Question:

I am looking at the Demco Autoslide with the underbed rail kit and wanted to know if that would work with the Firestone f2600 airbags I already have on my truck.

The towing capacity of your 2019 Ford F-250 Crew Cab Powerstroke with the 6-3/4' bed will vary from 14,100-16,600 lbs depending on drive type, axle ratio, and gross combined weight rating. If you can provide me with this information I would be happy to provide you with an exact capacity. The axle ratio should be listed on a tag inside the glove box and the gross combined weight rating should be listed on a tag inside the driver door jamb but if not you can always call the dealer with your VIN and ask.

The best 5th wheel hitch for you is also going to vary based on whether or not you have the factory puck system. If you do then I recommend the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16540 and part # C16020 but if you do not then I recommend the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16541 and part # BWRVK2402. The reason I like the A20 is because it has interlocking 1" thick dual jaws which are going to do a phenomenal job of reducing chucking/jarring and it has an easy to use one pin head removal system which allows for one person to install/remove it.

I have attached a review video for you as well.

I do have an option for you but the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2600 that you have on your truck will not work with any aftermarket 5th wheel hitches because they install in the same space. Therefore, you would need to remove them in order to tow a 5th wheel trailer. However, you can replace them with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57391 for 2WD or part # AL57399 for 4WD. These kits both mount on the bottom side of the frame which means you can then use them with a 5th wheel hitch. The correct Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with the Underbed Rail and Installation Kit is part # DM8550022 and part # DM8551009.

Hey Miguel, this is a great question but I think your first though of going with the B and W setup is the best. So for that you'd want the part #BWRVK3500 for the fifth wheel hitch and then for the rail kit that also doubles as a gooseneck hitch…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

Hi Frank; the #RP74FR (68204) and #SWW-06 look different because they are a little different. The #RP74FR is only designed to work with the 68220 and 69220. If you have a different Sidewinder this wedge will not fit. It also fits a wider range of 5th…
