A brother to the Companion, the Companion Slider uses the same great coupler but with a slider designed to give you 12 inches of extra room for maneuvering. Like every hitch in our Companion series, it offers a jerk-free ride and easy hook-up and removal for a level bed?all without sacrificing sturdiness, reliability, or towing power. Plus, you have the option to tow a fifth wheel or gooseneck hitch with the same system. - Can be removed for a clean bed with no rails. No mounting rails means using your truck for more than towing - 12" of movement, for turning and maneuvering clearance in shortbed trucks - Tight tolerances in sliding mechanism, moves smoothly without the rattle
