• Compatible Puck Adapter B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch
  The B&W Patriot Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch, part # BWRVK3270 is NOT compatible with the Reese # RP30156 puck adapter, you'll want to use the Demco # DM6175, which is compatible. If you don't have a 7-way in your truck bed, you can install one using part # 50-97-410-010. I've linked to some product videos for the products mentioned above

  First, let's start with if you can use a sliding hitch in a long bed, and yes you definitely can, you simply won't use the slide feature but otherwise it will work exactly the same.

• Can 18K Demco Hijacker Be Adapted to Fit Puck System on 2020 Ford F-250
  Yes, fortunately, you do have a couple of options that will allow you to use your Demco Hijacker 18K Fifth Wheel # DM8550034 on your 2020 Ford F-250 with the OEM Prep Package. Your first option is to use the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6175, which would drop into the four pucks on your bed and give you the same connection points as standard above bed rails so you can attach your hitch to it. Your second option is to replace the standard side plates currently on your Hijacker with...

• Switching From Reese Sidewinder To Sliding 5th Wheel In 2020 Ford F-250 With OEM Prep
  Hey Jim, welcome back! If you think a camera would be enough to make this easier for you that is the most cost effective solution. Something like the Custom Third Brake Light Camera for 8" Factory Monitor # 3460001 (I'm assuming this is your 2020 F-250) would let you see the truck bed for easier hookups. The sliding 5th wheel hitch will get you the clearance you need. However, switching to a B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 won't be possible with that existing adapter because it doesn't have the...

  We have the Husky Silver Series 26K W 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 26,000 lbs # HT31318-31325 but not the OEM Hitch.

I've attached a photo of the two pages of the instructions that specifically show the installation into the pucks. We also have adapters like the...

• Is the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter Compatible with a Pullrite SuperGlide
  I called Demco to check the compatibility between the 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ford OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 25,000 lbs, part # DM6175, and a Pullrite SuperGlide. They have had no reports of these two not being compatible, so there are only two things you need to make sure of so that this adapter can be used: 1. Make sure the Pullrite SuperGlide is industry-standard, meaning the measurements are at the standard for 5th hitches and not something very unique. This can be either...

• Troubleshooting the Demco 5th Wheel Adapter Rails part # DM615 Not Fitting Into Ford Pucks
  Hi Paul, If you're having trouble getting all four feet to set into the pucks, set the Demco 5h Wheel Rail Adapter part # DM6175 over the bed with all four locking handles in the unlocked position. Try getting all four feet into the pucks before turning any of the handles. If they still aren't lining up, check the adjustment at each puck, the hardware is designed to be adjusted during initial installation at the attachment points. We've had other instances where adjustments to the mounting...

• Will Demco Rail Adapter # DM6175 Fit Reese Elite Pucks on 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500
  The pucks for the Reese Elite systems are in the same exact location as the Ford Factory Rail Kit pucks. This means that the Demco 5th Wheel Adapter for Ford OEM Prep Package # DM6175, which is indeed a bit shorter than the Reese # RP30156, will fit the Reese Elite Under-Bed Rail System on your Silverado 3500 perfectly. This will allow you to use your existing hitch (as long as it attaches to industry-standard rails) while keeping the overall height as low-profile as possible. The correct...

• How to Convert 18K Demco Hijacker to Fit Puck System on a 2019 Ford F-250 with a 6-3/4' Bed
  We do have a few options for you to get your 18K Demco Hijacker # DM8550034 to fit the puck system on your 2019 Ford F-250 with the 6-3/4' bed! Your current system uses the side plates # DM6003 which are compatible with the standard base rails like you said. For your Hijacker to work with your puck system you can either swap out those side plates with the part # DM6033, which will give you the same setup as part # DM8550024, or you can just use the Rail Adapter # DM6175.

• Is the Reese Elite Puck System for Chevy the Same Exact Configuration as the OEM GM Puck System?
  The Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30868 are not the same puck configuration as the Factory GM puck system. However, they are in the same configuration as the Ford Factory puck System, so even if the Elite underbed system is used on a Chevy like the # RP30868 is intended for, you would use the 5th wheel hitch compatible with Ford OEM pucks for the perfect fit. So for your 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500, the Reese Elite rail...

• Factory Prep Package Puck Adapter to Universal 5th Wheel Rail Compatible Hitch for Ford, Ram & Chevy
  The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch # C16265 will work with an adapter for the puck systems. You simply need to recognize that some adapters will limit the towing capacity. Curt is one of the hitches that uses legs compatible with the different pucks, so I will give you both options. For a Ram, you will use Reese adapter # RP30154 or Demco # DM6099. You can alternatively use the Curt legs # C16021 which will mount directly to your pucks. For a Chevy or GMC, you will use the Curt OEM 5th Wheel...

• How to Use a Demco Hijacker FWH-24P with Ford OEM Pucks
  The Demco Hijacker FWH-24P Hitch Head that you referenced could have came with either a UL base which mounts using horizontal rails or an SL base which using vertical rails. If you have the UL base then yes, you can use the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ford OEM part # DM6175. However, if you have the SL base then the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ford OEM will not work for you nor would there be a way to reuse this hitch on your 2018 Ford F-250 with the factory prep package.

• Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Compatibility with Ford OEM Gooseneck Hitch
  For your Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch # AM3200 you will need rails unless you get the full 5th wheel puck system. The OEM gooseneck hitch is not compatible with any adapter.

  Yes, the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 21,000 lbs part # DM8550045-5W will fit the 6-3/4 foot bed as long as it has the OEM prep package with a 2-5/16" factory ball. However, the fixed hitch may not provide the amount of clearance you need to make sharp turns with your trailer. We do recommend at least 6" from the bed rails to the overhang of the fifth wheel trailer and 4-5" between the tailgate and the trailer for turning clearance. I have attached a diagram...

• Can Demco SL Series 5th Wheel Hitch Fit Puck System of 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty Long Bed
  That is a good question, though Demco has confirmed for us that the SL Series of 5th wheel hitches cannot be used with trucks that have the puck systems like your 2019 Ford F-350. The issue is that the SL Series of hitches mount to their own style of base rails, and what adapters like the # DM6175 do is mount in the pucks and simulate above-bed base rails. There isn't a separate adapter like that which the SL Series of hitches can mount to. So you will indeed need a new 5th wheel hitch...

  I believe the factory Ford 5th Wheel Prep didn't enter the market until 2011. So I wonder if someone installed the same OEM style system or did a different underbed mounting system.
