I’ve had a Pullrite Superglide since ‘05 and have had only one “user error” problem, they over nighted a new part, no questions asked. Great product backed by the best customer service and technician assistance company I’ve ever dealt with. I don’t believe I will ever look anywhere else for a hitch again.
for those that have trouble lining up or pulling a trailer. save yourself a lot of money and find an empty well lit parking lot in the middle of the night and practice practice practice.
I use a Pull Rite Superlite 20k. Same one he shows at the beginning. I absolutely love it. Piece of cake to hook up with. No movement what so ever towing. I always check my torque specs before towing 45ftlbs on the front nut, 65 ftlbs on the top nut. I also use the recommended spray on dry graphite lube before every trip on the ball. I tow a 43ft toy hauler with a loaded weight of 19k behind the dually. Again I love this hitch and recommend it whenever I get a chance.
I own one of these hitches. Have for about 5 years. Never had a single issue. Less moving parts the better. The section bolted to the pin box is very heavy and when in use with the hitch feels very well connected and inspires confidence. If there were one issue, when I dropped off my fifth wheel to be serviced at the dealership, they detached the ball from pin box to transport. When the rig was ready they brought it to me at which time I informed them I couldn't hook up, they had to reinstall which required another work order. I was not charged but when I go to the dealer now they have me put the fifth wheel in the shop and that's where I pick it up.
I've been pulling my 19,000 lbs loaded, Jayco Siesmic 4212 Toy hauler with the aluminum Anderson Ultimate hitch for 4 years. I can take it out and put it in with one arm by myself. Never once have I had it come loose or bend in any way shape or form.
Dude its like you read my mind on these topics... I’ll be RVing next year and it’ll be FT, so I’m building my list of what I need. I kept searching for a 5th wheel hitch that was easily removable and that used a Gooseneck type system.... Awesome job....
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
Andersen has lifetime warranty on base and coupler block vs only 5 year, Andersen 24k rating vs 20k rating, Andersen has 3 different height adjustment settings, Andersen 35lb base vs 60lb base, Basically they liked the Andersen Ultimate so much themselves they decided to copy it and flip the coupler around.
C R Anderson Hitch is superior in my opinion. In addition to above mentioned, my Anderson arrived damaged in shipping, made one phone call, answered immediately and after literally 1 minute I was being sent a new one from the factory with free shipping on return. No fuss customer service. New unit arrived priority shipping in 2 days. They have a customer for life!
The Pullrite SuperLite product is relatively new, but inverted-ball hitches have been around for a long time. They were commercially available for conventional ("bumper pull") trailers a couple of decades ago.
Another great informative video. Maybe I haven't seen it on your video list yet but I would love to see a video on the different ways to attach a BIG 5th wheel to a 1-ton truck, both short bed and long bed. Terms like puck, goose box, etc. don't mean anything to me, yet. I'm still learning the terms but knowing the terms will help me determine the right setup for me.
I own this hitch. I like it, the heaviest part is 55 lbs so much better than the slider I had before. I can back up to 77 degrees, not a full 90. 2018 F250, 6 1/2 ft bed. Fits the Ford OEM mounting holes perfectly. ( I have the rail kit vs the goose ball, preferred having 4 points of contact).
The best hitch design is one that flips down into the bed. There when you need it and no need to lug into your truck a heavy attachment. The gooseneck hitch is hard to beat. I just wished the rv’s just came with a gooseneck.
We paid $500 for an adapter (from etrailer.com -- rated at 20K) which bolts to our fifth wheel pin and stays with the trailer. I love the reversa-ball on our gooseneck hitch -- keeps the bed clean. More than 50,000 miles later, my only complaint is that it does change the leverage (like putting a cheater bar on the pin) and I'm nearly certain we have done some damage to the steel frame (vicinity of pin box) on our trailer which we hope to have repaired this summer. We do some rather extreme offroading with our 33' fifth wheel and nothing gets babied in our world. If it *can* go wrong, it will -- it's only a matter of time. :)
I'm gonna stick with my goosebox as well. I am still planning on putting a hauler bed/skirted flat bed on the F450, and with that, the gooseneck ball/goosebox will be a much better fit. My only complaint about the goosebox is on a dark color truck (mine's magnetic gray) seeing the ball and where the actual goosebox is, is damn near impossible to line up perfectly, even with the bed camera. That funnel in this vid is a cool idea... heh. I also like the airbag in the goosebox... makes things a LOT smoother.
JD i pulled the trigger and replaced my trail air with a Reese goose ball hitch i hope i will like it.Im like you as in i like a clean and clear bed. Great video.
I pull a 10k pound 5er with my GMC 2500HD diesel and the Anderson Ultimate hitch and after over 2 years have had zero issues. But I do like this hitch, just not enough to scrap the $600 I paid for the Anderson.
I have the superglide 18k. Had it over a year. Bought it for a 2015 F250 Lariat 6.6' bed. Just traded for 2017 F350 dually with 8' bed. Now overkill, but still love it.
I had a swivel head hitch and modified it so it moved very little, definitely help the trailer from laying up so easily. It wouldn't take anything for the trailer to lay up close to my bed rails now it squats the truck suspension instead
Great video, question why if you don’t-have the puck system in your truck and how much does the slider hitch weigh ?? Any updates or help is great full! Thanks GC
Just one suggestion on washer and dryer. Could they put them on a wheel frame that allows owner to pull out from wall or closet to shut off water. When I brought my washer and dryer the salesperson told me to preserve the washer hose turn water to hose off everytime because water remains in hose and in responsible for break and leak. He was right and have not had to change hose or had leak for 20 years now.
While I have the Andersen Ultimate, I would have no problem with the Pullrite version as it appears to be well conceived and executed. I actually broke one AUH plastic funnel and got another immediate by sending Andersen a photo. At age 73, I am happy to work with my 35 lb hitch vs a 60 lb hitch and won't change just to get away from Andersen bashers.
That first fifth wheel hitch which receives the ball from the trailer could be a real Lifesaver if you're a boondocker although if it's a really rough terrain area I just would not unhook the truck from the trailer
When buying my 5th wheel i knew i wanted a unit that attached to my gooseball. I had decided to buy a pullrite. The dealership i was at said they would make me a deal on one because they had several that were returned "because customers changed their mind". I kind of thought that was odd but i said ok let me look at them. All 4 they had were damaged in some way on the ball mount system that connects to the kingpin. Broken bolts,stripped out holes etc. I went to see the manager and asked what the deal was. He said "oh no, I'm not selling those. We arent ordering anymore because too many defects." Not trying to bash them just letting you know what happened. I did end up with an anderson and have had no problems.
I figured it was just a matter of time till someone made a steel version on the Anderson with so,e minor changes hopefully it holds up better than that aluminum one!
I would like to see more on the Reese Goose Box A very light weight quick change bed availability How is the shock distribution compared to the standard 5th wheel hitch
I own the super glide 24k for a ram with the puck system in a mega cab. I absolutely love the peace of mind and functionality. My only gripe is that when turning near 45-90deg, I need to ease on or roll on the throttle while the the hitch is going back to the straight position. If I gun it, I sometimes experience a clunking feeling as the head goes into the straight driving position.
Mine had an adjustment in the front. Tightened the “jamnut” and it took out any play when returning to straight after being in the turn/slide position.
Can you get to 90 in your mega? I've been measuring my truck and 5th wheel over and over because I want the Andersen ( or pullrite) but my nose cap doesn't have the indentations to clear the cab. I called Andersen about this and the guy just chuckled and said, " if you gotta go 90°, your not towing properly". I almost hung up on the dude. The way my driveway is set up, I have to go 90 Everytime parking the 5er in her spot.
Michael Singer yes I can. it sounds like the super glide may not be the right option for you. Also To hook up and disconnect, the truck and trailer need to be straight with each other. Also my 5th genesis supreme has the cuts in the corner which helps significantly. It’s tight but can be done.
My front cap on my 5th was straight, no cut back on corners and I could turn 90. My issue was mine was on 35s with about 1inch lift so my bed rails could contact the bottom of trailer when on uneven road.
Jason Saunders mine is on 37’s with 3” lift and have 5-7” of gap between the bed rails and bottom over hang of the 5th. My carli air bags are schedule to be released in 3 weeks. After I put those on I should have a little more than 6”. The truck is currently squatting 2-3/8”.
1 minute in and this sales guy is trying his best to throw shade at Andersen without anything to back his claims. Andersen is a great design and extremely light weight. I am sure this setup is very nice as well, especially the sliding feature
I would get a goose box but if I had to choose this or the Anderson I would choose this because you don’t have the funnel on top of the ball just so I can see more going on
I was waiting for that question that was the biggy with the Reese Goosebox. That Lippert did keep warranty. So I kept waiting to hear you ask him if Lippert still guaranteed the frame of stress when bolting that adapter to the box.
Nothing against pull rite, but my uncle bought used 17 or 18 Gmc 3500 DRW. It had there rails and fifth wheel hitch in it. He needed gooseneck for his cattle trailer. So the dealer got him a plate for the rails. I'm guessing its there brand because there rails are pretty tall and doesn't look like Reese or curt style would work with it. But where I'm going is with there plate the ball is to low and the coupler on trailer rubs on the plate with any un even ground. The slightest till side to side it rubs. So he's going back to B&W hitch he had before. I'm not saying its pull rites problem but maybe its the couple design but they might want to make there ball about 1in taller that they weld to the plate. He had the same trailer for years and work fine with previous truck with B&W and truck before that f-250 with Reese fifth wheel rails and there gooseneck plate. It looks like the model he has/had issues with is traditional series style goose plate. idk if he got the b&w style yet.
I have the Pullrite 2600 I’m pulling a fifth wheel 270 BN reflection, and the bolt bent on the adapter that goes on the pin on the fifth wheel. Need to buy stronger bolts I’m guessing!!!
Loved it in my mega cab dodge. Had a husky then a Reese. Ended up with superglide pullright. I’d never use anything else. So easy and never had the same jerky motion. The manual slide where you have to pull a lever to roll it backwards was awful. The auto slide is the only way to go. Plus the way it locks on the king pin is excellent. No movement or slop always locked in even when uneven or at an angle.
I like this as an alternative to a rail mount 5th wheel. I think I prefer the puck system tow packages the manufactures are putting in their trucks tho.
After seeing some people with the Andersen hitch bending I’ll never get one of those. Aluminum is not near as strong as the pullrite steel ones. I have a Curt from my last truck but may go to the pullrite superglide slider.
This is nothing but an upside down GN hitch and it’s great b/c I’ve always said to myself wtf won’t someone invent this exact same thing. Hole in the truck bed with the 2 5/16 ball on the trailer! Great!
Only thing I don’t like about my Pullrite 2600 is the yard I go to when I drop my fifth wheel off, has no way of moving it around unless I remove the adapter.
@@chrisharris9115 nah, they manufacture goosebox products anyway, I got the impression he is management rather than being a dedicated salesperson, which is good, one less wage to pay when buying their products.
I had much less w my super glide. Compared to a Reese or husky manual slide. The automatic super glide was best I’ve ever used. The way it locks around the pin leaves very little room for any movement. The others had a lot more “slop”.
Not a fan on any of these hitches or swivel head hitches. I think it allows the camper to rock back and forth easily and lay up more on corners. The stationary hitches are harder to hook up at times but it helps keep the whole unit acting as one, the tow vehicle absorbs some of the rocking. Imagine a big truck having a swivel type hitched they would probably be rolled over on every corner
It's an upside down goose-neck hitch. I still would only buy the Reese goose neck pin box and only have a goose-neck ball in my bed. You will not have to lift that HEAVY hitch out of the bed of your truck and find a place to store it when not in use.
If Pullrite made a slider hitch that connects to a gooseball, I'd buy it because the rail mounts require drilling into your Truck bed by people who are low quality Goobers and don't care.
I used to own the Superglide and it was a TOTAL PITA to hook up. You had to have a capture plate on the kingpin and had to be lined up almost perfectly in order to connect. I couldn't wait to get rid of that expensive and incredibly heavy hitch. I now have a 42 pound competitor made entirely of US steel and love the ease of use! Their concept is valid for the ball hitch but I can't recommend the Superglide.
Hell just another fancy hitch that's all it is simply put if I was going to have a hitch the pull camper like that I'd have a fifth-wheel just like you would see on a big semi over-the-road semi before I'd have some ball like that if I pull a lot of gooseneck trailers hauling cattle with horses and stuff and I don't see no purpose of it
Hey man, I love your content, but I miss the truck videos and the rants! It's been about 2 months since I was excited about an upload :( You did the poll a while back and I know RV reviews won, but please balance out the content a bit more. I love the channel because of your honesty and knowledge!
I feel like you're espousing 'not branching out into other businesses' as a good thing, but isn't it in a businesses best interest to branch out once they're succesful?
Depends, branching out into other areas can be a negative if it takes focus away from your core business. Some businesses are perfectly happy focusing on one type of product, and doing it well. Not everyone wants to be Bill Gates.

I had a PullRite 16K slider 5th wheel hitch. Absolutely loved it!! The hitch worked flawlessly!
I bought a Goosebox because that's the only modified hitch that Lippert approved in writing. Love my goosebox.
for those that have trouble lining up or pulling a trailer. save yourself a lot of money and find an empty well lit parking lot in the middle of the night and practice practice practice.

Hello, since you've had it for about a year now do you still love the hitch? Looking to upgrade and this is 1 of the 3 I'm thinking about. Thank you
I just ordered this hitch today, can't wait to see how good it is
I like the gooseneck hitch setup JD. Thanks for sharing this video.
I bought one of the 16k superglides a few days back, awesome product

I just looked them up and I like the Andersen hitch better as well :-) this whole time I didn’t even know what competitor he was talking about.
There are pictures out there of the Anderson failing and collapsing.
I have this same hitch for my short bed and love it, great job PullRite.
I'm going to look into this company for my next hitch.
Very impressed great product would buy if needing new setup. You’re becoming my favorite youtube maker. High five
Thanks!
I'll keep my Anderson thank you very much.
"Slide hitch shown comes with 3 fingers!" 😱✌
I love their Super Glides and am looking at one right now.
The Pullrite SuperLite product is relatively new, but inverted-ball hitches have been around for a long time. They were commercially available for conventional ("bumper pull") trailers a couple of decades ago.

WOW keep your fingers out of the jaws on the slider hitch. It'll getcha!
This guy is a good salesman.

Have one of these and it's great. One thing though, you will need safety chains on any hitch of this type. Andersen also.

Great video! Thanks!!
Pull right look like I should do purchased it for any tow or haul
J.D. can you please explain why one would need the 5th wheel hitch to slide at all? Especially say in a turn?
This is nothing but an upside down GN hitch and it’s great b/c I’ve always said to myself wtf won’t someone invent this exact same thing. Hole in the truck bed with the 2 5/16 ball on the trailer! Great!
A few friends here have had problems with their pullrite hitches.
I’ll stick with my BlueOx Super Ride.
Going to buy one
Only thing I don’t like about my Pullrite 2600 is the yard I go to when I drop my fifth wheel off, has no way of moving it around unless I remove the adapter.
Inverted anderson. I'll keep my Reese Goosebox.
Neat units 👌
The way my rapid hitch held up in just southern California I'd never own any of their products so much rust in 2 years
Thanks for the video
5:49 “we’ve actually seen where competitors balls have frozen up”
I don't know about you, but I don't look at my competitors balls. Lol
Tex Garcia 😂. Same.
Seems like he got defensive once JD mentioned he uses the goosebox and stayed defensive the entire time.
@@chrisharris9115 nah, they manufacture goosebox products anyway, I got the impression he is management rather than being a dedicated salesperson, which is good, one less wage to pay when buying their products.
dingle dooley Paul is a salesman, who owns a fifth wheel and camps. Just saying.
Good salesman.
I’ve seen the plastic on the goose box break numerous times
With that slider hitch, I would think there would be a lot of chucking and such with it. Or am I just thinking wrongly
I had much less w my super glide. Compared to a Reese or husky manual slide. The automatic super glide was best I’ve ever used. The way it locks around the pin leaves very little room for any movement. The others had a lot more “slop”.
Not a fan on any of these hitches or swivel head hitches. I think it allows the camper to rock back and forth easily and lay up more on corners. The stationary hitches are harder to hook up at times but it helps keep the whole unit acting as one, the tow vehicle absorbs some of the rocking. Imagine a big truck having a swivel type hitched they would probably be rolled over on every corner
It is really annoying that in the SuperLite section we only occasionally see bits of the hitch, as the camera is pointed at the sales guy.
I went with a Automated safty hitch system for my fifth wheel
Do you have any recommendations on how to mount hitch rails on a CM flatbed with a built in gooseneck ball
It's an upside down goose-neck hitch. I still would only buy the Reese goose neck pin box and only have a goose-neck ball in my bed. You will not have to lift that HEAVY hitch out of the bed of your truck and find a place to store it when not in use.
If Pullrite made a slider hitch that connects to a gooseball, I'd buy it because the rail mounts require drilling into your Truck bed by people who are low quality Goobers and don't care.
Are you going to try this one it looks neat
Andersen came and stole my aluminum fence posts one night and then tried to sell me a hitch the next day! Bastards!
Nice hitches but not very affordable. I’ve looked into all these and they’re pretty pricey. It would be nice to see these a little more affordable.
I used to own the Superglide and it was a TOTAL PITA to hook up. You had to have a capture plate on the kingpin and had to be lined up almost perfectly in order to connect. I couldn't wait to get rid of that expensive and incredibly heavy hitch. I now have a 42 pound competitor made entirely of US steel and love the ease of use! Their concept is valid for the ball hitch but I can't recommend the Superglide.
Hell just another fancy hitch that's all it is simply put if I was going to have a hitch the pull camper like that I'd have a fifth-wheel just like you would see on a big semi over-the-road semi before I'd have some ball like that if I pull a lot of gooseneck trailers hauling cattle with horses and stuff and I don't see no purpose of it
So does the goose ball hitch, does it create the same issue you talked about changing where the weight/pressure is put on the frame?
No. LCI aporoves it in their frames as well
Looks to me like a reversed Anderson hitch
I love my SuperLite! A much better and stronger design than the Andersen.
Is there any offset on the Superlite for shortbed trucks?
Does PullRite have a Gooseneck slider?
Who needs a hitch when you can just duct tape your trailer to your truck
Lol nice. Duct tape can fix anything. I’m sure there is an Oakie out there that’s tried it.
I like to know what kind of US made steel?
Hey man, I love your content, but I miss the truck videos and the rants! It's been about 2 months since I was excited about an upload :(
You did the poll a while back and I know RV reviews won, but please balance out the content a bit more. I love the channel because of your honesty and knowledge!
Actually I've been waiting on demo trucks. They have been backlogged.. I'd like to get back to truck videos also. :(
Big Truck Big RV oh alright, well that's great to hear! Sucks that they're backlogged, but no worries man!
Just ordered a 2022 RAM 2500. Four month wait.
I feel like you're espousing 'not branching out into other businesses' as a good thing, but isn't it in a businesses best interest to branch out once they're succesful?
Depends, branching out into other areas can be a negative if it takes focus away from your core business. Some businesses are perfectly happy focusing on one type of product, and doing it well. Not everyone wants to be Bill Gates.
What does the slider weigh?
can we just move to Gen Y Spartan goose necks?
One bolt tying it to the goose neck ball?
That seems under built. I’d like to see it closer.
It has 2 pins connecting it to the ball. I have this hitch and it works great.
Gooseball right side up = requires safety chains
Gooseball upside down = no safety chains
Interesting....
What is the tounge weight rating on the Pullrite 2600?
5,000 pounds
Why not just make these to work with the puck system
