slider hitch
How many people that have a slider hitch have used it and how often? Short bed trucks. I hear trailers are made so you don't need it but just wondering who has used and under what circumstances? Tho...

14 years w/o a slider, then 10 years with a manual slider that I never used (now sitting in my garage), currently 2 years w/o a slider. Now my hitch is again removable in two light weight pieces. Generally, the "need" for a slider can be avoided by a little extra jockeying back and forth.
Your analogy works great until it doesn't, and of course it only takes once. That extra jockeying back, and forth can work, but there sure are better ways. I would recommend an automatic sliding hitch to anyone with a short bed truck especially IF they are starting from scratch . Takes all the jockeying back ,and forth , and the possibility of knocking out a rear window, or denting the cab.
Sorry, but it is not an analogy. Yeah, I started before even manual sliders were an option. But that meant I focused on the task rather than just throwing the truck in reverse. It has worked fine for 26 yrs. Now when I get older I may need the help of a slider or just stop towing completely.
