- Thomas_NHExplorerMine is a "17" - F250 Lariat supercab, powerstroke, black & chrome. It's well set up for towing my Grand Design 313RLTS. Only in my dreams... I actually have the same set up in 2016, I guess I should have waited, but I needed the truck last year for a tax purposes and the extra weight of the trailer. However, I'm really disappointed with the warmed over 18 year-old body style. Come next year there will be another new truck in the yard.

2008 Jayco Eagle 291RLTS - That's a sweet lookin rig Eagle...
- retired_in_utahExplorerDid the higher truck bed affect the level of the trailer when hooking up. I bought a 2016 Ford dually because the 2017 dually bed sat about 4 inches higher than the '16.

That is a good question. They are considerably taller.

My trailer was already raised for my old 08 and had a lot of bed clearance. I had to raise the hitch a little and was able to get 7" of clearance. Trailer rides and pulls really good.
- 2naEagleExplorerOn another note I had to have air bags on my 08. Same trailer on 17 and still have 3/4" of rake.

High for sure!
I rented one a month ago and it had no side bars to get in the cab.
Even being a long legged 6 footer, I had to jump up every time to get in. I can't imagine the hard time someone shorter would have. I could not just reach over the side of the bed to grab anything either. - goducks10ExplorerCheck your mail for a recall notice.
