Question:
I have 1 2020 ram 3500 dually with factory tow package. I bought a rese 27k toe hitch that fits with the factory pucks. Is there a rail adapter that I can put in my 2000 f250 7.3l diesel to fit this hitch?

Expert Reply:
There's not an adapter but there is a way to mount your Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # RP37FR to a set of 5th wheel rails in your 2000 Ford F-250. You can swap out the legs that fit the Ram puck system with the Replacement Legs for Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # RP96FR. These legs have the same 27,000 lbs capacity and work with industry standard base rails.
The Replacement Legs item # RP96FR swap out pretty easily so it wouldn't take too long to get the ones for the Ram puck system back on when you want to tow with your Ram dually.
