Thinking of trading the '03 GMC 3500 for a 2014 GMC 2500 standard bed (6 1/2 ft.) Will my 16K fixed hitch work with the '05 Cougar 309EFS or would this setup require a slider?

I can NOT hit my trailer, which is very square-fronted, with my '02 D'max and Companion hitch, going forward. It is 4wd, so I =ass=ume that it doesn't turn quite as sharp as a 2wd, but I'm good with my setup. ALL will hit in reverse, just some sooner than others. I =have= taken out my back glass trying to back into a site, so I know my limits and always use spotters when in a tight space.

I followed this advice from someone else. I have the old style nose. Never have been
in a situation where I had to use the slider backing up. However I have a nice little crease from turning in our cul-de-sac. Somelse also said you couldn't hit going forward. Guess what? WRONG!!!!!
Get a slider, but use it if things get tight. Good luck, John
