We own a 2015 ram megacab and a new Montana 3610. We bought the Andersen ultimate. Backed up to my driveway and WHAMO!. Busted back window and a dented cab... The truck, has 2200 miles on it and is back in the body shop to repair the repair they did originally..we bought this LARAMIE in November. Out of two dalerships in my area and 400 RAMS, not one long bed dually, not one. All were short beds with some long bed srw... Can anyone explain why RAM Would build a truck with a cummins, and AISIN auto with the factory 5th wheel prep package in a shortbed.?. But then again, why did I buy it?....
Took the Andersen back and got a refund. Now we have the superglide... About 160 lbs heavier than the Andersen...400 lbs over my GVWR....
MONTANA has now reduced the pin weight. On our model from 2905 to around 2500...

I hate when that happens!! Just curious, if you have a short bed, did you turn the hitch so that the ball is closer to the tailgate? It sets the ball back several inches further, hence your trailer is back further as well.

I can turn nearly 90 degrees with my Ford SB. Not that I need or LIKE to do that, but it happens sometimes and I haven't hit my cab.

Many many owners with the Ram Megacab have no issues with the Andersen hitch. I have no issues with a conventional slider , never have had to slide it back with my Montana fifth wheel.

I have no doubt that the Andersen would work as advertised with my Ram Megacab and Montana fifth wheel with the factory fifth wheel prep.

Although its unfortunate, and an expensive mistake running the cab into a fifth wheel, or dropping a fifth wheel for that matter, but towing a fifth wheel requires some additional awareness. An automatic slider is the perfect, but expensive alternative to not have to worry or pay attention to what you are doing.
