Will I need a sliding hitch or not? I need to be able to remove the hitch when not in use. The only automatic sliding hitch I found is the Pullrite and it looks like it would be to big for me to remove.

I am using a manual Reese 16K slider hitch in a 2500HD 2008,Ram Mega Cab. This has a 6".5" bed and I have never hit the cab when towing in the city or on highways in the towed position. The only time I need to use the maneuver position is backing up into my drive way or in campgrounds.
The Pullrite is nice but is not required, you can get by with a manual slider hitch.
I take my hitch in and out all of the time takes about 15 min's total time to do. I take it out in two pieces the capture plate comes out first and then the slider portion and bed saver next a total of 6 pins to remove, the bed rails stay in.
