I dented my cab from a sharp turn in a brand new short bed truck this weekend. Too little to late but what do you think of the SuperGlide hitch? Do they really slide automatically. I don't mind spending the money if they really work and are good quality. Do the jaws work easily also? Thanks for any advice.

Just wondering...could the damage have been avoided by pulling up a little to reduce the angle? or did you find yourself in a spot that you got trapped in?

Trying to understand, this is from a fellow RV'r using a SB with no slider. I can crank my truck pretty good before it gets close...but wonder how this happens. distraction or really bad turn?

Thanks,

I too am curious about what brought about hitting the cab. I too have a manual slider ,but have never had to use it on two different trucks, but same fifth wheel. I do use it to back into my RV pad on the side of my house . Its a tight fit , and I want the little bit more turning radius.

As far as automatic slider goes the Superglide is a good choice, but if I was going to change hitches I would go to a Andersen Ultimate Hitch, they have an offset that does not require a slider. Some research on them will tell you how they work. Also a lot cheaper alternative then a Superglide, nearly half the cost.

I am in the process of selling my slider hitch, picture frame adapter, getting rid of all that weight ,and going to a Andersen . I am at a point where I don't want to deal with these big heavy conventional hitches. Do yourself a favor and at least research them.

You will get some positive reviews from the ones that have the Andersen on this forum, they seem to love them. You will also get some negative responses from some on here that have never owned or towed with a Andersen.
