But from everything I've read you should always use a slider on a short bed. We were trailer pullers before and this was never an issue. Advice would be appreciated as sales guys are interested in one thing "making the sale"
Your 6.6 foot bed is not a short bed its a standard bed. Short beds are a foot shorter usually and long beds are 8 foot.
I have a 2012 Ram 2500. I measure 6'6" from the back of the cab to the inside of the tailgate.
I just purchased a B&W Companion hitch ( non sliding ) and a 2014 Cougar 330rbk with max turn technology.
Backing into my driveway I had to turn past 90 degrees to get in.
So in my application I do not need a slider.
