Measure. I just went out and measured mine. A short box with a 2955RL>
From the centre of the pin box to the outside of the trailer is 50-51"
From the centre of the pin hole in the hitch to the back of the cab is ~ 40".
There is 10" of interference which will hit the cab.
The cut back trailer cap helps but does not eliminate the problem that you can get only about 65-75 degree jacknife before trouble.
I've been in two spots where I had to pull fwd. and put the slider back, but I had to do it or not get into the site. There have been other spots where I have been knowingly close. Hopefully I don't forget.
Get the manual slider as the minimum. I have the manual slider, didn't know about auto sliders at the time. And to give credit to my dealer, they didn't ask me but simply put the slider hitch in.
