A 5th wheel tailgate will provide better turning clearance than the standard tailgate on your 2014 Ford F-150 but it is still possible that, while turning, the pin box could make contact with the tailgate.
Another option is a tailgate net, # TR-03. It will be easy to take down and put back up so as to avoid any contact with the trailer pin box. Fifth wheel tailgates such as # VG-04-4000 work best with long bed trucks since the hitches for them don't slide. view full answer...
I have some solutions to help your towing set-up, but there is no way to extend the pin box out an additional 8 inches to increase the distance between the back of the truck tailgate and the trailer.
It is not ideal to tow with your truck's tailgate down for the very issue you are experiencing. If the reason you are leaving the tailgate down is because the pin box contacts the tailgate, I have a solution for you. To offer more room for the pin box, a great solution is to replace your... view full answer...
Stromberg Carlson 100 series 5th wheel tailgate # VGM-88-100 is the only option for your 1998 Chevy K2500. It will not fit models that have a stepside bed.
You can paint the 100 series tailgate since it is powder coated steel. If you are going to use the 5th wheel tailgate often or exclusively then painting it to match the truck would be a good idea. view full answer...
I think I have an alternative solution that might work for you. Unfortunately, we do not have any hard cutout fifth-wheel tailgates that will fit your 2019 Ram 3500 dually.
However, there is a Truck Tailgate Net # TR-03 that will fit your 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty. It isn't a 5th wheel tailgate, but it will serve some of the same function of a 5th wheel tailgate (to avoid damage to the tailgate when hooked up to a trailer). view full answer...
I definitely recommend getting a 5th-wheel tailgate on your 2017 Ford F-250. The reason is because a tailgate light the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series # VG-15-100 is the only assured way to protect your factory tailgate when transporting your 5th-wheel trailer. Since you are using a different tailgate, any impact to the tailgate protects your factory gate by default. The # VG-15-100 is confirmed to fit your truck.
I went ahead and attached an installation video of the tailgate being installed... view full answer...

The only 5th wheel tailgate we have as a confirmed fit to your 2018 Ford F250 is the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Ford Trucks # VG-15-4000. It is a glass filled blow molded composite plastic that is strong-as-steel yet lightweight like aluminum.
Our manufacturer of the Aluminum tailgates no longer makes them, so they won't have a fit for the newer trucks like yours. view full answer...

In my opinion the Stromberg-Carlson 5th wheel tailgate # VGM-07-4000 is the best looking and lightest option available. That comes from the fact it is made of steel and composite material. It also means that corrosion won't be much of an issue. view full answer...
The Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches like part # C16521 have three sets of adjustment holes which are each spaced 2" apart on center. I am not sure how much additional space you will need to clear your tailgate but you can try to move the hitch head up to the highest set of adjustment holes to see if this will then allow your pin box to clear the tailgate. That said, this is also going to affect how the trailer is leveled in relation to the tow vehicle so a much better option for you is a... view full answer...
None of the tailgates that fit your 2002 Ford F-150 are designed to hold any type of load. That said, I do think the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock # VG-97-4000 is the best option since it has integrated locks to keep the tailgate locked in the closed position. This also comes with coated cables to secure the tailgate in the dropped position, whereas the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design # VG-97-100 that you were looking... view full answer...
As far as replacement tailgates we carry for your 2005 Chevy Silverado, we only carry 5th-wheel tailgates.

Also, the tailgate is constructed of a glass-filled, black composite... view full answer...
You could use a Sidewinder pin box, # RP34FR. When using a Sidewinder you will need to leave the slider locked in the towing position. Sliding it back would no longer be needed since the pivot point will be moved back 22 inches.
Any of these will move the pivot point of the trailer back 22 inches.
If you lower the tailgate when hooking up the trailer then you also may be interested in a 5th wheel tailgate. I would need to know the year, make, and model of the truck to determine if we... view full answer...

The fifth wheel tailgate I strongly recommend for your 2019 Ford F-250 is the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate # VG-15-4000 because of its strength, durability and locking feature.

The design is louvered, which means it is not a single piece it has spaces which allow air to go through it. This design improves air flow which means your '19 F-250... view full answer...
