Rethinking my 5th hitch

[Mikayles]

I ordered the Pullrite superlite from amazon. It was damaged in shipping and returned to Amazon by ups. I had a superglide in my old truck and while yes its heavy, I have a hoist to get it out with. Thinking about going back to one as it never gave me any trouble in my prior truck. I do like the piece of mind of not worrying about it. I did bust out the window and did considerable cab damage, when I panicked making a tight u turn in traffic before I had the superglide in my old truck. I'm thinking the superlite I ordered must have been pretty damaged to warrant the shipper sending it back.
If you don't mind the weight and price IMHO the superglide is a great way to go for a shortbed truck, if you want an auto slide unit.
I like the B&W manual slider also but saw a few youtube vids about doing damage to the tailgate on the RAM trucks with it.

I love the hitch but do not like how much it weighs. I always have to ask for help removing when I need the bed. I like the look and weight of the Anderson Ultimate but it does not slide. We are looking at the 2020 F350 short bed. Will I have an issue with the hitch not being a slider? Thanks in advance.

It depend on your setup, I had the non-slider and the slider B&W and when I had the slider I never had to use it but man it was heavy and yes I did had a hoist to lift it but their were times that I wasn't able to get to my hoist, so I didn't feel like doing that so I went this route. So these are a few pics of my turning radius, I shouldn't never have to turn this tight and if I do I will back up at another angle.

The people that have the Anderson Ultimate hitch have been having good luck with the hitch but you have to be comfortable in whatever way you go.

These are a one more inside the bed.

Big1...is your hitch set on its lowest setting as far as height goes? It looks like its fine in your truck.

I have an Anderson ultimate hitch and I love it.m Lightweight and very easy to hook up. Plus its very quiet when pulling.

Yes sir, it is, I figure if I had to move it up I can easily adjust it but I didn't have to. I think that it's the prefect size my 5th wheel ride level.

I was looking at the AUH before I bought the Pullrite I figure that I could have gone either way, I heard a lot of good things about the hitch.
