While it is true that you can tow with any pickup truck, you may need some extra equipment to pull a fifth wheel trailer with it. Why you ask? Well, aside from the size and pulling capacity of each truck, pickups also come with varying bed sizes, which can make turning and maneuvering a bit of a challenge for those with a shorter bed. Reese sliders works by moving ? or sliding - your fifth wheel hitch toward the rear of your truck, so the pin position is moved temporarily behind the rear axle, to provide more room for tighter maneuvering at low speeds. Without a slider, the front ? or nose ? of your trailer could hit and potentially damage your truck cab when you are trying to turn. Therefore, a slider is recommended for any short-bed pickup, so you can enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
