Spike,

There are sooooo many variables out there. The Chev has a shorter tailgate than the ford, the different hitch manufacturers are positioned differently, and even the pin box length on the same year/model Monty may differ as we have discovered. We have the short bed Ford, and we just picked up our new 3400 last week. I am almost ready to conclude we DON'T need the slider hitch (more tests to try out). The new nose design makes a big difference in how it attaches compared to our prior 2003 Montana.

At least for me, the requirement for the slider has always been kind of a handicap. There are a ton of nice air ride hitches out there, but few cater to the slide feature, and if they do, the costs are much higher.

Good luck in what you find out. You're pretty much going to have to hear it straight from somebody that has your truck and the new style Montana.
