Why would anyone "ditch" a perfectly good hitch, because they may think they do not need them any more? Even if I went with a long bed in the future I would bring my Superglide with me. As others have pointed out, when backing it moves the trailer back which makes backing easier. It is built very well, some complain about its weight, I find that as an advantage, as it appears to be almost indestructable. Just saying!!
Amen X2... The Superglide has been in my long box dually since 2008 when I switched trucks. There was no way I was going to downgrade to a lesser hitch,the Superglide gives the dually a steering advantage when backing into a site.
The sliding function is actually turning the trailer as you back in requiring less steering input. True... its heavy / extremely durable and made in the USA, been using the same Superglide since September of 2006... it does the job with ease.
As I have said before if I needed a auto slider hitch I would buy the Pullrite for sure. If a auto slide was not important it would be a B&W slider.
Bottom line slider hitches are not required like they once were. I never thought about the advantage of putting the pivot point well behind axle canter! But that is only ONE advantage.
