Outlander Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 While 6 inches seams to be the recommended/minimum distance between the top of the bed and a 5th wheel, a little more distance would be beneficial with certain large toy haulers and 5th wheels. Some RV manufacturers are trying to create as much headroom as possible at the front of the 5th wheel. As such, to stay under 13 1/2 feet (typical interstate maximum height restriction) a higher pick up bed becomes problematic. As an aside, observation only, many dually (in particular) Super Duties used by campers/snowbirds may rarely see off road action. So an option that lowers F-350 and F-450's might be a real hit?

Gbsharon Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Air suspension may address this. Not sure if that is in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cknox78 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 This is a good idea, need to keep the 5th wheel level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I could go there. We have ordered a 2wd "road queen" F250 5th wheel puller. one of several reasons to go 2wd was lower ride height. To have it sit 2" lower would be the same bed height as or F150, and since a lot of RV applications involve older folks then getting in and out of the truck would be a little easier.
