Can I pull other fth wheel trailers with my SuperGlide hitch?
Your SuperGlide hitch can only pull trailers equipped with the SuperGlide trailer plate. If you hook up to a trailer that does
not have a trailer plate installed, there is nothing keeping the hitch in the forward towing position and the weight of the
trailer will cause the head to turn and slam or “free fall” to the rear which can cause damage to the hitch, truck, and the
king pin. We do not recommend locking the hitch in any way to keep it in the forward position.
Will a standard hitch be able to tow my trailer with the trailer plate installed?
The trailer plate will need to be removed from the pin box before a standard fth wheel hitch can tow your trailer. If the
plate is not removed, the king pin will not rotate in the hitch and damage will result to the trailer plate and conventional
hitch. Part # 3336 is a conversion adapter (see pg. i) that will allow a standard fth wheel hitch to tow your trailer with the
trailer plate installed. The adapter is used in conjunction with the fth wheel plate, or “head” of the SuperGlide {A}.
Are there plugs available to ll the holes drilled into my truck bed? (SuperRail)
No. However, customers have reported that the Ford Motor Company’s plug for the hitch ball will t in the 1-3/4” holes.

Can I put a bed liner in my truck after the hitch is installed?
SuperRail installation: It is actually better to install a spray in bed liner after the hitch is installed. This will allow the holes
that were drilled to be covered. A plastic bed liner, or bed mat can be put in after the hitch is installed but you will have to
match up the holes in the bed to the bed liner and cut the holes accordingly. Longer mounting posts may be required and
can be ordered through your dealer or direct.
How much does my SuperGlide weigh?
4100-180#, 4400-215#. The rails, posts, brackets, etc. can range from 50lbs. to 85 lbs.
Can I leave the hitch attached to my trailer and use the trailer jacks to lift the hitch out of the truck?
Yes, you can use the trailer jacks to lift the hitch out of the truck. The hitch should not however be left hanging from the
king pin. Once you have the hitch lifted out of the truck you should have a stand available to lower the hitch onto for
storage.
Can I hook up or unhook at a 90 degree angle?
Hooking up can only be accomplished when the truck and trailer are aligned within 16 degrees of each other. See pages
6-7 for more information on hooking up. Unhooking by pulling the release handle can only be accomplished when the
truck and trailer are aligned within 16 degrees of each other. In emergency situations you can pull the clevis pins and
clips that attach the fth wheel plate or “head” assembly to the rocker arm, lower your landing gear and raise the trailer up
until the fth wheel plate is free from the rocker arm. Pull forward from under the parked trailer. At that point you can pull
the release handle, remove the head from the king pin and reattach it to your hitch with the clevis pins and clips.
