My 2014 F350 is a long bed with the puck system and I have a B&W companion (not a slider since I have a long bed). With the tailgate down, once I am engaged in the hitch, my tailgate is only about 4-5 inches from touching the front of the rig. Scared me the first few times I hooked up, but I've gotten used to it.
As above, be very careful when at an angle. Even my long bed tailgate will hit the rig if the angle is severe enough.
