I like it so much it is mounted in my F350 long bed dually where a slider is certainly not needed.

There's no doubt that the disadvantage of any slider, manual or auto is the weight, and maneuvering them around in the bed of your truck.
You might be surprised, though, at just how much the B&W Slider is compared to others.
- B&W lists the Slider as 287 lbs.
- Demco lists the 21K as 280ish lbs (couldn't find on their website, but elsewhere)
- PullRite lists the 2900 as 230 lbs.
All B&W hitches are built very stout for sure! The B&W non-slider is 206 lbs. !
