That last picture makes up my mind. Way too close for me. If the trailer tires were on uneven ground, it could tap the cab.
I am not at all worried about my trailer hitting the my cab because I never have a need to put my truck/trailer at an angle where they get close. Even with a slider if you keep backing up cutting to a tighter and tighter angle you will eventually have the trailer hit your cab. At any rate as Biofgren pointed out a slider is only of value if you are going to use it and most who have a manual slider don't bother to use it because they don't think they need it. If I was worried about cab to trailer clearance I would buy an auto slider.
