Auto slider Question

Hello, new guy here. Have a question regarding hitch for my new F250 crew cab short bed.
I am looking for an auto slider that is relatively light weight (for removal) and will not put me in a situation where I am the only one that can pull the trailer (like pull rite).

Truck will be used for much more than towing, I do not intend to leave the 5th wheel in the bed, and wife and 2 daughters will not be too helpful trying to lug 300 lbs of iron out of the bed.

I don't see the big deal with the Pullrite. Mine weighs less than 200# and I can remove 1 set screw and anyone can pull my 5er. I also use a engine hoist to remove hitch. Too dang old to lift heavy stuff now.
x2-In and out in five minutes with 50 dollar hoist in garage by myself.Drop it on a dolly and done..Pullrite plate is 4 set screws on fiver.Simple.

Take a look at the Hijacker auto slider , no capture plate to monkey with, never had to lube the rails,a very good easy to use set up, my 18k is 6 yrs old and trouble free.I use an engine hoist to take mine out .

You might want to look at the reese sidewinder setup. From what I understand, you can use a conventional fifth wheel hitch.
