There is a 3rd variable that hasn't been mentioned. That is the position of the hitch in your truck bed. Each vehicle has a recommended position for the hitch rails which of course fixes the hitch position. My bed is 6'9", I have a slider and need it. If you are at 6'5", I would recommend it.
I ended up purchasing a Cougar 330rbk. Installed a non sliding companion hitch.
Backing into my driveway I ended up past 90 degrees with room to spare. So in my new situation I do not need a slider after all.
