WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM TURNING ANGLE BETWEEN MY 2005 F-250 SHORTBED TRUCK AND THE TRAILER. THANK YOU
|
About a quarter inch less than I tried to turn. And thus the reason I now have the superglide auto slider.
When Montana first came out with the new nose they had a picture of a Chevy shortbed turned as sharply as possible. They said it was 88 degrees. But your Ford and my Dodge will be slightly less than that. I used to tow this Montana with a Ford shortbed.
Keep in mind, that 88 degrees was on absolutely flat terrain. What got me was terrain that was not quite flat. When the truck rear wheel started going uphill over a slant curb, it tilted truck into Montana. I was very lucky. My wife saw it happening and screamed for me to stop. We have just a small dimple in the truck to show what happened.
