With any hitch, there is the possibility of hitting the cab or bed rails with the trailer if there is a lot pitch, slope and angle while backing. Could my trailer tag my Cab or bed rails, you bet, but the Andersen is no different than my previous conventional hitch. Regardless of hitch, there is a need to be careful when other variables come into play while backing a trailer.
So true. I did have 1 cab contact but it was the "service departments" fault. To test drive and check my trailer brakes they removed the "Adapter", did not tell me and reinstalled the adapter backward. It did not cross my mind to check the adapter installation when I picked up the trailer.
