Truck too tall for 5th wheel

Hi all, new member here.

My Dad has a 2014 Dodge 2500 4x4 he would like to use to tow a 5th wheel. The issue is that the truck be is 60-61" high which I believe is 6-7" too tall for most fifth wheel campers.

Thanks

My F350 measures 58" from the ground to the top of the bed rails. I am surprised that a 3/4 ton Dodge would sit 2 - 3" higher, so does he have some type of lift kit or oversize tires on his truck?

If the Dodge is "jacked" or has some type of huge aftermarket tires then I would correct those issues. Otherwise, if the truck is generally stock then you probably don't have anything to worry about even if it is 61" high. As others have stated you can make adjustments to hitches or adjustments to pin boxes. Either way you are not going to be 6" or 7" too high for a 5th wheel, or at least nothing produced in the last 10 years.
