Long bed truck
Can open tailgate when hooked up to 5vr
Hitch is actually 2" forward of centerline of rear axle
Other then Opening tailgate to hitch/unhitch the only issue is to remember tailgate is down when leaving.........turns would make tailgate into a can opener on front compartment
(One reason I swapped to a 'U' 5vr tailgate vs OEM)
