So I have a parking issue at home. All I want is to push the nose sideways a few feet, but it's just not possible with the truck, and still unhitch.I looked up trailer valet devices and they all seem to be ball hitch only. There is one that looks like a lunar rover that claims 3-5k lbs but it's expensive and still not really a 5er device.Has anyone built any sled or dolly? I don't have to go far, or often, but it sure would be nice.

Any quality manual slider or better yet the Andersen hitch would solve the issue. Most likely your cheapest option. Andersen works very well with my Ram short bed , and I have a very sharp back into my driveway .

I hear you, but I like the back of my cab too much. For us the auto slider is best.

Maybe the trailer valet combined with the Andersen pin to ball adaptor alone would solve your problem.

Are you on pavement? Back close, set the legs on car dollies, then use a bar to lever it where you want it. Be sure the chocks are close to be sure it doesn't go to far.

Just remember, wherever you put it, you'll have to get it back to hook up again.
