I have a few questions about these two products.

PULLRITE SUPERGLIDE:
<ul type="square">[*]Can the little piece that attaches to the trailer by the kingpin be easily removed if the trailer were to be pulled by another vehicle w/o the Pullrite?
[*]Can you pull any other trailer not equipped with the little mechanism with a Pullrite hitch?
[*]On the Pullrite website, it is stated that the big 24K hitch works when reversing. Is this not the case for the 16K?
[*]is there much maintenance or wear associated with the sliding mechanism?
[*]is the kingpin clamping system on this hitch a good design?
[*]any other pros/cons with this hitch?
[*]HITCH [/list]

POPUP HITCH EXTENDER:
<ul type="square">[*]has anyone used these things?
[*]do you think they will damage the trailer or pinbox because of the extra 'leverage' they place on the trailer?
[*]any other opinions?
[*]EXTENDER[/list]

Hmm, only things I know about a superglide is that
a) I don't have one
b) I want one
and c) I can't afford one

That extender looks pretty cool. In theory, that should reduce the pin weight by a touch. Maybe only by a little, which is then added back by installing that big hunk of metal, making it an effective wash... but in theory...
