Corina Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 I have a 2002 Ford f250 super duty 4 door short bed. What is the best hitch to accommodate my 35 ft 2007 crossroads cruiser 5th wheel with that vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDBirdman Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 I say depends on your RV. Some have relief cuts (?) in the front/bottom specifically for clearance. Mine are mildly rounded over/in on front/bottom so an Anderson hitch works good although there's been a few times it's made me nervous. There's all kinds of hitches/brands made for short-beds, sliders - manual or automatic, etc. I have not hit yet but a couple close calls a couple times. I also have a 60 gallon fuel tank in-bed/front of bed. I just have wife watch when I back. I say each truck/RV combo is different so call is yours. I love how I can take my hitch in/out in a few minutes by myself. Anderson does work off of a goose-neck ball in the bed.

rynosback Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 You would need to get a slider hitch. Even with them they can hit the cab. Plus I think your towing with to little truck.

MNRon Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 We have a Pullrite Superglide, it automatically moves the trailer back from the cab while turning. It’s automatic. I highly recommend it.

NDBirdman Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Looks like another one and done? LOL I'm thinking of a Reese Goose-box for next hitch, anyone have love/hate relationship with it? Unless I get a class-A, BUT, my RVn days may be over before they got far...

It’s automatic. I highly recommend it. Plus 1 on the superglide. They are bulky but make a huge difference in any stress with turning. Mine is in a megacab Ram. Keep an eye out for used ones. I picked mine up cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don SC Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 My Curt slider hitch has a lever that unlocks the slide from the rails. It (slider) moves about 15 inches backward but you must lower the tailgate. That lever becomes a bear to unlock when the weight of the 5er is on the hitch.
