I had several Ford short bed trucks. Ford was 6'9 while then others were 6'6. 3" made little difference. I bought a B&W slider. Only needed it 3 times for certain, used it 2 more questionable times. Not as heavy and less expensive than the autosliders. Far less temper mental than others, even my neighbor's Curt. I like it so much it is mounted in my F350 long bed dually where a slider is certainly not needed.
