I was towing with a 2005 Chevey Duramax Silverado, it had 18" wheels and a long bed. The 5th wheel has 15" wheels.
Just bought 2014 Ram Laramie Longhorn and did not think of or consider differences until too late, I have the Ram and now realize things are not the same. I am having the Ram Dealer install their Super Glide Hitch System to cover the short bed issue but now the difference in height issue I am stuck....now what?
Anyone been thru this have any answers or suggestions as to what else needs to be done?
Thanks you for your help

butdoit, may I ask what you learned about this? I'm evaluating the 2014 F250, GM/Chevy 2500s and the RAM 2500, all diesels. I haven't decided yet. I noticed a post in this thread indicating only a .3" difference in the 18" vs. 20" wheels, so getting 18" on the RAM 2500 is no solution.
I'm considering used travel trailers vs. fifth wheels. I'm concerned that 2-5 year old 5ers may be problematic if there is an elevation mismatch. I'd appreciate hearing about that. Thanks
