Would a Slider Hitch Allow Clearance For Truck Bed Tool Box Around Corners
Question:
Hello I bought a tool box for my long bed and now I dont have enough turning radius or before my tool box is hit by my trailer. Its a long bed. Could I just get a slider hitch. Thank you

A slider hitch would be a solution to allow your trailer to have the needed clearance to fit around your tool box.
If I were in the market for a slider hitch I would easily pick the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550034. This hitch will automatically slide back as you make tight turns to allow you the turning clearance you need.
This hitch will slide back 14 inches so you might measure to make sure that would be enough clearance.
