Slider hitch necessity?
My truck is not a long bed and wondered if I should sale my 20k Reese hitch and get a slider?

I have a short bed, non slider and a standard front end 5er. Never needed a slider. When you are backing, you will get to an angle where you are just pivoting the trailer. This will happen well before 90 degrees. Go into a parking lot and see what it takes to get your cab in danger of touching the trailer... I think you'll be surprised at how far you can go, and how much you'll never need to get the rig to 90 degrees.
This has been my experience, no need to twist your FW sideways. It is just a matter of pulling forward a little to decrease the angle, before continuing to back.
