Truck squat question
How much does the rear of your truck squat once hitched and landing gear are up? Never owned a 5er before so just curious.

- Have a 21 GMC 3500 SRW and a 21 KZ 387FLF. I’m within my trucks weight limits but just curious what was typical. Having never towed a 5th before I didn’t know what to expect. I’m considering adding Timbrens just to keep it level.
- Depends on truck suspension, and if your truck is rated to carry the amount of pin wt applied.
Simple answer is...a proper matched truck/FW will squat about 2-3 inches on average.
Do you have a truck and FW in mind, that you are considering?
Jerry - If the truck is level when the 5er is loaded you’ll be fine IMO.
- 4-5" drop on a 2000 F350, no "squat". Sits fairly level.......But, it will depend on your trailer pin weight.
