Limitations on Use

The SuperGlide hitch for short box trucks is optimally designed for trailers with a King Pin located even with, or ahead of the leading edge of the trailer (measured at the corners of the trailer).

There are many variables that can influence the ability to make a full 90° turn; including the trailer width, trailer profile, radius corners & truck cab profile.  In many cases, even if the king pin is located under the trailer, behind the leading edge of the trailer, the SuperGlide may allow 90° turns - but NOT IN EVERY CASE.

If your trailer king pin is behind the trailers leading edge, we recommend you contact our Customer Service Department with the following measurements; 

a) center of king pin to nose of trailer (see A in figure SG1 below)

b) trailer width

c) make and model of truck

Ford F-150 SuperCrew customers will also need to measure from back of the king pin extension to center of the king pin (see B in figure SG1 below).

We will help confirm the applicability of the SuperGlide for you - before you buy. 

The trailer used for photos of the Ford F150 Super Crew & 12K SuperGlide was a 98" wide Cardinal  by Forest River.  The center of the king pin extended about 4" beyond the leading edge of the trailer.

We extend many thanks to Forest River for their assistance.
