Is a manual slider that much trouble?

So I’m looking at hitches for a 2015 Ford F-350 short bed. I see some convenience in an auto sliding hitch but wondering how much hassle it really saves? The extra money aside there’s additional weight involved and the convenience of not having to get out and manually activate the slider.
I had a long bed that I towed with before and can’t remember needing to ever make a 90 degree turn. Not having had a short bed before given the 39 inches I have between the cab and a king pin centerline and likely a 48” pin to edge of trailer does anyone know precisely what degree of turn I could make before it hits the cab? An math wizards out there?
