Bed height on F250
I have not bought my pickup or RV yet, but planing on buying a f250 and f150 series fifth wheel, 273MK. I have heard there could be an issue with the f250 being to tall for grand designs f150 series 5th wheels. Is this so and what are the work arounds? Thank you Jay

I think I heard the 2020 F250 will have a slightly lower bed

That is good news. That should also result in more clearance between the pickup and RV. Thank you Orbsah

I have a 2018 F250 and tow a 303RLS with the Anderson hitch. With the ball in the middle position I am about 1" nose high with 6-7" bed rail clearance using the stock suspension. FWIW you can lower the bed by replacing the standard rear blocks with lower blocks. Pertty inexpensive to have done $200-$300 depending on location.

That is inexpensive fix. I have thought about the Anderson hitch or the pullrite.

I just think the 250 will more than take care of my needs. I will be buying a small 5th wheel. I did look a little at 350 this morning.
Check those tires!
