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...

A lot also depends on the 5th wheel. The smaller or mid-profile 5th wheels are generally no problem with the newer trucks. Full-size ones could have problems although as time moves on the manufacturers are making the caps with short bed trucks in mind.
I have a mid-profile with a SB truck and have never needed to slide back during some pretty hairy camping. But I do need to slide back every time I come/go to my steep driveway to keep my 5th from hitting the back corners of my truck.
My main complaint with the slider is the weight.... both against payload and moving the thing in/out of the truck.
