Andersen and 6'4" Ram
Looking at a Ram. Can anyone comment that has an Andersen hitch with the 6' box? What kind of clearance are you getting between the cab and tailgate. What's the orientation of the pin adapter?
Thanks
Thanks

I can ,and I will. :)
A little more information would be helpful . I have towed two different fifth wheels with my rail mount Andersen. My previous Montana fifth wheel I had the hitch mounted with the ball furthest from the cab , also the adapter putting it furthest from the cab, no clearance problems with my 2014 Ram 3500 short bed. My present fifth wheel I have the hitch the same ,but the adapter putting the fifth wheel closer to the cab, still not an issue with clearance.
The clearance depends on a few things , where the pin box is mounted on the fifth wheel, some stick out further then others. How rounded the front cap on the fifth wheel is, giving additional clearance. . IMO the OP will not have any issues with clearance, especially with a newer fifth wheel ,and the hitch ,and adapter both in rear position to start.
I have yet to get into any situations where backing into a spot was a clearance issue. I was a little concerned this summer ,had to back into a pretty tight spot in an RV campground in Montana this summer. Not sure what degree of turning I did , but I would guess in the 65-70 degree range. Actually more then I want to, but it was on dirt, and gravel so not that big of stress on the fifth wheel suspension.- cummins2014 should be commenting shortly...
