Presently have the same truck just a 2018. No slider or rotating pin box? So can you get a full 90 with no interference? Looking at a similar trailer to purchase.

So is there a benefit of the rotating pin box over a slider. I don’t have a fiver yet, just trying to educate myself. With either set up you need a hitch in the bed. Is there a weight advantage?

Thanks for all the info. Ya I kinda gasped when they showed me the break down of costs on the estimate. Won’t pay the 3500, that’s a lot of money for a wash and sweeping the floor.

Dealer prep cost

What’s the going rate for dealer prep these days? Looking at purchasing a new trailer and compared to the $900.00 we paid back in 2014 $3500.00 seems, well, crazy money.

Ya I didn't think it needed to be charged either because the compressor is running. Will take a closer look at these things and let you know what we find. Thank you for the replies, keep em coming.

It was working great until about 2 months ago. Is this something that can slide or move on it's own?

We sleep a total of one night on our new mattress and bought a memory foam topper the next day. Works great for us.

Curious...The 7050 GVWR is on the door sticker? I have a 2013 f150 XLT super crew with a 5.0 and my door sticker says 7350. Wondering why they lowered the GVWR.
