He mentioned it works with a 5.5' bed.... I would have liked to him elaborate on that a bit. Maybe it has a sidewinder type adapter?
Still need to have a gooseneck installed... what does that cost?
He did mention that but it needs to be pointed out that they didn't use an older flat nose fiver. They used a half ton X-lite type Couger fifth wheel with deep relief scallops in the nose to accommodate the short bed truck. This feature that Andersen claimed is more of a feature of the fifth wheel and not their hitch...unless I totally misunderstand (which, I dont think I am misunderstanding)
They make a rail version of the Andersen Ultimate Fifth Wheel hitch that's about 40 ish lbs... That version can be turned front or back to work in a fifth wheel rails. If turned towards the cab and mounted in the rails the ball is closer to the back rail...if turned to the rear of the truck the. The ball is closer to the back rail...letting the short bed and Fiver work great.
Thanks!
