Moving from Short bed to Long be tow vwhicle.

After 10 years of very successful towing our 5th wheel with a short bed truck with a Pullrite slider hitch we are getting a full bed and staying with Pullrite but not their slider it will be a Super 5th 20K.

Couple questions will my backing up be different with this setup? And please tell me that with a full bed there is much less chance of hitting the cab on a severe jack knife that with the short bed.

And information will be appreciated.

Merry Christmas!
  • Ditto on the above. I have a long bed and the Pullrite and never came close to hitting the fiver nose.
  • I have a long bed and there is a lot of room between the cab and front of 5er. Would have to jacknife well over 90 to hit. And no reason to ever do that.

    I had a Pullrite Super 5th 16k and really liked it. If they had had one at the time I bought the 2012 F350 to fit the factory hitch prep I would have bought another.
  • 99.5% of setups will be just fine. The other .5% is anybodies guess.
