When I first got the Andersen I went to a big parking lot just to see what my capabilities were in turning and bed rail clearance. I found that I could actually go a little past 90 degrees, and at 90 I had about 4-6" clearance to back of cab, depending on other factors. Gotta' say, in response to earlier post, if someone damaged their 5er because of truck/trailer contact, it would seem they weren't being very careful and observant. If the hitch was properly installed, I can see why Andersen would absolve themselves, assuming there are no other circumstances. I don't think their advertising says anything about guaranteeing against problems not of their making.
First, Anderson has a video of a very shortbed truck doing a 90.. Second, the dealer who sold me the hitch guaranteed the two would not meet. Finally, The rams shortbed is 6 foot 3 inches. I believe the Fors has a 6 foot 6 inch shortbed. Im no idiot!. I installed the hitch correctly!
