On my old one in my 2004 it did have three positions. For some reason with the new puck system on the Ford, there is only one set of bolt holes front to rear. It still has the three vertical positions but the only adjustment you can make on front to back is which way the vertical mounts are pointed. So I have it so the hitch pin is right over the axle. If I turn it around that would put the hitch pin a about 1-2 inches behind the axle. The instructions don't address it and every picture I can find shows it the way I have it. I have always read to keep the hitch pin over or slightly in front of the axle. The only problem is my storage door on the 5th wheel hits the tailgate. That's not even a big deal because I rarely need to open it when it's hooked to the truck. But last week my landing gear lost a bolt and I needed to fix it. It made it a real pain to work on with the door resting on my back while I was crunched over in the compartment.
