Bought a 14 Ram 2500 Diesel with Ramboxes installed. I would like to tow a fifth wheel and have done quite a bit of research. I measured some 5ers at the dealership and found aywhere from 58 to 62.5 inches of clearance as they sat on landing gear. My bed is at 39" and rails at 59". With the rambox option the B&W Companion looks like a nice setup with a Reese 5th Airborne pinbox. Anybody using this setup or have any insight on my height? I'm concerned that if I find a used 5er that I like how can I be sure I can tow it once I go to pick it up? Seems to be a lot of parameters here....
The good thing is you are aware of the height and bed issues and are doing your homework. If you tried to pick up my trailer with your truck you would be towing 8 inches nose high on a 31 ft. trailer. Plus, there are no options to address the problem. Kinda limits the pool of future buyers should I ever decide to sell.
