    Need hitch height 270 RTK

    Need some help. If anyone has a 270RTK and can tell me the hitch measurement to the top of the hitch when the trailer is level, I would be eternally grateful. I bought a new truck, and I'd have to actually move my trailer to get it level to measure so I can set my hitch height properly.

    Puma Unleashed 351THSS - Slide Hitch Required?

    I will soon have a 351THSS. The seller highly recommends a slide hitch for a Ford short (6'-8") bed, which is also what I have (2010 F350 CC FX4). This sounds odd on any modern rig, but he did break his rear cab window with the corner of the fifth wheel when turning tight, he estimated 75°...

    hitch electrical connection

    I noticed on my last trip my left blinker stopped working. I checked the bulb and it was fine, then hooked my other truck to it, not the one I tow with normally and the blinkers were working, so the Tundra I tow with for whatever reason is not sending the left blinker signal. Any ideas what...

    8000 lb e2 Trunnion Hitch Issue.

    Hi. I have a 2016 Microlite 23LB. When I bought it and brought it home, there was no tension on the trunnion bars at all. Some time later, I raised the "L" brackets one hole. That made it seem like the bars were carrying load at least. Some time later, I took it to a dealer to have them verify...

    Hitch bike carrier for fifth wheel?

    I have a fifth wheel, I'm going to add a hitch receiver to the bumper so I can bring our bikes- I'd prefer the hitch style so when we get where we're going I can use it on my truck as well.
