Hey y’all. Picked up a 5th wheel through my grandparents last week. It’s designated for the 1/2 ton trucks. But I have a 1500 Silverado crew cab with the 5.5 or so bed. I’ve been looking at new slider hitches but have recently came upon the concept of sidewinder combo where the turret spins. Anyone have any experience with this? Looking for pros/cons on the Automatic slider- Manual slider - kingpin concept. Thanks guys!
Depending on your pin box, front of the fifth wheel the way they are sculpted on the corners, an Andersen hitch may just fit the bill, and a lot less weight . It would be worth taking a look
I eliminated the slider hitch going to the Andersen, my bed is actually only 11 inches longer on my 3500 Ram if you are 5'-5" . If not mistaken Andersen advertises using their hitch with the 1/2 ton trucks .
