The idea is to move the trailer into a spot as you follow the trailer with the tow vehicle. If you are at 90 degrees , you are not moving into the spot at all. Extreme backing angles means dragging tires sideways. Depending on other factors, you will not be at more than 45 degrees. The terms to used when backing into a spot are: “Get under it” or “Follow it”. Tell the person guiding you, “ If you cannot see me in my mirror, I cannot see you”. If you are alone, do not except help from a stranger. He may back you into another RV and he will disappear in a flash. Get out and look as many times as it takes. When you think you are good at backing, try backing in the dark, with little or no light and on the “blind side” Advice from a 43 years trucker who had no preventable accidents in over three million miles.
I knew in the first sentence, you were a trucker. I've seen too many times, people backing trailers beyond a point of common sense, or ability to see. I drove 40 years and decided it was time to retire (at 58y old) looking at the business now, I'm glad I did
so in your opinion, is it necessary to have a set up to be able to go beyond 70-80 degrees? i have a stationary 5th wheel hitch and have my eyes on a nice short bed and am worried the set up wont be adequate. Thanks
You do make a very good point and you are 100% correct under the concept of what you're talking about here however, sometimes we're not actually backing into a spot having to follow the trailer. Sometimes we're on the road somewhere, needing to make a turn or maneuver someplace and we're turning at angles not typical. That's where the space shown here is important. Forward or reverse we need to know the available amount of angle to have the clearance needed in any situation. I know I"ve had mine at some extreme angles to get into or out of a situation. Not often but when I do, it's nice for me to know I can turn at a 90 degree angle if it's necessary all while keeping a good look at the tires and wheels when having to do so.
I love my Anderson Hitch. Worked unbelievably well with My 2021 F350 short bed even with a bakflip tonneau cover and a aux fuel tank. I now have it in my 2022 F350 long bed. 15K miles and smooth as silk. Great video and info! Towing a 20K Redwood 37" fith wheel. SOOO easy to remove, and replace. 5 min tops and really light
I have the exact same Pullright you tested here for my Grand Design Reflection 37' trailer and a short bed Chevy Duramax. I have owned fifth wheel trailers for 40 years and the Pullright is by far the best hitch I have ever used and owned. I highly recommend it. Well worth the money to set my mind at ease making tight turns and on uneven ground. Great video here. The attention to detail and your recommendations are right on track!
Our used Jayco North Point came with the Anderson. It was my first experience with it and didn't know anything about it other than the common sense of how to install my trailer to it. The only other type of 5th wheel trailer hitch I've used is the Goose Neck. The Anderson is a great concept and I do like it quite a bit though the next 5r we'll be upgrading to this spring will be using the Goose Neck for no other reason than I feel the Goose Neck accessory my Silverado Dually Long Bed has makes me feel more comfortable to use and I appreciate Goose Neck with it's stability and reliability, not saying the Anderson isn't stable and reliable what so ever, it's a "space used" situation as well. I will recommend Anderson to anyone oppose to the 5th wheel hitch assembly all day long. It's only 37 pounds to remove and get your full bed space when needed, simple to remove and just easy to store when you do remove it oppose to the weight of the 5th wheel hitch systems. But that's all just an opinion of this guy..... someone else might have a different idea and desire.
I have the Pullrite for my 2022 Ram (short bed) OE puck system, hitch is great for the autoslide functions and I'm never nervous turning in any situation. Drawbacks: * Hitch is almost 300lbs, needed a hoist to get in at friends shop, I leave mine in permanently, but looking to rig up something at home to get out by myself. * Hitch takes up most of my short bed. * You also have to have the trailer perfectly straight to back into the hitch, which can be a pain. If the truck is a bit crooked when the kingpin hits the hitch it will turn the hitch and won't latch. I'd like to see you compare a GenY Goose hitch with their new 5" set back goose ball attachment and on a wider 5th wheel.
Love to hear how you can remove that hitch from home. I have a forklift at work and store it there when not in use but it is a pain lifting it and looking at a much easier way to get it in and out. I hate losing my truck bed space. Use my Pullrite with an AirLift and the problem is it hits the side rails of my new slide truck cover. I was debating the Gen-Y pin box but still researching.
@@MarioElzen when I am not going to be using my hitch for a while I just unpin the hitch from the truck and then use the jacks on the fifth wheel to pull the hitch up off the truck and just leave it hanging there
Thank you for this video! Very informative to a newbie 5th wheel owner like myself. Ironically, I had already chosen the Super Glide but your video gives me that extra confidence.
I drove truck for 36yrs anytime your turning that sharp you could be damaging your axles or you could roll your tires off the rims. Don't forget about the tail swing. Good video on the hitches.
I have the older Anderson (black metal) and love it. Being able to hitch up at different heights/angels is awesome. I have a 35 ft reflection fifth wheel and a 2018 ram 2500 diesel short bed.
Good video- i have a f350 -2019 long bed w/ companion 5th wheel ,w/ pin weight of 1800 lbs , very happy w/ this system. We Feel safe , no noticeable chucking.
I own both the SuperGlide and the AUH (3200 rail mount version). Both are nice hitches. I had the Pullrite first but wanted to try the Andersen because loading the Pullrite sucks (even with two people). Downside to the Pullrite is the weight, and sometimes you get the chucking feel when the hitch slides back to neutral. And like others have said, it can be a pain to hitch/unhitch unless you are straight. Andersen advantage is the lack of weight and no chucking movement. In the end however, I worry a little more about hitting the cab or the side rails with the Andersen if I'm not paying attention due to the less clearance compared to the SuperGlide. I've kept both hitches because I wasn't sure which I wanted to stick with yet. And now I heard about the Sidewinder pinbox which makes me want to try it. Thanks for the comparison review.....
As a former driver of an 18 wheeler, I want to attach or disconnect my trailer with a push or a pull of a direct link or rod to close or open the jaws around the kingpin rather than a push/pull cable system and a twist to lock and a silent prayer it locked without visual proof.
I was on the fence between a pullrite and the AUH. I don't travel more than a few times a year with my 5th wheel so having the bed all the time was the biggest selling point. If I switch to once a month trips, I would have no issues picking up the pullrite.
I like how you didn't show the loading of the super glide. Definitely seems like you have a bias against the andersen. Curios if you have tried the reese goose box?
If you have to get 90 degrees, you are in the wrong place. Most folks that run into issues do so because they can't back a trailer. I run a Denali regular bed and have never had any issue with the Andersen. I am currently waiting on my 3rd gen to deliver Friday. The Andersen 3rd gen is tested to standards. My 2nd gen worked great but they offer the 3rd gen for $500 if you already own the 2nd gen. You can call them for details.
Nobody talks about the twist you are putting on trailer axles when you turn at anything close to 90 degrees. I've never been in a situation that requires 90 degrees. I have an anderson hitch and just love how light and easy it is install or remove not to mention how much more bed space I have.
That is my thoughts as well. I back into my driveway and that is a sharp turn but never 90 degrees. Plus that is hard on the trailer axles and tires unless you have it on ice. (not in Florida but the tires will slide LOL) Still debating to get the Anderson for ease of in and out.
I own the super glider hitch the disadvantage is you can’t disconnect the hitch at extreme angles or connect at an angle. You can’t get the capture plat to engage with the hitch
I switched from a super glide to an Anderson. I personally found the super glide to be difficult to get attached/detached. You have to be almost straight on to attach and detach. I had my camper perfectly into my site numerous times and couldn’t unhook because my truck wasn’t straight on. I had to pull the pins and remove the head. Not a huge deal, but annoying
You can and could have done a. 90% with and Anderson. I've been using Anderson for years now and can use to have to do almost a 90 to get it into where I park it in my driveway and it's not even and I have a slightly steep drive and have probably 6-7 inches between bed and bottom of trailer and have gotten into several tight spots with zero issue with my short bed f350. Also I don't need 3 people to take my hitch out. I can also haul more things in bed because of the open design. Must make more money off selling the pull rite I would guess...
I have a 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500HD that has a 6ft 7in standard bed. The 5th wheel I’m getting is a Keystone Cougar that has what is called Maximum Turn Radius front end. Would the PullRite still be the way to go?
This is a good hitch. Don’t get me wrong and I own one. But it is absolutely not good for tight quarters because you have to have your truck and trailer straight in line within just a few degrees or you can’t unhook or hook back up. After living with mine for two years, I would definitely just look for a tow vehicle with a long bed from now on.
90 degrees is good for nothing other than changing the angle or twist to agree with the parking space angle. You cant move "back" into the space at 90 degrees or near 90 degrees. The consequence of even doing that is you also twist your tires off your rims depending on how much you do it and how rough you are and how much weight you have on the tires.
I have a 2015 Ram 3500 with Ramboxes. Looking for a safe setup so as not to contact the ramboxes. I have the BW turnover ball installed. Will the PullRite Superlite work with my setup? The trailer we are looking at has a Morryde Orbital installed.
I appreciate the review l, but it would be so much more informative and balanced if you would have filmed both of them showing corresponding clearances while actually maneuvering. Doing it for the Anderson and not on the pull-rite leaves the viewer wondering why the really critical segments were left out ☹️
You should note that even though you can back into tight spaces at up to 90 degrees, you need to hitch and unhitch straight on due to the capture plate.
Allison, I just got a Pullrite 2900 and was watching some videos on operation. In a pinch you can back in angled, unhitch by pullling to two top pins which leaves the head of the hitch pinned to the trailer. Pull truck ahead then you take hitch head off trailer and repin it. You do need to be able to back straight on to rehitch!
Why didn't you show the pullrite as you got in position? Also, if the trailer is prevented from backing up by an obstruction such as a rock, does the hitch slid forward causing the cab clearance to unexpectedly decrease?
Add more length and a short bed you definitely want a super glide, which is rewlly hard to beat. But the weight and removal isnt good. 275 lbs for the 24K ram puck system a real inconvenience, border line PIA.
In my search for a 5th wheel receiver, I'm noticing that they are made specific for certain trucks. My question then is if you use top mounted bed rails that are universal, then isn't it a moot point?
This is 1 of MANY Superglide models. There are several models made specific for the different 5th wheel prep mounts that are being installed on many of the new trucks.
You did not mention that you can raise the ball in the Anderson hitch which allows you more clearance over your truck sides. Therefore, this is not a fair comparison. I have the Anderson hitch and with a raised ball. , i can get 90 degree turn.
Forward Clearance: The thing you don't address about the SuperGlide is that because it is directly over the ball the turn clearance going forward is greatly reduced whereas the 70 deg with the 4" rear offset is available all the time. It makes a huge difference in parking lots and gas stations.
I’m not sure why you choose to not use the Lippert installed Turning Point swivel hitch that you paid for when you got the Reflection 260RD trailer. I see it installed on the trailer in the video. You could unlock it by taking the two bolts out of the back of the pen box. Then reinstall the wedge in the hitch up by the pin, that you had to remove to make this video. Then use a cheap Reese 18K hitch in the truck. The turning point hitch will allow as much as a 90 degree turn, and made for lightweight short bed trucks.
Terribly biased review. I owned the Pullrite and used it tow an 18k lb Toyhauler, worked great and didn't have any concerns. However, you absolutely could have done a 90 degree angle with the Anderson and most likely would have had the same space as you did with the Pullrite. Then you talked about the height issue with the bed rails. Why not raise the ball on the Anderson?? It has the ability to do that, just decided to move right past that? Frustrating that I came here for an honest review and didn't get it, what a waste of time.
Agreed... BUT, there are many people torn between an automatic sliding hitch and an offset hitch and I felt like showing the differences that could be expected in regards to cab clearance.

You may be able to use an offset gooseneck ball to move the Andersen back a few inches.
My wife is pretty strong, I'm sure she won't mind moving a 200lb hitch in and out of the truck 3-4 times a week.
Why would you do that so much? Go bumper pull then.
As a former driver of an 18 wheeler, I want to attach or disconnect my trailer with a push or a pull of a direct link or rod to close or open the jaws around the kingpin rather than a push/pull cable system and a twist to lock and a silent prayer it locked without visual proof.
Ok so the main thing I’m taking away from this video is that ford made a short bed dually! I need to find one of these asap lmao

I need this exact video comparing the Superglide to a Reese hitch/Sidewinder pinbox combination. PLEASE!
I like how you didn't show the loading of the super glide. Definitely seems like you have a bias against the andersen. Curios if you have tried the reese goose box?
I thought that Grand Design Model came with a Curt Turning Point Hitch so it can be towed with a short bed.
I wish I'd seen this demonstration before I bought the Demco hitch for our short bed RAM 3500
What demco hitch did you buy? What one would you buy if you could do it again?
@@nickthehitchguy7648 The Pull Rite Super Glide looks like it would be lighter, easier to operate and So Much Lighter.

Yep, no wonder so many trailers have broken spring mounts and hangers.
A better comparison would be to show the clearance getting to 90 degrees. The Anderson might get there also but you didn't show it.
how about the goose box hitch if we are talking about a goose neck hitch why not compare?

The truck window distance on both hitches is about the same.
Tell me you are sponsored by Superglide without telling me you’re sponsored by Superglide. 😂
Clearly you could have turned 90 degrees with the Anderson. Nice promo for the slider😂
Add more length and a short bed you definitely want a super glide, which is rewlly hard to beat. But the weight and removal isnt good. 275 lbs for the 24K ram puck system a real inconvenience, border line PIA.

Real moral of the story, stop pulling 5th wheels with a short bed.
That’s why it’s better to Look for A Truck with 98” (8Ft. bed) Not the 6ft.Bed
If your pitched at 90 degrees your not moving the trailer straight back. Why would you get yourself in that situation.
Agee please explain.
I back mine deep into the spot. No way your continuing backward unless you unhook.
I’m not sure why you choose to not use the Lippert installed Turning Point swivel hitch that you paid for when you got the Reflection 260RD trailer. I see it installed on the trailer in the video. You could unlock it by taking the two bolts out of the back of the pen box. Then reinstall the wedge in the hitch up by the pin, that you had to remove to make this video. Then use a cheap Reese 18K hitch in the truck. The turning point hitch will allow as much as a 90 degree turn, and made for lightweight short bed trucks.
As limited as the Andersen turns, it's still better than a travel trailer...
Terribly biased review. I owned the Pullrite and used it tow an 18k lb Toyhauler, worked great and didn't have any concerns.

Superglide, good hitch but don't even think about taking out of you truck bed by yourself because it ain't gonna happen. Thing weighs too much!
Apples and oranges.
Agreed... BUT, there are many people torn between an automatic sliding hitch and an offset hitch and I felt like showing the differences that could be expected in regards to cab clearance.
Orrrrr….dont be a dumba$$ and just buy a long bed and the lightweight easy to remove Andersen hitch like me.
