Dear,
Ib516--you are the one who stirred my interest in the RAMs. Thanks again. Seems like 0.3" is a moot point. Does your Cougar have 15 or 16 inch tires? How about your truck tires?

ralphjoann--lets assume i buy a truck that does not match well with the FW. Is there enough play in the Anderson Ultimate to make any 3/4 ton truck work? Correct me if I am wrong but, my understanding is that the Anderson moves the pivot point back a few inches at the coupler but the weight is still transferred correctly at the truck..?

I have been looking at low mileage used TVs. There is a used Ford Platinum with 20" tires that I would like to consider. It sounds like first I need to do some measuring. Is it possible to buy a stock PU with 18 or 20" tires that won't "fit" the trailer?

Leveling issues are a big problem these days with the higher sitting trucks. It's an issue brought up here on the forum quite often. I have a 2014 Ram 3500, and it sits even higher then my friends 2015 Ford Platinum 350. Going out on a limb here, but I believe the 3500 Ram sits higher in the rear then the other two. I have done all I can to level mine with this new truck, other then raising the fifth wheel , its passable, but a couple more inches would not hurt. Had no issues with my older Ford Superduty 350 .The leveling of course also has to do with the fifth wheel. A tape measure will tell you a lot of things.

With the weight you are talking I wouldn't think its going to push that truck down more then a couple inches, that would be a good place to start with.
