Auto slide hitch w/ B&W turnover?

[TAS1]

I'm in need of a lil assist. I currently tow with a Ram Megacab short bed and I dented my pass rear cab corner. My Toy Hauler is an 08 Fuzion.

I've been searching for a auto slide that'll work with my B&W. I've seen a few sliders that you have to get out to operate that will work and a few that ARE auto but, don't work with my B&W.

Pro's and con's of each?

Thanks for the help.

boshog - I'll watch for that, but was assured by Anderson Hitch that it's not enough of a change to unload the front. We'll see. The 9" difference is not all in the mounting point to the truck. 5" at the truck and 4" in the king pin block.

Cummins12V98 - my existing hitch is a Colibert Free Ride and has no rearward adjustability.

Question, why not just move the hitch back???

Careful with this choice, moving the pin weight behind the rear axle caused excessive chucking on the freeways driving 60 to 65 MPH. See if you can test this solution first. I ended up going with an auto-slide (Surperglide), like you, I banged my cab, not once but twice. Both times in tight maneuvers getting situated at a campground.

Never thought about a longer pin box. That'll keep me from having a hitch laying around unused.

Take a look at the reese sidewinder pin box. Keeps the weignt were it should be, and the pivot is towards the back some 20 inches or so.

No problem! The only thing I would be a little concerned about is the back of the pin box clearing the tailgate. Other than that the Andersen is a good choice.

looking into that now. Thanks for the input. Also looking into Anderson Ultimate. With it's 9" offset to the rear, that will clear me cab corner.

I would consider purchasing a Curt X5 adapter for your B&W and then get a Pulrite ISR Superglide. Problem solved.

Thanks,
