Bought this hitch because I tow with a GMC 2500 with a short bed (6' 6"). It works perfectly. No worries about the camper hitting the back of the cab. Also smooth and quiet.
This hitch slams the 5th wheel into the back of my truck. The only way to stop it from gliding is to completely lock the hitch so it does not glide. I called Dyers and wrote a poor review and they said someone would contact me but I have not received anything. I spent over a grand for this hitch and not impressed at all.
I had a 2005 model hitch - 15K rating previously. This hitch is rated 16K, but the frame seems a bit less than the old one. regardless, it has preformed flawlessly, but haven't really driven more than 20 miles.
The hitch dropped right in to the old mounts in the truck. My old hitch had 93,000 miles on it and was worn out. It made 'clunking' noises when starting up. The new hitch is quiet as a mouse and smooth on turns.
And of course the 'slider' feature which I take for granted is great.
The shipping was fast only a couple of days. Installation was painless. Although its heavy managed to install it by my self in a short time. Works as stated very happy.
Towing with a 2011 F250 shortbed, I felt that this was the only way to go. Forgetting to slide a manual slider or risk hitting my cab with a stationary hitch were both issues I didn't want to deal with. I was expecting a lot of bumping, chucking and other hitch noise, but was pleasantly surprised that there wasn't much. After I left the dealer, I pulled into an empty parking lot and easily negotiated a 90+ degree turn. Very happy.
Great product and great service from Dyers. Fast delivery exceeded my expectations.

The hitch was damage in shipping and Dryers got right on it . On A Friday and by Tuesday had it picked up and by Friday had the new one.great service from Dyers
If you have a short bed truck and have or about to aquire a 5th wheel unit. this is the best all around 5th out there, and Dyers is the place to buy it from.
This hitch works like a champ. I love the way it turns and moves as the trailer and truck turn. Two drawbacks though. The weight of the hitch does make it a little cumbersome for one person to lift. The other is that you can only couple and uncouple up to 16 degrees from straight hookup. Other then that, a very good deal.
