Is this really the only 5th wheel hitch option?

[bdepaauw]

Hi,

My wife and I are getting our first RV on Thursday and are supper excited! However, today we went to look for a hitch and the sales person said the only option for my 5 1/2 foot bed (2013 Ford F-150) is the Pullrite 12K Superglide 3100, coming in at $2200.

According to him my only option was this one. No manual hitches would work and no other auto sliders would slide far enough.

Is this true?

My Dealer said I had to sign a waiver to exclude them from liability if I opted not to have a slider and that's a decent price.

You will definitely need a slider. My box is 6.5' and I need one and you are 12" shorter.

Manual sliders slide back 12". The Pullrite 3100 automatically slides back 22" and is specifically designed for real short boxes. You will need as much as you can get.

I neglected to slide my manual hitch and tapped my cab. $350 repair.

I just sold my Reese manual slider and bought a Pullrite Superglide 2700.

Which 5th wheel is it?

what a load of **** that is.

first question is, do you know that you will actually need a slider ?

I was very happy with my HiJacker ($650 CDN installed) and a sidewinder pinbox on my old 6 liter GMC.

My 3500 has a stumpy box and I dont need a slider or a sidewinder pin box (although I may buy another sidewinder as I liked not having to worry if I was backup up a slope and around a corner)
