I also have a crew cab with a manual slider. I tried to use it once. I dont know if its designed this way, but it will NOT engage to slide if its supporting weight.

Or.. you can let your wife back up, because she knows how to back up better than you do, and you end up with a nice rounded dent on each side of the cab of the truck, and then never have to worry about jack knifing again.
What kind of hitch is this? Never knew one made that you couldn't slide with the 5er hitched to it.
