OK - it's a happy day! Finally - truck purchased, hitch installed - and then after all the snow has been cleared and ice removed, the truck and 5er were brought together; and it's a match made in heaven :-)SOOOOO nice when everything works as planned - our 2011 F-350 even acknowledges "trailer attached" when the umbilical cord is connected...LOL! The hitch is a perfect height; there's nice clearance between the trailer and the truck bed sides. Brakes and lights work. Hitch slider works. Life is good :-)I had never really contemplated all the workings of hooking a trailer to a truck - been doing it all my life with "ordinary" trailers. Which is why I know that things don't always work out so nicely ....LOL!

Glad the "newlyweds" are getting along so well- here's hoping the honeymoon lasts forever!:)

Enjoy the new rig. Looks great.

What is all that white stuff on the ground?

So where and when is the Honeymoon to be??

Thanks for the kind words, everyone - we're pretty excited about it!

That "white stuff" was piled higher than the bottom of the trailer earlier this week; and the temps were -18 degrees. Fortunately, the trailer was safely (and warmly) parked inside our service bay at work while I packed and did a few minor fixups. Our youngest son (also a 5er-owner) supervised the hookup.

If the weather gives us a break - Florida will be the honeymoon location...LOL!

I've followed a few of your recent posts, and I was hoping the transition would go well for you.

You seem like very nice people. I hope you enjoy the new rig!!
