21K Autoslide

The Reese Autoslide 21K combines 21,000 pounds of capacity with automatic sliding. Short bed truck owners get cab clearance without manual slider operation. The hitch slides back when turning forces call for it, returns forward when you straighten out.

This is the sweet spot for most short bed fifth wheel towers - enough capacity for large trailers, automatic operation for convenience. No stopping to manually slide the hitch, no forgetting and hearing your trailer hit the cab.

The automatic mechanism is mechanical - turning forces activate the slide. Nothing electronic to break. Reese has refined this system over years of production.

Installation takes longer than fixed hitches due to the sliding assembly. Many people have shops handle it, though experienced DIYers manage fine. Once in, just occasional lubrication.

For short bed trucks with factory puck prep. If you have a long bed, save the money and complexity - get a fixed hitch. Automatic sliding is specifically for short bed clearance.
