If you go short bed, all the Northwood trailers come with an extended kingpin. Also, there's 2 ways to nearlyguarantee the same turning radius as a longbed truck. Either a Reese Revolution/sidewinder setup (requires a 5th wheel hitch that uses rails or pucks to mount, not the gooseneck ball) or a sliding hitch setup. I'm planning on installing the mopar 5th wheel prep onto my truck since I didn't get the option from the factory, however the kit is only 250 bucks to add on. Then I'll probably go with a revolution/sidewinder setup since I like the fact that you get so much turning radius fore and aft. Also seems to be lighter weight than a sliding hitch setup.
