drawtite superglide

Anyone using a Draw Tite Superglide 16k hitch? I'm having one installed this week to tow my 2017 Crusader 315rst. Just looking to get some feedback on this hitch. From what I've read already on it it seems like a well built hitch.

Correction I misunderstood the technician I got Draw Tite Super 5th 16k hitch installed last night. I have a f-250 with 6 3/4 bed. I know the crusader has a tight turning cap and the technician said I shouldn't have a problem turning but what is the general consensus? Should I have bought a slider hitch?

Don't have a Crusader anymore, but my SOB has the same type of front cap. Have a manual slider hitch and was too stubborn to use it. You will get into situations where the slider will come in handy. Such as nose of truck uphill and making a tight turn backing can leave a dent in the back wall of the cab. Been there, done that, have the mark on my truck to prove it. If you're lucky, as I was, you realize it before you break out the back window. I'd recommend the slider.

well after leaving the dealership saturday and going to a campground for 1 night and having to back in the trailer it did just fine without a slider hitch. now was i nervous yes but taking everything nice and slow i was about to back into a spot in 2 tries. when we brought it home i had to back it into a pretty narrow place and did it in 1 try. the cap on this crusader is awesome. im sure i wont be able to turn 90 degrees but i can make it go where i want. a slider hitch would help but i dont think is 100% necessary. this is just from my experience pulling twice with my fifth wheel and im hoping i dont get into any hairy situations haha
