• What Are Mounting Puck Dimensions of Demco Hijacker UMS Series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
  I appreciate you getting me the picture of your dimensions but it's not totally clear exactly what you have dimensionall. Instead check out the picture I attached that shows the dimensions of the mounts on the Demco # DM5988 that you referenced. What is the year/make/model of the truck? It looks like a factory rail kit from Ford, GM, or Dodge but I'd need to know what you have to be sure.

• Handles on Ford OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Will Not Close with Pucks on a 2008 Ford F-250/350
  The factory puck system was not offered on Ford trucks until 2011 so what you have is likely the older Reese Signature Series which is very similar. However, as you have come to find out the old Reese Signature Series pucks are not the same as the new Reese Elite Series pucks which is why you are having issues. Unfortunately, they do not make any adapters or new bolts for this so your best option would be to obtain the Reese Elite Series Underbed Mounting System, part # RP30073. This will...

• Adapters to Allow Towing Gooseneck Trailer with 5th Wheel Hitch and Base Rails
  If you have a set of industry-standard above-bed 5th wheel base rails in your truck you can tow a gooseneck trailer by installing an adapter such as the Curt Spyder # 16085 or the Curt 25k # 16055. All of these 5th wheel rail gooseneck adapters are standardized to fit into any brand of 5th wheel base rails. Note that some of these like the Pro Series have offset ball placement which gives you the option to install the plate with the ball either more forward or more rearward which alters...

• Recommendation for 2015 Ford F-350 w/ Factory Puck System Towing 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer
  Although the Reese Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, # RP58079, will not work with the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter, # RP30156, I do have a solution for you. Instead, I recommend going with the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Head Kit, # RP30138, in your 2015 Ford F-350 with the factory puck system. This offers a bolt-in, no drill installation which means you won't have to drill into the frame of your truck. Just one hole in the bed for the gooseneck ball...

• Can I Put A B&W Turnover Ball In My 2019 F-350 With The Factory Puck System?
  No, you would not be able to install an aftermarket gooseneck hitch like the # BWGNRK1108 on a truck that already has the factory puck system. Parts of the puck system would obstruct both the frame brackets and crossmembers of the gooseneck hitch. The puck system would have to be completely removed, which in my opinion is not a logical thing to do and would be way more trouble than it is worth. If the factory puck system has a gooseneck ball spot already you can just drop in the B&W gooseneck...

• Recommended Puck Adapter for 2015 GMC 2500 with 4-Puck Factory Look System
  Based on the year, the system is most likely not a factory system. GMC and Chevy did not have a factory puck system until 2016 and it included the gooseneck puck so there were 5 holes. If you have the 4 pucks it most likely is the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30868 which is confirmed to fit your truck. For a compatible gooseneck hitch, I recommend the Reese Elite Series Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch - 25,000 lbs # RP30845....

• Recommended Reese Elite Gooseneck Hitch for Reese Elite Under-Bed Rails # RP30073
  I do have a solution for you, however the Reese Under-Bed Rails # RP30073 that you have installed on your truck are not compatible with the Reese Elite Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Head Kit # RP30138 referenced in your question. The gooseneck hitch will not be able to mount between the rails of this system. I instead recommend the Reese Elite Series Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # RP30845. This has the same 25,000 pound towing capacity as the kit you were looking at and is confirmed to...

• Adding Gooseneck Ball to Aftermarket Puck System in 2019 Ford F-250
  The only underbed puck system we offer for the 2019 Ford F-250 is the Reese Underbed Gooseneck Hitch/Puck system, part # RP39FR which includes the gooseneck hitch.

• Ford Puck System With Only 4 Pucks - Can I Tow A Gooseneck Trailer?
  I do have a potential solution for you, but we do not offer any kind of OEM puck system for your truck. There is going to be a way that you can pull a gooseneck trailer with your current setup.

• Reese Rail Kit Recommendation thats Same As Ford Factory Rail Kit in 2019 Ford F-250
  So Reese is who makes the factory Ford fifth wheel rail kits so that means that the Ford Elite Underbed rail kit part # RP87FR would be what you'd want. This will give you the same exact hitch as what the Ford rail kit offers at a better price. To add the gooseneck hitch you'd then want the part # RP30845. This rail kit will fit any of the fifth wheel hitches designed to fit the Ford factory rail kit but the one we recommend the highest is the B and W Companion Hitch for Ford Rail Kits...

• Removing Reese Elite Series Above Bed Gooseneck Hitch from Truck Bed After Use
  If you are speaking of the Reese Elite Series Above Bed Gooseneck part # RP30845, removal is pretty simple. Remove the locking pin from the anchor handle on each side of the gooseneck hitch. Then, rotate each locking handle to its unlocked position, which would be perpendicular to the hitch itself. Lift one end of the hitch out of the mounts, and then repeat for the other side. Sometimes the locking handles will need to be jiggled a bit to align the anchors with the opening in the mounting...

• Is a Sidewinder Pin Box Compatible With a B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch?
  To use any Sidewinder pin box, you will not be able to keep your B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck hitch because it is not made for the torque when turning required for that system. No adapter will solve this. However, there is still a way to allow you to tow a gooseneck trailer using a 5th wheel rail kit. You have a couple options. If you want to keep a clean bed, then you can use the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30074 to give you...

• What Rails Does the Reese Elite Gooseneck Adapter part # RP30845 Fit
  The Reese Elite Gooseneck adapter part # RP30845 that you referenced does not come with fifth wheel rails.

• Help Identifying Puck System In A Used Truck
  Hey Cameron, that looks an awful lot like an aftermarket puck system made by Reese. You could confirm this by either looking under the truck for some kind of label on the brackets. Or you can measure the distance between the holes. They should be 30" apart across on center and 13" front to back on center (see picture below). If this is correct it means it is a Reese underbed puck system, which has an identical footprint as the Ford OEM puck system. What kind of trailer do you need to pull?...
