I have driven short bed trucks for over 20 years and have always used a standard hitch. I’ve never hit the back of the truck with the trailer. 90 degree turns are a marketing thing but not a practical one. Turning that tightly isn’t good for your axles and I’ve never been in a situation that needed it. If you know how to back up a trailer then you can plan accordingly. Conventional travel trailers can’t back at 90 degrees either without jack-knifing and hitting the bumper.
I do keep an eye on any potential contact with the truck cab when in tighter turns. If you’re concerned about it then get the slider.
