OE Puck System

Expert Take

Another 21K Autoslide puck-mount that auto-shifts in turns to protect the cab on short-bed trucks. Reasonably priced for an auto-slider, but the mechanism adds heft at install and articulation is decent rather than great.

About This Product

This fifth wheel hitch drops directly into factory OE pucks. No adapter needed. If your truck came with the fifth wheel prep package, you have pucks in your bed ready to accept this hitch.

The automatic mechanism slides the hitch when turning forces require clearance, returns it forward when you straighten out. No manual intervention.

Installation is more involved than fixed hitches. Once in, the convenience of automatic sliding is worth it for short bed owners.

For short bed trucks only. If you have a long bed, save the money and complexity with a fixed hitch.
