RV.Net Open Roads Forum: Towing: 8' or 6.5' truck bed
WebIf your trailer has a taper at the nose, the general rule is as follows: 8-foot wide trailers taper to 6 feet at the coupler and 7-foot wide trailers taper to 5 feet at the coupler. Step 2: Measure the truck bed (Y) Next, you'll need the length measurement from the back of the truck cab to the center of the 5th wheel hitch head or gooseneck hole.

How to Measure Truck Bed for 5th Wheel & Gooseneck Clearance
WebI have had both and prefer the 6.5 bed. With the longer bed you can haul a lawnmower or ATV in the bed with gate closed allowing a trailer to be towed. DW prefers 5.5' bed for ease of parking. Depends on your needs. I agree as to what fits your needs best. For years always had a 8' box. In '96, ordered a '97 w/ 6.5' box and have them ever since.

RV.Net Open Roads Forum: Towing: 8' or 6.5' truck bed
WebMay 21, 2017 · If you want to stick with a 6.5' the solutions are a slider hitch or a Reese Sidewinder pin box. Can't remember which one but one slider mounts directly to the FORD puck system and another needs a $300 adapter. The issue with the sliders is that hitching can only be done 10-15 degrees off center which wouldn't work for us .

WebFeb 7, 2022 · Long-Bed Trucks: 8 Feet An 8-foot bed, also referred to as a long bed, is ideal for towing a fifth-wheel trailer. Fifth-wheel hitches must remain in front of a truck's rear axle, so the camper sits close to the cab. This can cause clearance issues on shorter trucks, as the trailer will strike the cab during sharp turns if the proper towing
