Question 330rl pin height

I have a 330rl on order and was wondering if anyone knows pin height and overhang height from ground when level?

Thanks

2255lbs is the listed dry weight for hitch pin.

No idea on the ground height but I would think its pretty close (within a few inches) of every single Montana 5er built for 2019. If you have a Ford F350 SRW your 5er will ride nose high. An F250 will squat enough that your 5er will be level but the truck will be nose high.

Never depend on published weights. Weigh it for yourself! If trying to decide between 3/4T and 1 T truck spend the few extra $ for the 1T. Just saying don't make the same mistakes I did.

You will be a little nose high just like the rest of us with a F350 SRW.
I was worried at first but after a couple trips and monitoring tire temps
and pressure, I no longer care that its not perfectly level.
Best part is, nor do the tires.

I've found very little variance between front and rear tires being a little nose high. MUCH more variance between sides where one is in the sun and the other is not.

No sorry I don't know the height from ground. You will need around 6" between the top of your truck bed rails and the bottom of the over hang of the camper. You will more than likely have to adjust once you get hooked up and see for yourself.

I'm not familiar with your hitch but if you are too nose high with your hitch adjusted to its lowest point you can also adjust the pin box up on the trailer. Its trial and error for most of us. We just purchased our Montana as well and had to make adjustments from our previous 5er.

Just takes a little time but once hooked up and measured between the bed rails and camper, you will know exactly what you need to do. And don't fret too much over being slightly nose high on the 5er.
