I have a 2007 Dodge Ram MegaCab 1500 with the 5.7L HEMI.
I'm seem to get lost doing the math on what I can actually tow for a 5'VR. And since it's a short box, am I gonna have issues towing a 5'VR?
I am soooo confused. Guess that's why I'm a newbie, huh? ;)
With a short box p/u you could consider a sliding 5th wheel hitch or a pin box coupler similar to the 'Sidewinder" by Reese. Also, more recently, many Fivers are constructed to accommodate short bed trucks eliminating the need for special hitches or pin boxes.
