I'm a complete noob as far as 5th wheels, and their hitch hardware. I have learned about the Reese Sidewinder here from you guys.
I did a little googling and found that there is such a thing as flush mount bed rails. Looks like Reese makes a thing that mounts in flush holes. I like that idea.

Anybody know if the Sidewinder can be adapted to this type of mount?

Yup. The sidewinder goes in any standard 5th wheel hitch. The rail system you pointed out is very nice, just one extra step in putting in the hitch but you keep your bed space.
Seems pricey though.
Under bed rails : $480
Over bed box: $359
Sidewinder: $1000ish.
5th hitch: $300-$600
$2500ish and 350lbs.

It is 4WD the decals are just custom blackout versions. For some strange reason the 4WD never crossed my mind. Would have definitely helped with the washboards and spinning. And it was 90-92 degrees outside.

Very concerned citizen
Or at least rode them along side to reduce the weight in back....

Holy crap! i didnt even realize that it had a manual tongue jack. It also only has one battery and no slide covers. What was up with this dealer? I also see that he has the same problem that i do where the coupler is mounted to the bottom of the frame instead of the top where most others are. This made me have to buy a long drop for my hitch which can hit the ground going into steep driveways.
