Question:
F-350 short bed 6 3/4 what will be turn radius an issue? Converting to a goosebox is also an option on the table. Reese does make an air ride goosebox # RP85FR that will replace your Lippert Rhino box. We also have the Gen-Y goosebox # GY98GR, which is a very good option. This uses rubber torsion springs instead of an air bag, so you get the shock absorption without having to deal with maintaining an air bag. You could pair the goosebox with a 5inch offset gooseneck ball # GY43XR if you need additional clearance.

Expert Reply:
While you do have a longer short bed truck on your 2023 Ford F-350 whether or not a Goosebox like part # RP85FR or the Gen-Y # GY98GR would provide enough turning clearance comes down to the nose style of the trailer you have. If it's a tapered nose you would be fine but if it's square at the nose and 8 foot wide it would be pretty tight and you'd be limited.
