Question:
Hi. I am interested in buying the Anderson Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter. I am also planning to buy the BandW Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches Item # BWRVK2401 for my 2016 Ford Super Duty truck. Just checking to make sure the rail kit and the Anderson hitch are compatible. I read a review that said they had to do some grinding to get their Anderson hitch to fit theyre rails. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Yes, you will be able to use the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 with the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2401 on your 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty. Both these items use the industry standard measurements for the mounting points. It is best to place the Andersen hitch in the rails before you tighten everything in place. This will ensure that it fits properly as there is some play in the bolt holes that is likely the reason the other person had grind to get them to fit.
You will need the Andersen Ultimate Safety Chain Kit # RM3230 as safety chains are required with any ball connection when trailer towing.
