Greg... no worries. I'm new to all of this so, of course, trying to do due diligence to learn as much as I can about all of the options. There is a lot to consider, if one is to fully understand the pros and cons of each option.
Thus,I'm taking my time to learn as much as I can and I haven't ruled anything out yet. :)
Still considering Andersen, BW, going to look more into Blue Ox's offering. Does Reese have a good slider option?
And does anyone know if the PullRite slider fits the RAM OEM factory pucks?
I'll answer this ,no the Superglide needs the adapter if you go the ISR series , or I believe they have whats called the super rails, but no direct fit.
Yes, Reese has a great slider offering, I also own one of those ,as said towed with it for 12 years. but they are monsters, you need hoists ,two people, disassemble whatever, but you don't remove them with one person in one piece.
My suggestion , you seem skeptical on other things. Get the direct fit B&W , super great hitch, no adapter , install one of those cheap HF hoists in your garage ,and be done .
We have the shortest of the three short beds . A manual slider under normal driving ,turning corners , in ,and out of truck stops, no extreme tight turn arounds , no problem.. Tight backing , tight turn arounds , remember you got a manual slider, you better use it, thats the biggest problem I see with a manual slider ,thinking you can get by not using it. You have to get out ,pull the handle , pull forward let it slide back, be gentle or it slams back ,make sure it locked in the rear position ,and then continue on .
