Slider hitch. Needed or not
Im looking for a Reese 5th wheel hitch and have found two used ones for sale. 1 is a slider and the other one isn't. Would I be better off with the slider? I have a 2005 F350 Dually with an 8' box. ...

FWIW, I used a regular (non-sliding) hitch in my short bed Dodge truck. As long as I was careful when turning sharply I was OK. I couldn't turn extremely sharp since I would risk hitting the truck's rear window. When turning sharply while backing into a space, I would keep a close eye on the fiver nose in relation to the rear window. I came close to touching at times but never actually hit the window. Just had to be careful and not rush things. Rushing gets a lot of folks in trouble, IMO.
Nice "Gee Whiz" - but Moot info for the OP with a long bed..:h
OP - you don't need a slider, no reason to have one..:W
