Never, ever heard of any hitch mfgr that even hinted at driving with the hitch in the "slid" position!..

Which is worst 865 ft lbs of torque and firm Aisin shifts trying to rip it to the back or balanced brakes slowing everything down?
On my RVK3270, the same dogs that hold in forward, toggle and hold it back. I think it is more of a where is the weight, in the front position the weight is between the bed rail pins, where when in the rear position the weight is on the rear rail or behind it. Also B&W expressed a concern about hitting the tail gate. Mine is in the garage at home so that is not an issue. Chris
I think a hard brake would exert more force than accelerating, and I also think a trailer smashing into an occupied cab is a lot bigger deal than smashing one into a tailgate.
Hmmmm - maybe I should re-phrase my post (as quoted above):
"Me Again" (or?):
....Is there any manual slider hitch
mfgr that states the operator may tow "full time" with the hitch in the rear position?
While it may work OK - might be some serious safety & liability issues...:R
