im going thru reeses product line and the hitches they show for my show lol i cant find..the one i have bolted on maybe an old model or something their website is sorta odd.. oh well heres a random thought,.....
ive always been told a short bed is anything under the 8ft bed of a long bed of a full size truck.. but someone was telling me that a short bed is a 4.5 ft bed while my 6.5 bed is considered a standard bed .. so makes me curious to my whole hitch buying experience @ AZ.. when they looked at my truck and said yep short bed.. and picked up the hitch for me and then the hitch rec is not flush with bumper..so damn maybe wrong size hitch >?
