I have pretty much the same setup on my van, and turning with trailers using the adjustable hitch or a WD hitch is not a problem. If I use a fixed ballmount, then I use a Valley 8" extension.
Your receiver is inset more than others. Like mentioned above, you could switch to the Step bumper model, and it'll stick out more.
I have a Reunel bumper-receiver on mine:

I'm a little confused here.
Factory step bumper. Factory receiver.
Wrong factory receiver?
Would/does Ford have a different receiver for each style of bumper?
Different receivers would/could sit farther back gaining clearance?
I will be at the Ford dealer tomorrow.
I will look into the possibility of two receivers available.
Then to aftermarket and check for how far to the rear they sit.
A weight distribution hitch gains me only 6" in length apparently.
I don't believe I have an interference problem on a new van and trailer.
It shouldn't be.
FWIW, I did pull the trailer home when the van was stock and 2wd.
I thought it was close then but I thought thats just the way it is.
