Short bed or long bed?

So the bottom line is that my turning radius is lowered with a 6.4" bed unless I get a Slider Hitch which requires me to intervene manually (get out an make some kind of adjustment) in the event of a tight turn or have the potential of the 5th wheel and truck attempting to break a very unpleasant rule of physics where "two bodies of matter cannot occupy the same place at the same time".

Is the above correct?

not necessarily. Take a look at the revolution pin box from Reese. No need for a slider and because your used to pulling a trailer it will be similar. That said, I still like a long bed. More room and better ride because of longer wheel base. It's your choice.
