I wonder if she knows about the three RINGS of marriage:

You have the Engagement RING
You have the wedding RING
You have the sufferRING

Do you4self a favor and buy a 5th wheel hitch with the underbed mounting rails. That way you can easily remove the hitch and leave the bed completely available for other things.

How long are the megacabs, or long bed quad cab? In the summer I haul our ranger and mower on a 16ft trailer and the jetskis behind that. I did it with my fords with no problem, but i only had the shortbed. I have only had my truck since october so i havnt had the honor of towing all ofit yet.I am looking into getting a 34ftgooseneck trailer so I can just drive the ranger and jetskis and haul them all down the road on one trailer . It makes an exciting trip hauling 2 trailers doesnt it. Make sure no one has to pee because it can be mighty hard at times trying to getin and out of places sometimes.

LOL... Been with him for 6-8 years (I forgot!) who needs a ring? Well a ring would be ok, but marriage NAAAA! Don't need no piece of paper to say who's toys are who's when we split up then you spend more money fighting for them and you could have just went out and got new ones by the time its all said and done. My parents want me to get married but daddy said it definately changes things- and we already live together.

Plus they say a ring never plugsa hole!

I have been looking at hitches in the classifieds and have not seen one yet for the underbed. Sounds great as I use my bed quite a bit.

As for turning around with one.. it barely missed his back window as it's a shortie! But turns awesome but all will change when we get the boat or second trailer behind. OUCH!!! Already went in an entrance and it touched his tailgate, thank goodness for plastic liners!!!

Drew- ours here is 65'. but my truck and boat will probably put 3-4 feet past limit. OOOPPS!!
He said he called 4 highway patrol offices and noone knew the correct length- that might tell us something!

You'll definitely want a slider hitch then. Take a look at the Reese Superglide 16k.
