A short bed truck will almost always require a special bed hitch that allows the hitch point to move backwards when turning so the front of the trailer does not hit the back of the cab. Some 5th wheel adapters allow you to use a standard hitch platform by extending out further in front giving the extra distance.

In my case, I make use of bed toolbox a lot, so went long bed to help with that access as well. Yup, it's a pain in today's parking lots for sure. And in maneuvering with trailer in tight places. Not for the in-experienced.
