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. Also, I owned a Reese manual slider about 8 years ago with a past 5th and it was marginal at best. Very difficult to slide, sometimes had to take some weight off it to get it to slide, had to keep a rubber mallet handy to pound the safety latch pin in place, etc, etc.
All I know is for north of 2K (installed w/bed plug and whatnot) this thing better change my life :)
How did they mount it? I have mine on a Demco 6099 picture frame. Chris
My 2014 Ram has the single hole in the middle of the bed. There's also some bracket underneath that they use to mount to. I read somewhere about someone really having trouble with the picture frame mount. I can't remember the details but they were not happy with it.
Mine doesn't get installed until Friday so I don't much other than it only mounts to the truck through the single hole in the middle of the bed.
