I have the Husky 24k and am very happy. I haven't had to use it more than a couple of times and have put the trailer into some pretty tight spots without using the slide, just have to pay attention.

And the answer is a question:
Do you ever have CRS and or are you forgetful?
If yes, spend the money now instead of later. Later will cost more!
Just my opinion for what is worth and it isn't much ........especially with the value of the US Dollar.

We have the 16k Reese and the only time we have an issue with it is when on an incline, find it difficult to unlock so it will slide. We are considering upgrading to the Superglide. Depends I think somewhat on how much you will travel and need to use it. We need a gliding hitch just to park our fifth in our spot at home and sure has been handy in tight campsites.
