The only time I'd put a slider in a long bed is if I already owned the slider and didn't want to spend money for a different hitch. The slider won't hurt anything, it's just not necessary.

We originally went shortbed because it fit in our garage. We had big shelving in the garage, reducing depth. We have stayed with shortbeds simply because they're much more maneuverable both in parking lots and on the backroads and 4x4 roads we like to explore. The auto slider works very well. To me, the choice between shortbed and longbed is a personal one that requires understanding how one plans to use the truck. Longbed is Padre's choice. Shortbed is ours. Both of us are correct.
