    Rotoflex Pin box catching cover rail

    2019 F350 SRW Long bed with 2019 Solitude 310GK and Rota Flex pin box. Reese M5 20k hitch - Ford companion.
    I’ve caught the rail at least twice now. Hitch is at highest setting.

    I suspect your hitch hight is low and little rail clearance or you get into a situation with the truck tilted significantly relative to the trailer. (again, check bed rail clearance) My 310GK and 2017 F350 with ~5" of bed rail clearance have never hit, and I have been very close to 90 degrees. Do you have any places that you have a large difference in truck and trailer tilt (side-to-side or front-to-rear)?

    Chris, that could be it. The hitch is installed at max height. I’ll look further at the attitude of the trailer vs truck and distance between 5’er loft and truck side rail. Thanks!
