Expert Reply:

While we do have some replacement pin boxes for the Rhino pin box, we'll have to look at an alternative setup since there are no Sidewinder replacements for your application.

For your application you can use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide which essentially accomplishes the same thing as the Sidewinder pin box for your short bed 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty.

If you have the OEM puck system on your F-350 then you can use the 18K # DM8550024 or 21K # DM8550038 Hijacker depending on the weight of your trailer. These fit directly to the pucks on your truck so you don't need any kind of adapter rails or anything. If you don't already have a rail system on your truck then the Reese # RP87FR is the same as the OEM puck system so I recommend using this.

You also need the Demco Autoslide Locking Plate for Lippert Rhino Pin Boxes # DM76FR for this system to work properly together.
