They were optional when we ordered our late 2010 Rockwood 8280WS...I believe they made the Revolution pin box standard some time in 2011.

It is a Reese pro.
I've not had an issue with it.
Every fall when I remove it I lube it and cycle it.
I remove it several times throughout the summer with no issues reinstalling.

When I got my Sierra.....the dealer strongly suggested a slider and not because he sold them.

So I did.

I have the PullRite SuperGlide 16K and it is 230 lbs with a RAM bed pin adapter. The PullRite is automatic and moves as you turn.....and does not require you to flip a lever or manually initiate.

As an aside, the RAM dealer where I got my truck says he gets a lot of short bed truck trade ins with 5th wheel damage to the rear of the cab.
