2017 Dodge crew short bed with Andersen Ultimate
Anyone using the Andersen hitch in a 2017 Dodge short bed. Was looking at a new Dodge, but have concerns that the distance to the back of the cab may be a issue. Any suggestions, I really prefer the Andersen over the conventional 5er hitch.

Hi Steve and Connie,
Yes, I am using and Anderson on a 2014 Ram 3500 Dually short bed. With the trailer ball to the rear of the truck, as it tells you to put it, and the adapter with the funnel reversed so the funnel is to the rear, I have no clearance issues. I have not tried a 90* turn, but I have turned it pretty tight with no issues.
Hope that helps!

Thank you George, that was my thought. I was of the mind that the bed was the same size as my Chevy. Looks like the wheel wells on the Dodge are set forward about 4".

My B&W Patriot 16K hitch is 1" forward of the rear axle on my F250.
My bed's slightly longer than other brands at 6 3/4 feet long, and I don't have any clearance issues with my Reflection 323BHS.
I like the Anderson hitch and the fact that it's easily removed. Our camper is moved around by our campground, and they only move trailers with the standard kingpin hitches. If you had to have service, most dealers are not equipped to deal with Anderson's hitch system either.

If you look at my previous thread I posted some photos of the Andersen with a Megacab, zero issues with the cab. Hope this helps.
