Made a big leap yesterday and bought a 2014 Duramax! I'm real excited to get away from my 6.0 liter gas burner and start hauling with a more powerful motor. Old truck has a long bed on it and was never a problem with fiver hitting cab even on sharpest turns. I know already with a short bed, this can be a problem, but how big of a problem? My current hitch is a B&W turnover ball with the Companion hitch. How many out there haul with a similar rig and what is your current setup? Just looked at a video of a Sidewinder style king pin box, guess that's one option. Any and all comments welcome, thanks, Larry
My '02 D'max 4x4 (see sig) will =not= hit my very square-front FW turning either right or left at full lock, when going forward. ALL will hit when backing up; a slider gives you a bit more room before you DO hit. If you have any qualms, put your Companion on Craigslist and order a Companion Slider. Won't be =any= problem selling the old one; just don't short-change yourself, as they do bring a premium. Personally, when I get a new FW, I'll set it up with my '02 and see how it performs. If I feel I need a slider at that point, B&W will again be my choice.
