Does a Short Bed Truck Need a Slider if the Trailer has Max Turn Technology
Question:
My 5th wheel is a 2015 Couger Xlite with Max turn tenology.inch Can I tow it with my 2014 F150 with a 6 1/2foot bed without a slide hitch? Thank you very much.

Expert Reply:
From the research I did it looks like trailers that have the Max Turn Technology don't require that the truck towing them have a slider hitch if they are a short bed. So you could use a stationary hitch then.
For a hitch I would recommend the Reese 20k Hitch part # RP30081 that you referenced. This is a great hitch at a great price. Check out the review video for more info. For a rail kit I would recommend the semi-custom install kit # RP30035-426.
