Re: sliding 5th wheel hitch
I have a short bed and sliding Curt hitch. I need to be on flat ground and straight for it to work the best. A quick short jerk with the gas pedal with the trailer brake on gets it moving. Good luck

Mike, I bought one of these a few years back for loading work stuff. Works great and folds nice and flat

Re: Tow Miles
We started tracking when we got the Cardinal and have 17,912 in three years with 50K on the truck which I use for work also. Hoping to increase the towing mileage and less for work

Re: Short Bed Without A Slider Hitch?
Don't think it is an extended pin, the pin is directly under the front of the cap.

Re: Short Bed Without A Slider Hitch?
We have a short bed with a slider hitch and I was backing without using the slider and have a nice dent on the driver side of the cap Any time I am backing close to a 90 degree I use the slider. Not a big deal once you get use to it

Catalytic Converter-Branson Rally

Re: Tire problems?
We had a Marathon fail on a trip and replaced it. The Marathon tread was nearly half gone on the remaining tires after about 12K miles. This year I replaced all 5 with Michelin XPS RIBS. On the way to the Memphis Rally we noticed that the bird was towing better and felt more stable. Pricy but we fee...

Re: After Market Fuel Tanks
I agree with Mike, my new tank will be for my convenience. 60 plus gallons of gas will get me through a day's drive.
Then set up and go get gas, not having to negotiate the pumps around cars with the bird:thumbrt:
