A Mega-Cab that I looked at in 2010 (before I selected my long-bed Chevy) had a SHORTER than short-bed box on it. Something like 5'-8".
That would make any fiver slightly problematic.
Mine is definitely 6'4". I am 6', and every time I need to get something out of the bed seems to be all the way against the cab; I have to climb in and get filthy. My feet are well inside the box when this happens.
Measure it, don't guess. My Ford has a 6.5' box and I have a slider that I never use. Mostly because of the extended pin box on the trailer and the sculpted front end. I looked at the Open Range website and all they showed had the extended pin box and sculpted front end.
My "guess" is you would be fine. If you go without a slider get in a parking lot and just see how much you angle you can back at w/o hitting the cab. Or better yet when you pick it up (if you haven't bought a hitch) get the dealer to let you try a regular hitch in the dealers lot and if you decide you need a slider you can buy at the time. You may pay more at the dealer but you will be getting what you need and not what you think you need.
Thanks...that makes a lot of sense.
