Heavy Duty 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for a 2025 Ford F-450 Super Duty
Updated 11/03/2025 | Published 12/20/2024
Question:
Hey all! I'll be getting a 2025 Ford F-450 Super Duty and I want to get a really heavy duty 5th wheel hitch that fits directly to the OEM puck system. What do you recommend?

Hey Larry, thanks for reaching out!
I recommend going with the Reese M5 # RP68FR because it has the highest weight rating at 32,000 lbs. It also mounts directly to the puck system on your 2025 F-450 so it will be a pretty simple installation. Another thing I really like about this hitch is the single jaw connection it makes with the king pin. It just hugs it really well and makes towing a lot smoother than the dual jaw hitches.
