Let me ask this. I have a crew cab and when making a tight turn can you tell how close it is getting to the cab? I mean most of the time when making a turn the 5er is pretty close to the cab like just a couple of inches right? Do you have to worry when making most turns. If that is the case then its a no brainer.
When making a 90 degree turn, because the steering wheel cut is limited to about 36 degrees, the maximum angle between the truck and fiver will be around 45 degrees. This will not be a problem for any 6.5ft bed with extended pin box fiver. So, normal turns are not a problem, especially since we rarely turn the wheel to full lock anyway.
However, if you want to make a full 180 degree turn, then you will not be able to keep the steering wheel at full lock for the entire maneuver. Long bed trucks will have the same problem, but just later in the turn.
Finally, as MFL indicated, when backing a little extra jockeying back and forth can get the job done with less risk of cab to fiver contact and less stress on tires, etc. I use a fixed leg hitch with my 6.5 ft bed and never had a problem in 25+ yrs.
