Because of the short bed is more likely to make the contact between the trailer and the truck cab during a tough. You can not use the mount on top, for the tongue weight of the trailer to the right spot on the bed.

You have 3 options:
1. Buy this bracket anyway, and pay attention to the corners and hope that you will not forget.
2. Fab new collar for a meeting on the trailer (the body of the trailer to the capo). to move further back on the trailer. This can not be used depending on the type. You can also adjust the height of the tongue, this is where you would remove the neck and install a longer neck, so its less likely to communicate that with the truck. This link shows you a few possibilities:

3. A hook called automatic Superglide.

Six beds are too short to walk fifth wheel or gooseneck trailers, damage to the cabin and / or injury of passengers could lead to sharp curves. . . . and believe me there with no tight corners!
