Is 2019 F-350 Too Tall for 310-GK-R

[Tim2542]

Duallys usually sit a bit lower due to smaller tires, this also gives them a bit lower overall gear ratio compared to SRW. In any case, Ive seen plenty of 310’s sitting just fine on fords, even SRW. You should be fine.

I happened across a couple videos on YouTube that said in some cases, a 2019 F-350 could be too tall for certain fifth wheels. See links below:

I hope not because I just purchased a 2019 F-350 DRW with the intent on purchasing a 310-GK-R.

Thanks

EDIT .... I just saw the post below on a similar topic and if I am reading it correctly, it looks like I should be ok. But those videos sure gave me a moment of panic.

I had a 2017 F250 then bought a 2019 F350 dually. The dually sits lower to the ground by an inch or two. I tow a 2020 Monmentum 320G with no issues what so ever.

This thread gives me great concern. We have a 2019 F350 DRW crew cab with long bed. The bed rail sits at 58.75" and the B&W Companion hitch plate is 4" below that. We have plans to place an order on Monday for the 310-GK. We have been pulling a 35' Cougar, and its nose sits a bit high with the hitch in its lowest position. I am concerned about bed rail clearance and keeping the trailer level.

Hitch up to an in stock 310 and see how it fits. I cant imagine your dealer would object.

Great suggestion but they don’t have a 310. They have a 385 at 40’. Although 5’ longer would that work similarly?

I would think they are the same, but if not find another dealer, or someone on this group nearby with a 310. I doubt you'll
have any issue, or if you do there will be an adjustment or solution.

and @Sowbug. I think you should be just fine. I have a 2017 F-350 SRW and 310GK (see sig). My 310GK sits the truck down about 3". The truck is dead level and the trailer is about 1~1-1/2" nose high, very acceptable. The Dually starts a little lower but I believe has stiffer rear springs. I expect you will end up just a tad lower than I am, which should be just about prefect for the truck and trailer. I run my B&W Companion in the middle (of there) height settings. For me this is the best compromise between the trailer being level and the bed rail clearance (I have about 6").
