Question:
Hi there, I currently own a 99 f350 with a curt A20 hitch. Im looking to upgrade to a 2017 f350 with the factory puck system. Is there a way to make that factory setup compatible with my A20 hitch? Thanks for your time. Simon

I have 2 options for you Simon to mount your Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch # C16140 in your 2017 Ford F-350 with the factory puck system. The first and easiest is the Adapter Rails # C88KR which you found. This will mount into your 4 outer factory puck holes and gives you the same mounting points your Curt hitch fits into. Do understand this will add 2-1/2" to the height of your hitch so you may need to adjust your mounting holes.
We also have the Legs # C16017 you can mount to your Head # C16540 to so the hitch will more easily drop into the mounting holes and you will not have to worry about the adapter additional height or taking it in and out with the hitch if you constantly remove your hitch when not needed.

Hey Bud! Thanks for the prompt reply and good info. I'll have to think a minute about which option suits me better. Just to clarify... if I went with the legs, would I have to unbolt them from beneath to remove the hitch assembly? The positive being that I would have a flat bed... Whereas with the track system I would retain the 4 pin removal system in the bed for the hitch unit however I'd have taller rails bolted "permanently" in place unless I unbolted them from below... Am I seeing that correctly? Thanks! Simon
