Towed a few differnt fivers with the same truck, no slider, no problem. Both had extened pin boxes, but no angled sides on the trailer. I did have to watch close on sharp turns like when backing. It would hit it I went too sharp, but no issue if you pay attention. Always was able to get anywhere I wanted to go and not hit the truck.

A lot of folks that put a slider in end up forgetting to slide it (unless its an auto type) and they hit the truck.

The angled sides on the trailer help a lot, but an extended pin box is a must IMHO if you use a short box truck.
