You know, its kinda like a 4-wheel drive. Its better to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it. I too have a short bed and a slider. I have used it one time and that's it.

I share your thoughts. I actually own the Signature Series hitch in both slider, and non slide version.

To the OP you can shop for new Signature Series for less money than the Elite Series, then use the Elite Series feet for the pucks. My sliding hitch was a little over 1K new, fixed was $750, don't be fooled by marketing names, there is no difference in these hitches. These are very nice hitches though.
