The hitch has to be centered on the axle CL. Actually it should be 1" fwd of the Axle CL. No way should you move it back on a Pickup. It will pull wt off your front axle and cause some very bad handling.
You will have to keep a close eye on your turns and when backing.
We towed with a SB Chevy for 4 yrs with no slider and no issues. Have to watch it though.
Another option is a sliding hitch. There are manual types you have to stop and get out and pull a lever to slide them back and same to reset fwd for driving. These are only for parking etc, no driving. Problem with these is you HAVE to use it, if you forget, wham! Lots of mashed up truck windows on trucks with sliders and forgot to pull them.
There is also a hitch that is automatic. Is a bit higher cost. It always moves back when a tight turn is started and returns to normal when straight.
