Gonna go with the Superglide auto slider
I hope you did your homework on the Superglide, and the limitations on hitching ,unhitching . Had a friend grow tired of it after couple years ,and got rid of it ,that and the weight to deal with. Hopefully you are aware of all this, they are not cheap .
Yes, more to consider than just that it auto slides. Is there a chance, with your model truck, that it could cause the pin box to hit the tailgate, when sliding. I do consider this to be a quality hitch, that works well for many.

Yes, very good chance it could hit, it was a concern. I had the same concern when I pulled my Reese slider back when backing into my driveway, but it cleared . If I remember the Superglide went further back then my Reese manual slider . I had the luxury of checking it out gradual ,not sure you have that with the Superglide , once it starts back I think it goes to until it stops at the end of its travel . A little late in the game at that point .
Early on I considered a Superglide, but definitely not after the trouble I saw with my friends Superglide . Reason I considered it was just not having to deal with that manual slider . I think that is one of the biggest reasons why so many cabs ,and back windows get damage is thinking they can get away from having to use a manual slider , I know I hated dealing with it.
I think Pullrite makes quality products, but IMO the Superglide just has too much baggage with it. .
I solved the clearance problems with a short bed truck ,having the rounded corners on a fifth wheel front cap ,its a game changer . ,and definitely the Andersen hitch .
