I like the new color on the Reflections. Matches nicely with your truck

Thanks! I agree too.. I could have saved a few grand easy if I went with an older model in the RV tan but I just like the new colors too much. And they updated the interiors quite a lot also.

I think the whole industry shifted away from taupe/tan/brown and went back to white and grays. We just bought a new TT In February it has a similar exterior white and a gray that matches the truck, the inside is light colored with gray/chocolate wood. I like the new trend.

I've got the pullrite superlite. I like the idea of the andersen ultimate but I like the all steel construction of the pullrite

Interesting choice. 2400 with frame rails? Or 2600?

2600 single point attachment. Why interesting choice?

Your truck is a shortbox right? I guess this hitch wasn't on my radar initially so I'm very interested to hear about the turning radius clearance. I currently have a Pullrite Superglide 4400 for my 07 Mega Cab. It's one heavy bitch.

Yes, my truck is a short box. The Pullrite 2600 has a similar design to the andersen ultimate with the offset from the ball. I havent had it in any tight spots yet, but I will update once I get a chance to test my turning angles. If memory serves me right, the kingpin sits 7-8" behind the gooseneck ball, to the andersens 9"

Reading about the hitch from the Pullrite website, the king pin adapter plate gives you 3.5 inches of offset. Looking forward to seeing how close it is for ya. I too like the Andersen Ultimate but I'm having a hard time with the aluminum as well.

The king pin adapter gives you 3.5", and then the goose ball adapter and way the hitch mounts gives you another 3.5". So in total I believe the king pin sits a total of 7" back from the goose ball. At least thats what it looked like when I measured it all out when I installed it the first time.

Ahhhh. I see what you're saying now. This video really illustrates well. I need you to get turning radius assessment asap! LOL.

Great looking combo, truck and trailer match nicely...not a coincidence I’m sure. Congrats

The reason I bought a new truck was for the dream camper the kids and wife wanted. Here they are together.
That was sort of my plan. I had a Ram 1500 and a 28' bumper pull, upgraded to the Ram 2500 and then upgraded to the Grand Design fifth wheel.
