I just left the dealer and went for the B/W Companion 18K Slider for my new 5th - Truck is a 2014 Ram 2500 CC 4X4 with 6.5' bed.
I could have had the Reese for close to 1K less but just couldn't see saving that money given all the great B/W reviews online.

All I know is for north of 2K (installed w/bed plug and whatnot) this thing better change my life :)
