Boy, talk about a broad statement!!
Have at least 3' to 4' from back of cab to what the nose,or pin location.
With a Standard/Regular bed best you will do with pin over axle is about 36" to the from the pin. Seeing how an 8' wide 5er, is 48" from pin to one side or the other, unless a space wasting rounded front cap keeps it narrower about 36' at a point about 36" back of the pin the cab and 5er will meet.
I would be more concerned with the 2500 carrying the 41' Rushmore, than distance from cab. I think most figure distance from cab to pin center. My Ford SD is 41"s from cab to axle center. My pin center is at 40"s, or one inch ahead of axle center.
The big 3 are all a little different, with GM having the greater distance from cab to axle center (about 42"s). Ram has the shortest distance, and would more often require a sliding hitch, depending on the front design of FW being towed.
