I hear you, but I like the back of my cab too much. For us the auto slider is best.
The way the front end on your fifth wheel is made ,and the position the Andersen sits in the bed , it wouldn't surprise me if you couldn't get 90 degrees . In the 16 years I have been towing four different fifth wheels ,not once have I needed to get 90 degrees , or for that matter anywhere close , but it seems to many that's important.
As said ,I have to crank it pretty sharp to get into my driveway , and I have the shortest bed of the three . Ram being the shortest ,and your Ford being the longest. I have watched a friend of mine with the same truck you have back his fifth wheel, and I have never seen where he needs to pull his manual slider back. I would have to ask him ,but I don't think he's ever had to use the slider . Just food for thought, or live with that Pullrite.
Another friend , somewhat the same situation as you ,had the Superglide, and same truck .. He grew tired of that Superglide pretty quick, combination of the unhitching restrictions at an angle ,and just the weight of getting it in ,and out of his truck . He too went with the Andersen ,same as I did.
