    That is actually pretty awesome. I can see slides being a option on trucks in the future from the factory.

    I can see them putting a safety switch in so you can't release the brake till it's slid back in. Or something keeping the truck from moving.

    It looks nice, but I can see the expensive repair bills and the sticker shock. I cannot imagine how much weight that is going to add to the truck either.

    if you watched / listened to the VIDEO , he said it was interlocked with the parking brake ,brake must be on before it slides to expanded position release the brake and the slider returns to the normal travel position

    If you watch the video you will see there already is a safety switch. Hit the air brake and it all closes up

    Ya I didn't listen to it the first time. And it only adds around 400 lbs.
