Thumbs up Hijacker 16K Ultra Slide installed today!!

What an awesome piece of equipment! Super easy to use, looks great and I can't wait to hook up the 5vr and try it out. Very stout and for those who have follwed my post's on trying to decide which hitch to go with, I am glad I made the decision to go with Hijacker. I looked real close at Pullrite, quality unit and fully automatic slider.....but, overpriced IMHO, that was not the reason I decided against it. The reason I decided against it was, due to the fact that you have to have a special adapter plate attached to your kingpin, which means, only your truck could tow your 5ver and if you had to tow someone else's 5vr you could not, as the Pullrite hitch has to mate upto the Pullrite adapter plate. No thanks, too much hassle and worry if your truck breaks down and your 5vr needs to pulled or if your buddy's truck breaks down and you have to pull his 5vr.

Glad I went with a "conventional" type hitch and glad I chose a Hijacker, from our friends to the the North - Eh, Quality, good looks and simple to use. For those who have not yet checked out their "Ultra Slide" line, WOW, quite an improvement over the regular slide hitch.
