Demco 8550060 Autoslide 18K 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram OEM Prep Package

The Demco 8550060 Autoslide is an advanced 18,000 lb capacity fifth wheel hitch engineered specifically for Dodge and Ram trucks with OEM prep packages. This innovative hitch features automatic sliding technology that activates without requiring a locking plate for standard pin boxes, making hookup and maneuvering significantly easier in tight spaces.

Key Features:

• 18,000 lb towing capacity for heavy-duty fifth wheel trailers
• Automatic slide mechanism with up to 14 inches of rearward travel for tight turning
• Rack and pinion gear technology for smooth, reliable sliding action
• Wrap-around jaw design with locking bar for enhanced security and stability
• UMS (under bed) mounting system keeps truck bed clear when hitch is removed
• Three vertical height adjustments to properly level truck and trailer
• Lower profile, lighter weight design for easier installation and removal
• Easy access for routine maintenance
• Made in the USA with American steel
• 5-year manufacturer warranty

The hitch utilizes a patent-pending design that requires no locking plate for standard pin boxes to activate the slide mechanism. However, a locking plate is required when used with suspension pin boxes including Demco Glide Ride, MorRyde, RotoFlex, Trailair Tri Glide, Trailair Flexair, or 5th Airborne systems. This hitch is designed to work with Dodge and Ram factory prep packages, providing a secure, integrated mounting solution that maximizes truck bed usability when not towing.
