    I have the Pullrite super glide 2900 on my F350 CC SB and have plenty of clearance, >6"!

    Something I have noted is that bed depth seems fairly consistent between trucks. So a fixed hitch height isn't a deal breaker.
    Hey Rick

    thanks for the reply. I do think that the solitude is a bit wider that the reflection. Is the 6” you refer to clearance on the truck sides or to the cab?

      I also like the AUH concept . . . but, it comes with other considerations. If you choose to put the cup ahead of the pin to gain clearance from the cab, you bring the wings of the pin box very close to the sides of the truck box in a sharp turn. I have a Reese manual slider hitch . . . which I really like. It doesn’t have the auto hitch wedge to align so can be hitched at any angle. I can see the hitch out the back window when connecting. The trailer reacts more quickly when backing because the connection point is fixed behind the rear axle. There is lots of room between truck and trailer to open/close either the tailgate or the front storage compartment of the trailer.

      BTW, I like your avatar . . . Embr?

        That's bed rail top to underside of trailer.

        FWIW I recently measured my turning radius. I didn't turn into a full 90d but got to maybe 100d. (I've had to do similar turns several times last summer. I paced out my normal 45' length to a 60' radius.
