does the ez fold system fold back far enough to use a gooseneck on a 2013 ram 2500 with a 8ft bed?

possibly, it's approx 32 inches from the front edge. The cover goes on and off very easy, you could remove and put it in your rig. It would take no more than 2 minutes to take off, and very light...

I didn't like this one because the gooseneck lets in the way and is not as flexible as i thought its a good piece for a small car but a big suv like i have no i bought the $79.95 metal one that breaks down and is longer so my i pad is closer to me and what i do is fold it down flat when not in use and un clip the i pad holder part and put that in the glove box so basically its not even noticeable when not in use but that is the $79.95 metal one not this model here ok good luck

You can fold it all the way back if you unfasten the rear support rod. That is how I trailer it. I Wouldn't trust the sturdiness of it at highway speeds when it is up.

Absolutely!! If you detach the receiver bar the rack becomes easier to maneuver and lighter. An adjustable wrench on one bolt is all it takes. I didn't measure it but I'd guess that folded it takes a space about 10 x 10 x 36. It's a great rack! Good luck.Rick

I have a coachmen freedom express which I believe is the same width wheelbase. This chock works great. The threaded part rubs again the bracket that holds the wheel fascia but it works fine for me. I don't fold it flat each time because it takes a bit to open it up. I loosen it just enough to remove it and store it open.

my 2013 Ram has bed liner and the cover fit. Instructions said that you may have to cut a bit of the liner out so the clamps have good connection to the bed, I did not have to do that. That could be because of the design or the previous owner already did that. By looking at the quality of the cut I believe it is manufactured that way.

all comments are correct. It is a tough little thing. So folding isn't part of that. The big boom comes off. Do a search for WeeHoo roof rack. There is a guy that recorded a video on how he made a roof rack work. I might do the same. mostly we have just rode it around our house. So I haven't worked on that yet.

No. It does fold up with quick release pins, but it still is 8 or 9 inches tall folded. Might not fit, under all but the tallest beds.

Hi Harry, I had mine set up on my 2006 Ram 2500, quad cab with a short bed. The tent was fantastic! It fit well, looked great and was a pleasure to camp in. The only thing you may want to consider is the possibility of needing different C - clamps than the ones that come with the tent (they're small). The reason I had to get larger C - clamps was because I had a tonneau cover and the small clamps wouldn't fit over the mounting rail for the cover and still reach where they needed to. All - in - all, the clamps were a small expense and I was able to pick them up at my local hardware store. The advice I would give you is to set it up at least once at home and season the canvas (get it wet and let it dry) before going out to use it the first time. The setup isn't all that difficult but the first time will take you three times as long as the second and you'll make small adjustments. For example, during my first setup, i didn't have the text evenly tightened on each side so it looked a little crooked. Another lesson i learned was that the mounting rails for the tent should be about 9" from the most rearward point of your bed rail. Enjoy the tent if you get it. I would still be enjoying it if i had a pickup.

Yes, it is not a perfect fit. basically need to fold it a third of the way back to fit right. I like it.

To the best of my knowledge it does not. Yes there is a fold up, but not a tilt away. If you are getting into a trunk it seems like you would still be able to do that since it lifts straight up. My SUV has a door that open out so with bikes on and no tilt away you can't open that back tailgate. With bikes off, no problem with access. Careful using this rack with Mt. Bikes. The shocks and fat tires are not a fit for this rack.

Thank you for your question. The gooseneck on this product is 12-inches long.

No reason it shouldn't. Base of the gooseneck will be at roughly the same height whether trailer or rv,

Yes, I drove ~400 miles with it in the "up" and folded position, no issues. Just buy a locking trailer hitch bolt

Yes. It's able to fold back and isn't all that cumbersome. The new issue I had been having was the power supply running low because of the constant pressing of the power button. That was easily solved by me just cutting a piece out of the spine at the very top. Didn't ruin the aesthetics. And worked out in the end.

Yes. When it folds down it is way over the side. As long as it will fold down without any problem it is correct. You have to pull the part you sit on up to get the back to fold down. If it works it is correct. Merry Christmas. Blair

the front folds back to the radar position and then if you loosen the two back legs it will fold all the way back to the rail.i liked this top as it was lilghter than my original and has given me good service for the last few years.
