Hi,
As you might have seen from some of my recent posts, I am a new owner of a Cyclone 2812.......but I need a hitch before I can pick it up and would like to keep my toolbox in my truck. I have never had a 5th wheel before. I am taking your advice and going to buy Firestone Airbags, and still deciding on a hitch pending measurements. I am also going to buy a new brake controller, I currently have the DrawTight and I am not happy with it.....I'm thinking about the Prodigy brake contoller
I need to know the distance between the forward most part of your hitch (whether it is the rails that bolt to the bed or the actual hitch receiver) to the front of the bed (closet to the cab). Please specify which truck you have so I can make sure measurements are consistent. I have a 2003 Ford F250, Short Bed, Crew Cab. I currently have an EXPENSIVE custom built chest toolbox (that sits below my rail so the height won't be an issue) in my truck and I am not sure if I have enough room for a hitch to be mounted in the bed of the truck with the toolbox. The footprint of the toolbox sits just forward of the bolts that mount my bed to the truck's frame. So, I am not sure if rails are going to hit the toolbox.
I would like to take almost everybody's advice and buy a SuperGlide. I would like the 14K Pull Rite Underbed mount if it means I can keep my toolbox in the truck or the above bed mount. Or ANY other hitch if I can keep my toolbox.
Any measurements, advice would be greatly appreciated.
