A word of caution, do some measurements of your pin box before jumping to an Andersen. I talked to a gentleman with a newer short bed Ram and a busted out rear window. He was pulling a Montana High Country with rounded front corners. With the Andersen adapter facing rearwards his pin box was damaging his tailgate. He turned the adapter around and happily towed for many thousands of miles before he took out his rear window and dented his cab. He did say he lost focus when the incident occurred. I wouldn't run the hitch with the adapter forward with your truck.
Although thats a possibility ,that gentlemen would of NEVER been able to run an Auto slider, he would of hit every time he turned a corner, that had to be one screwy pin box.Although I have seen where some have had to clip the corners on the pin box, with just a manual slider , its rare, but Its a possibility. Why would the gentlemen not clip the corners. ??? It sounds like it was not making a lot of contact.
I am not sure what you mean, not run the adapter forward, that means putting the fifth wheel closer to the cab to me, I run mine putting the fifth wheel further from the cab, so to me thats the adapter in the rear position . If I have the terminology wrong ,you know I mean .
OP has the same truck as mine, megacab short bed. If he runs it the same as I do ,and the corners are rounded on the fifth wheel , and he has what I would call a normal pin box or the MorRyde pin box, and hopefully he will, there should not be a problem .
