Had a slider in my last, short-bed truck and never used it.
I had an extended cab, short bed Chevy pick up (01'), and hit the left top side of my cab and put a dent in it making a sharp curve....
I know on my 5'r with the relieved corners, even with my SuperGlide, I have had situations where the front corners have come real (within 4 inches) close. I will say however, that since I have the SuperGlide I really don't worry about it. But when in a sharp backing turn or a tight u-turn, I do notice how close the front corners come. I really think if I had to do it over again, I would buy the SuperGlide.
I have used this same hitch on 3 different trucks. The Sidewinder will perform the same benefit. And it works fine. But chances are when you replace your trailer, you'll need a new Sidewinder. When all costs are considered the Sidewinder may not be all that much (if any) cheaper.
All that being said, I would rather have the SuperGlide than a Sidewinder. And a Sidewinder rather than a manual slider. And a manual slider rather than no slider.
