Correction I wasn’t looking at the OE system. Great news. Looking like only 3lb difference 256 vs 259

I have a 303RLS and a Ford F350 CCSB with the pucks. The auto slider is a good choice but I chose a B&W Companion Slider which is not an auto slider. You will probably not need to use it often but I like to slide it into the rearward position when backing into my driveway and at the campground. In the rearward position when hitching and unhitching you have 12" more room between the tailgate (down) and the camper and can even walk from side to side between the tailgate and camper. An auto slider will be in the far forward position when the truck and trailer are straight. A manual slider in the rearward position is also more responsive (when straight) to initial steering inputs when backing closer to how a travel trailer reacts. Just something else to consider.

I'd also recommend looking at the B&W Companion hitches. We love ours.

You raise some valid points. However, as “Newbies” to the 5er world and perhaps to towing in general. I’d recommend an auto slide. I feel the KISS formula will keep them out of danger. Having to move or pull extra levers and then forget to put the hitch in the forwards HIGHWAY position. Having to get out and pull a lever when you find yourself in a congested tight turn route. Say you end up downtown by accident. That’s not the time to be getting in and out of the truck. But holes beeping horns. Others just oblivious. No thanks. KISS for me. Just my opinion. Everyone has their own comfort zone

Welcome and congrats on the new truck and 303 !
We have used a superglide since day one on our truck and 2014 303 and have been extremely happy with it. If you search the forums on superglide you will see a number of threads over the years. Along with the 2714 if you go that route, you will need a capture plate and this thread talks about this.
https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...=capture+plate
Below is the link to the Pullrite Capture Plate page showing the various capture plates needed for various pin boxes. You will want to verify which capture plate you will need. I suspect the pin box on your 303 (Lippert # 1621) is the same as we have and 303s (and other GDRVs also have) which will require capture plate # 331704.

There is also a video on the Pullrite site talking about and showing the Superglide in action. There are various videos on youtube as well.

If you are asking about the 2714 and 2914 hitch weights they both weigh 216 lbs. as noted on the page of the Pullrite site Tech specs. tab bottom right:
https://www.pullrite.com/2714
The hitch head is easily removable @ 40 lbs. The hitch head tilt/swivel @ about 25ish lbs. is also removable by removing the large center pivot bolt. A little more work but not a big deal. It is a good opportunity to clean and re-grease as well.
If you click on the documents tab also lower area right, you can view the owners manual pdf. This document is also in the library tab of this forum.
