    Short bed Hitch Concern

    So I have a Dodge Ram 2500 HD with the short bed. The current trailer, Hitchhiker II 34.5 has an extended pin box so the front of the trailer is a long way from the cab of the truck. With the Solitude the front of the trailer will be extremely close to the cab. Is anyone towing with this combination and how does is work out?

    I was thinking I might have to trade pin boxes.

    Look at the Pull rite Super glide hitch.
    We.have had ours for 5+ years and it works great for a short bed.

    I should have included my hitch information. I have the puck mounted B&W, no slider.

    Are you in the rearmost setting? If not you can reverse the uprights and gain another couple of inches.

    We also have a short bed and plan on towing the 310Gk. Our Pull-rite super glide just came today. I am hoping to get it installed on Monday.
