Thinking of trading the '03 GMC 3500 for a 2014 GMC 2500 standard bed (6 1/2 ft.) Will my 16K fixed hitch work with the '05 Cougar 309EFS or would this setup require a slider?
I have a 2009 d/a gmc 2500 with 6.5 bed. I pull a 34ft full profile 5th Wheel with an extended hitch box. Just completed an 8000 mi trip, never once did I feel I needed a slider for my Reese R-16 hitch. In my opinion, that is just something else you have to haul around taking up precious space in your bed. That being said, I cannot turn 90dgs, however, I never had to turn that sharp anyway. You should be OK without the slider.
