The bed rails look awfully close to that fiver... Might want to think about adjusting the pin box or hitch to give you a couple more inches...

I figured there may be questions about this. In the picture the fifth is pretty much level. The land slopes (as viewed) downhill front to rear as well as side to side. So the "studdly" truck is no where near level and has too much space on the other side rails.
This grassy slope is why I also opted (this time) for 4WD; I need to make a 270 degree turn, uphill, on an often damp surface, just to exit my current parking space. Hopefully $ will come in this winter and allow me to back it into the woods (under a covered pole barn) soon.

and the rest of the story.....Green Gem Duallys pull more weight.....and go faster when the mirrors are extended.........
old soldiers have learned to pace themselves.
But in fairness, my previous Ford TV was forest green, and I loved it too.

I must belong to that 'special' club as I not only had a white truck (a Toy *gasp*gag*ota) at the same time as I had a green truck, well, green and tan, a '79 F350SC that I drove for 17 years, mostly for pulling a mid '70s 5er. I vowed to never again have a white or green truck - but slipped did have one more all green one
