A towing system includes each vehicle and component involved in towing. Each item in your towing system has a capacity
or weight rating.Your trailer has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or GVWR. Your truck has a towing capacity, a payload
above, the GVWR of your trailer for you to tow safely. In addition, if your truck can tow larger loads (has a larger capacity)
than the rating of your hitch, your system is only safe to tow loads at the lower rating, that of the hitch.
could be lower depending on the components involved. The lowest rating of any one component in the system becomes
the rating of the entire system. If your ball is rated to 18,000 lbs., and your hitch is rated at 24,000 lbs., the weight rating
of the entire system will not be above 18,000 lbs. Other components in the system could lower the actual system rating
further.
It is the end users responsibility to ensure a safe towing experience. To this end, It is your responsibility to ensure that

CAB CLEARANCE
If you are towing with a short bed truck, you may be aware that adequate cab clearance is needed for sharp angle turns
and damage to the truck cab could occur if the clearance is not calculated correctly.
This formula is a guide for checking clearance: (cab to axle) - (half of trailer width) = cab clearance
Here are a few examples:
BED LENGTH CAB-TO-AXLE DIST. CAB-TO-TRAILER CLEARANCE
8 ft. 56” 56” - 48” = 8” of cab clearance
6 ft. 40” 40” - 48” = - 8” negative cab clearance
5-1/2 ft. 28-1/4” 28.25” - 48” = -19.75 negative cab clearance
As you can see, an 8’ bed truck provides more clearance than needed, whereas a 6’ bed truck does not allow for a full
tighter turns.The 5-1/2’ bed truck provides even less cab clearance.
If towing with a truck bed that is 6 ft. or less, you must take into consideration that most gooseneck ball installations are
located ahead of the truck axle, which in turn reduces the trailer to cab clearance. This hitch will provide a minimum of 3
slightly behind the truck’s rear axle.
While the #2600 can be used with these shorter bed trucks, keep in mind that PullRite only recommends the use of a
slider type hitch for any towing application without 100% cab clearance.
