Distance Hitch Head to Front of Truck Bed

Question:

Im looking at the DM8550038 for a 2021 F350 6 3/4 box and have an Extang Xceed cover Im trying to find the distance between the Hitch and the front of the bed to determine if I can drive with it folded flat at the front of the truck or have to use the prop rods or take it off. The Anderson Ultimate will clear it fine but not give me the full 90 making it harder to back into my driveway.

The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider, # DM8550038 sets on the rails with very little overhang toward the front of the truck. It is not possible to provide an exact measurement without having the hitch installed in an equivalent truck bed to perform measurements. However, if you review the attached installation instructions and video you can determine that there is a minimal amount of the hitch past the forward rail.
