Pulled the trigger on a Pullrite Superlite 2600. The hitch is the single point mount and I’m also using a Pullrite goose ball which is an excellent design.
So far I’ve only had occasion to get the camper out of storage but I can tell I’m going to love this hitch. There is no chucking whatsoever and backing is easier than with my old auto slider. With my short bed I was concerned about turning clearance but it doesn’t appear that that will be a problem. My pin box will hit the box sides before the trailer can hit the cab. And I can get close to 90 degrees.
I love hearing this news. I’ve got an order in on a Grand Design 28bh and I’m thinking of pulling the trigger on a Pullrite 2600. Was batting around an Andersen or B&W RVK3300 too.
The slider manufacturers seem to have scared everyone about hitting the cab with the front of their fiver. While, yes, it can be done with any hitch and the wrong terrain, its not something you want to do. Jack your TV and RV around to the max angle you can get without hitting the cab or bed rails then get out and look at your RV wheels. When you see one wheel tilted one way and the other the opposite way you'll be more careful in the future - unless you like replacing springs and spring hangars. Problem solved.
FWIW, I pull a GD 337 37' fiver with a '17 F350 CCSB and Anderson hitch and have plenty of cab clearance. The only problem I've had was the bed rail height and F250 blocks solved that. 6 inches of bed rail clearance is not enough and sooner or later you'll get divots in the plastic rail covers.
The Pullrite doesn't use the pucks? Just the gooseball?
The 2400 model is a 4 point rail mount. You can use adapters to mount to the pucks. I went with the single point mount because of the additional rear offset you can achieve.
Great, it look good and I did the same on the same hitch it is so much lighter than my B&W hitch and it does well I can get about 80% or 85% backing radius, it's more than I will want to go, I can always back my 5th wheel at an different angle until I get it back in a spot. As you can see I will never turn this tight in a spot but this does give me confidence that I'm good to go, now I know that this is flat and on a slight hill I might not be able to turn this tight but on average I think that I will be okay. We really don't go to no State Parks we normally go to the military base and RV Resorts that give you a little more room to work with. Now I decided that I wanted to use chains on my setup in our state it's not required but if I'm ever go to other states I will have them in place, it don't hurt to have them it just one more little step more.

Yep, because of the offset, and with this setup I can bring it back abut 8" to 9" more which will give me more clearance back.

Had the Andersen on my last truck and loved it. Never a single problem and if it fits your needs its a great hitch. I have the B&W Patriot on this truck because the Andersen (or any other single point hitch like the companion, pullrite) will work not with the pinbox that came on my 5th wheel. So I needed a 4 point mount system. I would take the Andersen over the pullrite because being upside down accomplishes nothing other then forces you to lube the ball before every single trip. Last thing I need is another step added to every trip to and from the campground.

I will use graphite paint which may only need a touch up once a year or so. I used it on the rails of the superglide hitch and it worked very well.

You have two pieces of steel being ground together with 2000 pounds of down force and a yearly coat of paint is all the lube it needs. Must be some amazing paint.

It's a graphite coating that's been around forever. Nothing mystical about it. Alternatively the manufacturer recommends a squirt of WD-40 which would take all of 1 second, but that's too difficult for some folks, so they buy other hitches and then troll threads on the internet.
