Towing Transition Eagle HT to North Point

Hope everyone is safe and doing fine out there.


Wifey and I are in the midst of a transition from our 27.5RLTS Eagle HT fifth wheel to a North Point 315RLTS fiver. The plan was to upgrade truck and trailer at about the same time. Well, as they say, "best laid plans..." We have, or soon will getting the truck; F350, SRW, 6.7PSD, SB. A PullRite SuperGlide is also waiting in the wings. But, we may have to hold off on the trailer for a season. Which, brings me to my query. Anyone have any thoughts or experience towing an HT with an F350? The HT weighs in at 9950 fully loaded, doubt we have ever gotten to that max, but maybe. So, I know the F350 will tow it without issue in that regard. The broader question is will it hitch correctly with the F350 taller truck bed? Ride level, etc.? Where should I take measurements of pin height, overhang clearance, bed rail height etc. to make sure it does? What else am I not thinking of I should?



Thx in advance.



Regards,
Mike and Laura

Not quite the same, but I switched from towing our older 30.5RLS with a Ram 1500 to an F350 in September with absolutely no issues. Hooked right up with no changes in clearance from the previous truck.
