No hitch in the truck yet primarily because of dealing with having just moved... but i thought devices like the sidewinder replaced the pin box on the trailer and were therefore sized to the trailer, am i mistaken?
I wasn’t familiar with the “sidewinder”...... thought it was a hitch, not a pin-box replacement. If it’s a pin-box replacement... it will likely need to be trailer specific. Though you could stay with the conventional set-up ( using your hitch), then....once home get your trailer specific “sidewinder”. Just be “very” careful on tight turns!
Sorry! I’m old school.....conventional Reese Hitch in a long bed truck ( until 2 weeks ago), and the standard 5th wheel pin on trailer!
I guess that I wasn’t much help!
