My setup is a 2020 GD 150 series Reflection 295RL. I tow with a F250 6.7 diesel. My hitch is a Pullrite Super 5th (16K). I have the turning point activated (no more fear of a busted back window) and have have not had a problem using it as yet. When parked I like the ability to be able to turn pin box sideways so as to get it out of the way and not a "head hazard"
As for hitching it up I've found that this method works well, if I follow the following routine: When backing the truck, (looking in the rear view mirror) the pin box is directly behind (hidden) by the back center seat headrest. And the truck is centrally positioned by checking the side mirrors. All my wife has to do is tell me when to stop about 6" away from the pin. I love the auto-reconnect feature of the auto-leveling system as I rarely have to alter the hitch height before connecting up.
Incidentally I just got back from a 7 day trip to the coast and back approx. 500 miles With going over and back over the Cascade Mountains I averaged 12.1 mpg. I have an auxiliary fuel tank in the truck bed and so didn't need to refuel. I would recommend this useful accessory to anyone.

Thanks to everyone who replied.
I have been going back and forth on my truck purchase, and I think I have decided, based on this thread and others, is that 3/4 ton (Gas) offering from either Ford or Ram will be manageable. I was originally leaning toward 1 tons ... but finding them in gas is a challenge and my window for ordering is closing for various reasons.
I was slightly worried about payload numbers pushing me toward one tons, but all of the loading stickers I am looking at (for similarly outfitted, modestly equipped 3/4 ton trucks) have set my mind at ease, most being at 3000 pounds which was my low cut off. It's amazing what those diesel engines do to the yellow sticker*.
Next step will be to re-drive the 3/4 tons and make a decision.
* caveat, I understand fully why and what it really means, but we sure do have a funny way of implementing regulations here in the US.
