B&W Companion Slider

Looking at the B&W Companion Slider. Anyone have any info they can give on this?
I've been debating between that and the Pullrite Superglide 18k autoslider

I don't currently have any mounting system I'm my truck so that doesn't come into play. Thanks for any info.

Which truck do you have? I had Demco 18K auto slider and Demo adaptor frame in my 2015 Ram 2500 shortbed, and it was great the couple times I used it... Sold the setup after I traded that truck in. It got good reviews and was nice since it was an auto slide, (no pins or locks to unlock for the slide to operate.

I have a B&W companion for my 3500 which will lock directly into the factory pucks, once I install them.

I've read that it was quite high but I hadn't seen where it specified the height. Worried it would be too high for a tonneau cover to go over it.

Could you tell me what the height is being and if you have it sitting on the Clean Bed Rail system.

I originally had the Pullrite and loved the automatic slide feature. Over time though, it became somewhat of a pain having to be damn near dead on to pick and drop the trailer. Another thing that I didn't like was the fact the at the Pullrite height is not adjustable. I sold it and bought the B&W patriot slider. Love it. That being said, I've had it a year now and have never used the slider feature with a 6.5 box.

Yeah, part of my dilemma is the height. Pullrite emailed me back and said that it's 19.5" high. I wanted to make sure it wasn't too high because I want to have the flexibility to get the tonneau cover I want without worrying if it will contact the hitch.

I really want a clean bed system. How high does the patriot Slider sit

I have a 15' Duramax 2500 and the Pullrite fit under the tonneau. The Patriot is adjustable from 17-19, so it's already lower than the Pullrite. At 19.5, my front end was pretty high and I couldn't adjust the Pullrite. My B&W is set at 18 inches which gives me 6 inches bed clearance and lowered the front 1.5 and raised the back 1.5 and now she runs pretty level. On my next truck, I'll get one with the factory pucks and I honestly don't think I'll get a slider. It'll be a B&W, just no slider.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. You've helped a lot.

I have an older Pullrite and it fits under the tonneau easily. Not sure about the newer ones since they're a totally different design. Been very happy with it all along.
