There seems to be an assumption that getting a short bed TV automatically means you'll need a slider. I bought that argument on my first TV. I subsequently found that I almost never used the sliding feature. When I transferred the hitch to my next TV, also a short bed, the slider went on Craigslist, and I've never missed it.
I try to plan my maneuvering ahead, and find that I haven't needed to have my truck jackknifed around to where a slider is needed. Has anyone else had this experience!
.I had a slider in a short bed truck and opted not to use it ONE time and that was the time I put a dent near the top of my cab on the drivers side.
You can do all the "planning ahead" you want, but you never know when you may have to change your plans.
My philosophy is, "Better to have one and never need it, then to NOT have one...and need it.
But it's your truck, your 5er, your money, your call....pay very close attention to what you do, I did ALL the time, but once....and that one cost me....
