Sidewinder here. Had it when I pulled with a short bed 2005 Dodge. Now have a long bed (8') Ram and keeping the Sidewinder. I don't understand the problem with lineup mentioned earlier.

With the standard wedge hook-up could be a bear. There is also no more instability in towing than any other 5er. The Sidewinder does the job without concern.
