    Yep - A16 slider. Works great, and easy to hook up. Mine is an above bed system, as my truck was not prepped with the puck system. The next one will be.

    Yep, love it. Pulling our 295RL but maybe switching to a 337 soon. By the way, a great bonus is that the hitch breaks into two pieces very easily and is then easy to take in and out by yourself!
    Note FYI; two grease zerks on this hitch and can only be serviced with the jaws closed.

    Yeah - I have not had to grease yet. On a positive note - the two piece design is great, and easy to do. However - I did make an overhead system in the garage with which to lift the whole hitch out, then transfer to a dolly system I made. I can then move it anywhere in the garage I want to.

    Also using a curt slider. Above cited pluses make it an easy use and own .

    We have the Curt 16K hitch, no slider. For some reason it is a pain disconnecting from the trailer sometime.
    Ay one else have this problem. Ed

    Same hitch, no problems. Maybe it needs some maintenance or adjustment?

    Am I the only one who has left the hitch attached to the 5W, pulled the pins, raised the jacks and pulled away only to reverse the process months later? Yeah, you have to line up pretty close but it's not that hard to do. If all is designed for 16k or whatever, what's a couple of hundred pounds hanging off the front?
    I hope my ME degree did not fail me on this, lol

    Never done that. Don't need to. Although room can get cramped in the garage sometimes, I can usually find a place to move the hitch to. It's much easier with a winch to just lift the whole thing out.

    Yeah, but the 5W is basically a winch for those who don't happen to have one in their garage, i.e. most folks...just sayin'

    True. A friend and I were talking over the 4th. He said his dad did something similar, but he said that whatever hitch he had was designed for that purpose. I actually think he was doing exactly as you are.
