:M Why have all three of the big three made their trucks so bloody high?
My 2010 Ford F350 DRW 4x4 is 55 inches at the back of the bed and our 2014 Heartland Landmark with Mor-Ryde IS sit's perfect level with about 5 inches of clearance between 5ver and TV bed sides.
All three manufacturers now sit between 59 and 60 inches high and won't work with most fifthwheels. Seems like the manufacturers are only catering to redneck's that want jacked up off road bush trucks. I want to trade for a new 4x4 truck but won't accept a jacked up truck for the obvious non-negotiable reason's
1. I don't want to have to climb up higher to get into my truck
2. I don't want to have to have my Mor-ryde IS cutoff and riser's installed to raise my trailer.
3. I don't want a higher step up to get into my trailer if I had my trailer raised by doing step #2
4. I don't want to have to have new step's installed with 5 riser's installed onto my 5ver if I had step's 2 & 3 done.
5. I will not trade both truck and trailer at the same time to accommodate higher trucks. I will trade both for a class A before that happen's.
Hello Big three are you listening???
Man, I feel the same way!! They somehow have convinced the males of this country, and sounds like Canada too, that tall is more macho, more manly or something, and will immediately raise your testosterone level by 30 points. I think it also lowers your IQ by the same number, but that's neither here nor there. I can park my 2001 2-wheel drive 1-ton dually beside a newer 1/2 ton pickup and it looks like it sits a foot lower. And my toyhauler is still almost nose high when hooked up. Why in heaven's name would I want it any higher. And these are trucks that are pristine, and never even see a gravel road for crying out loud, and probably never will.
I've looked under some of these trucks and they have blocks under the springs to raise the height of the truck! WTH is that all about?
