I have 2011 dodge dually hooked up to 04 Montana. The hitch is a 16k reese slider. Its noisy as hell but works good. Just make noise starting and stopping. If i did it over most of folks that i have talked on this site said B&W is better. Probably go that route. Anyway, prior to the dodge had an 04 f350 crew short bed and blew out rear electric slider on uneven ground because i thought i did not need to slide hitch. Expensive window for the insurance company. Any way i would advise you to go with the auto hitch. And at very least if you go manual slide; slide it back every time even if you don't think you need it. Keeps rollers on hitch moving and is just the safe thing to so.
