Question:
So IM thinking about buying a 5th wheel trailer 2016 artic fox but would want to convert it to a goose tec by morryde. My question is can I tow it with a 6-10 bed on 2023 3500 gmc with enough clearance to turn with out hitting cab. 5th wheel trailer has lipppert 1116 on it now I believe.

Expert Reply:
Hey Carl, yes you would be okay making sharp turns with your 2023 GMC 3500 short bed for a few reason. Your truck has a slightly longer short bed than standard, the gooseneck ball center is pushed back a few inches from where it normally is, and your 2016 Arctic Fox has a tapered nose. I don't know the weight of your Arctic Fox but if it weighs over 18k you'd want the part # MR27MV, between 14k and 18k part # MR87MV, between 11.5k and 14k part # MR77MV, or if under 11.5k part # MR67MV.
