Question:
I have the demco 8550046 for a recessed gooseneck ball. I have swapped my truck back to my dually bed, 2020 Ford F350, does not have the 5th wheel prep package on it. What is my best and cheapest option for this truck? Do they make a different base for the hitch I have with frame rails to fit the truck? Or do I need to buy a complete 5th wheel hitch with rails? Options? Thanks

Expert Reply:
You could swap the base of your Demco Recon Recessed Hitch Adapter part # DM8550046 for the part # DM6180 which would then just require a base rail kit for your 2020 Ford F-350 like the custom fit # DM8552031-71 and you'd be set.
