5. Trucks come in many different configurations. Reese’s M-Series hitch is designed for use in light trucks such as the
GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado. We recommend the use of long bed (8ft) light trucks for the best combination in truck
- trailer turning clearance.
6. If a short bed pickup (less than 8 ft. but longer than 6 ft.) is to be used for towing, Reese recommends the trailer be
equipped with a minimum 13” extended pin box to help gain additional truck - trailer turning clearance (See trailer
manufacturer for options) (See Fig. 19).
7. 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. 20). For off road use allow more clearance between pickup walls and trailer.
