used a husky slider for the past 12 years - last year I was cutting it tight coming out of a waste dump but had room so didn't slide the hitch - heavey rain the night before and the edge of the pavement gave way making the 5er hit the truck - $1000 to repair it - so just got new truck and installed the pullrite auto slider - first pull was 2 days ago and I am in love. it is all up to the person to decide if spending the little extra now is worth the convenience and peace of mind. after that $1K - I know it is in my case
