Pulling a 5th wheel

[DickBlin]

We are looking at a 4 x 4 flat bed truck to pull a 5th wheel.
Any one doing that with a flat bed?

The OP is in NM = measure & go for it.

For *CA* residents, a pickup with flat bed means - req'd to stop at scales. "No Pickups" sign does *not* apply!
(Whether you get away with passing or not depends on the folks at the scales).

Not a problem for vehicles with out-of-state plates in CA.

Was considering changing to a flat bed on our old truck to carry a scooter. While investigating found out that the actual flat bed that replaces the standard bed was 2 1/2 inches higher than the standard bed due to the rails that the bed sits on, which would have made my rig ride to high..

Something to keep in mind.

That'll be your biggest problem. You'll have to cut some holes in the flat bed to mount the hitch, and then have to get the whole rig level. If the bed is higher, you'd better have a hitch and trailer that has enough 'adjustability'.

Yep seen a lot of them. They look like they are pulling rather easily go for it for sure.

Have see a few on the road over the years, some have even built tool box features on the bed for that extra storage. Go for it.

Easier than a standard bed, for sure.
