4. Trucks come in many different configurations. Reese hitches are designed for use in light trucks such as the Ford F-

Series, the Chevy Silverado and the Dodge Ram. Reese recommends the use of long bed (8ft) light trucks for the best
combination in truck - trailer turning clearance.

Rule of thumb:

The distance from the back of the truck cab to the center of the rear truck
axle (“X” in Fig. 3), should be approximately 4 inches greater than one-half
the trailer width (“Y” in Fig.3)

5. The height of the hitch and the pin box should be adjusted so the trailer is approximately level as it is towed. Allow

approximately 6 inches clearance between the top of the pickup walls and the underside of the front of the trailer for pitch
and roll of the trailer. (See Fig. 5). Allow more clearance between pickup walls and trailer for off road use.
