From what I could find out about where your SteelCraft brush guard installs, there doesn't look to be a way to get a hitch installed as well. The EcoHitch # EH59FR will install in the exact same place so it would need to be one or the other, unfortunately.

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.…

Great questions! Reese actually makes the OEM puck system for Ford so if the 2022 F-250 is cheaper by a lot then I recommend going that route and installing the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit #RP87FR. The only thing you'll really be missing…

Answer 12

You do not have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in a short bed truck. In many cases, truck beds shorter than 8 ft do not have enough clearance between the trailer and truck to execute sharp turns. This is why sliding hitches were invented. Due to…
