• Can Reese Elite Sliding 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch be Used in a Long Bed Truck
• The Reese Elite Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch # RP30144 installs into an underbed rail kit that is custom to the specific truck. There are rail kits for the Elite that fit 8 foot beds but I'll need to know the year, make, and model of the truck to recommend the specific kit. Even though the sliding hitch you have is normally for short bed trucks it will be fine in a long bed. You likely won't need to engage the slider. The Reese Elite also fits directly into the Ford factory puck system....

• Will 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Short Bed Need Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch
• B&W offers both a sliding version, part # BWRVK3775 and a stationary version # BWRVK3710 of their excellent Companion 5th wheel hitch.

• Is A Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Needed For A 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 Long Bed?
• You will not need a sliding hitch like the B&W Companion # BWRVK3770 you currently have. A sliding hitch is needed on a short bed truck because of the positioning of where the hitch will be mounted, in relation to the cab of your truck and it being too close to each other. The slider would slide back when you make tight turns while towing your 5th wheel trailer, that way there will be no impact to your truck cab. If your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 has the OEM prep (pucks) package, you can use...

• Is Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Absolutely Necessary for 2022 Ram 2500 Short Bed Truck
• We typically will recommend sliding 5th wheel hitches for trucks with a bed shorter than 8 feet, unless your 5th wheel has dished-in front corners an the 5th wheel manufacturer specifically states that a sliding hitch isn't needed I'd strongly urge you to use a sliding hitch. Not having the proper clearance between the cab and front of the 5th wheel can cause extensive and costly damage to both the truck and the 5th wheel, so in the long run going with the sliding hitch is definitely the...

• Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2013 Ram 3500 Diesel Short Bed Towing Sandpiper 379
• 5th wheel towing is possible with short-bed trucks but it is certainly easier with a long bed. Short bed trucks will require either a sliding type hitch or a fixed hitch along with a Sidewinder replacement pin box on the trailer in order for you to have enough turning clearance to avoid trailer-to-cab contact. Long bed trucks avoid this issue completely; they can use standard fixed hitches and a new Sidewinder pin box is not required. You can refer to the linked articles for more on this. If...

• Is Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Necessary for 2022 GMC 2500 Short Bed Towing Montana 3741FK 5th Wheel
• I've checked out photos of your 5th wheel, and since the front corners of your 5th wheel aren't dished or concaved in, I'd recommend using a sliding hitch to prevent the 5th wheel from contacting your truck cab during turns. The Demco Hijacker Autoslide would be a great choice for you, which would eliminate the need to exit the vehicle to disengage the slider for low speed maneuvering. During turns, the hitch head will disengage and slide rearward to provide additional clearance to the...

• Which B&W Companion Hitch for 2016 Ford F-350 Long Bed
• The B&W BWRVK3405 is a replacement slider base, not a complete hitch. If you needed a replacement non-sliding base, you'd use part # BWRVB3500. You want to use a sliding hitch in a short bed truck to provide greater clearance between the cab and the front of the fifth wheel for low-speed turns, but a sliding hitch isn't necessary in a long bed truck because there's already plenty of clearance. If you needed the entire hitch, which includes the base and the hitch head, I'd recommend the...
