Lodar remote, winch only or winch, slide & tilt?

That is the question, I'm sold on the winch remote for the new rollback, any good reason other than WOW factor for the slide & tilt to be remote? What situations would the tilt & slide function be helpful/safer, easier in an awkward load or recovery?

Loading motorcycles (no dolly needed).
General safety on the interstate (maybe not so important on your island)
Speed (you can walk or talk and extend your bed at the same time)
"Cheat" loading of cars (drive on, flatten bed while foot on brake)

It's totally worth the extra investment for the added functions.

P.S. Consider a Mobile Control System's set-up, much easier install (I have both brands). Uzek. call me if you want details (or a quote, I am a dealer for them).

When it raining out you can have the bed on the ground before you leave the truck
