There seems to be an assumption that getting a short bed TV automatically means you'll need a slider. I bought that argument on my first TV. I subsequently found that I almost never used the sliding feature. When I transferred the hitch to my next TV, also a short bed, the slider went on Craigslist, and I've never missed it.
I try to plan my maneuvering ahead, and find that I haven't needed to have my truck jackknifed around to where a slider is needed. Has anyone else had this experience!
One thing to keep in mind is what brand of truck you use. Dodge has the shortest distance between rear axle and cab, while chevy has the most. Also where is the pin located in relation to the cap of your fiver. Is it 6'' behind the cap or 6'' in front... These variables mean the difference between a waste of money for a slider, or a broken window...
