who tow regularly and want reliability without unnecessary complexity.

Good option if you do not have factory pucks or want the flexibility of rail mounting. For trucks that can accept rail installation - check specific requirements for your bed. If you do have factory pucks, puck-mount hitches are usually simpler to install and remove.

The 20K Companion offers the same cushioned, fully-articulating head as the bigger 25K, just rated for lighter fivers. It drops into factory pucks and tows about as smooth and quiet as a fifth wheel gets.

8.8 /10 Stupid Simple Score

The 20K SuperGlide is an automatic-sliding fifth wheel for short beds, sized for mid-weight fivers up to 20,000 lbs. It self-slides on turns for full cab clearance and tows quiet, with the usual auto-slide weight and a step up in install effort.

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.
