Short Beds w/out Sliding Hitch
Just curious how many people don't have a sliding hitch with their shortbeds? I never used it on my old truck, and I'm trying to decide to buy another (spending more) for my HD that's on order or jus...

Depends on the truck brand. GM has the longest C/A (cab to axle) dimension than the Ram or Ford. My son had a '02 2500 chevy short bed....then a '15 2500 chevy short bed and now a '18 2500 chevy short bed with two different 5th wheel trailers and has no need for a sliding hitch.
And as others with short bed trucks said the newer 5ers may have the rounded/notched front corners eliminating the need for a sliding hitch.
Another player is hitch location. You get the max distance by placing the hitch with the pin zero over the trucks rear axle.
