In our case I bought the truck before I got the trailer. I was set on the Grand Design Momentum so I got the F450 knowing the Momentum has a GVW of 16.5 lbs GVW. Well, my wife liked the Reflection 28bh instead - D'oh! The 28bh has a GVW of "only" 11k lbs.
The truck came with the Ford/Reese 27k hitch. That thing is a monster. I haven't tried taking it out of the bed yet, but I have a feeling I'll have to bust a gut to get it out. So now I'm toying with the idea of going with an AUH instead so I can easily regain the real estate in the bed of my truck when I'm not towing.
I don't think the weight of the trailer will be an issue at all. And from the post above it looks like I can bypass the puck system and just get a hitch ball for the bed.
Are there any other downsides or changes I need to consider? Can I go with the Lippert pin box that came with the trailer or do I need a Trail Air or some other cushioned in box system?
