#2715 OE Puck Series 16K SuperGlide, Automatically Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch for Short Bed 2016-2019 GM Trucks
The fully automatic, sliding #2715 OE Puck Series SuperGlide is designed specifically for GM short bed trucks with pucks and is the ONLY automatic sliding hitch designed for factory fifth wheel mounts! This direct attachment hitch mounts directly to your truck's OE mounting points...NO ADAPTER RAILS NEEDED!
This hitch is in great condition! The only reason selling is that I purchased a new truck and GM changed the puck system requiring me to purchase a new Superglide Hitch.
SuperGlide is the only real solution to safely and efficiently regain that 90º turning capability. It's fully automatic, so there's no getting in and out of your truck to throw levers before and after turns like you have to do with other manual slide hitches. With 14" of slide during turns, the SuperGlide quickly moves your trailer away from your truck cab without you having to do a thing! No anticipation...just get in and drive!
And SuperGlide is easy to remove without the need for tools. By easily removing the 40 lb. hitch head that is held in place with a couple pins and clips, then the remaining base is relatively lightweight. In fact, it is the second lightest among sliding hitches on the market and is made from high quality American steel.
The mounting post assemblies are completely removable for easier removal and installation of the hitch. Simply unpin handles, rotate 1/4 turn outward and lift the hitch out of the bed. NO TOOLS NEEDED! Premium hardware, like the use of castle nuts, allow for finer adjustments of the OE puck handles for ease of installation and fit! This SuperGlide is adjustable front-to-back to center it over the axle.
A Capture Plate is a required component of the SuperGlide fifth wheel towing system. This plate is attached to your trailer's skid plate. When you're hooked up into your SuperGlide hitch and ready to tow, it isolates the rotation of your trailer's king pin in the hitch. Movement and rotation is then transferred to the automatic cam action of your SuperGlide hitch, moving it away from the cab along its rails to prevent the trailer from contacting the cab of your truck! Most applications slip over the king pin and are held in place by a set screw; quick install and removal for your convenience.
Note: The Capture Plate is not included in this purchase, but is relatively inexpensive to buy.
