Most guys I speak to outside this forum say I dont need a slider with the new 5th wheel front cap designs and extended Pin boxes. I would sure like to save the weight and the money and just buy the conventional companion. Decisions Decisions! If I elect a slider I will go with the Pullrite. If no slider, then the companion.
My FW has a very square front and I have a crew cab SWB 4x4 D'max. I can NOT hit my cab going forward, in either direction. ALL will hit when backing up, just a bit sooner without a slider. Frankly, in talking to FW owners over the past 10 years, most have said that if they needed a slider, they were in a situation that they shouldn't have got into in the first place. Sorta like what some people say about 4wd. :-) I have a gooseneck trailer, so have the Turnover Ball and Companion FW Hitch. Love both and the company is great to deal with.
