Hello Toni,

It all depends on whether or not your 2017 Ford F250 has the OEM Prep Package (puck system) or not. If you have the Prep Package you will have the 5 holes in the bed of your truck, middle hole would be for a gooseneck ball, and the other 4 holes are for a 5th wheel hitch.

If you do have the Prep Package then the # PUL73RR would install directly into the pucks.

If you do NOT have the Prep Package then you will want # PUL75RR, this part number will be the hitch and the rails for your 2017 F250.

If you are looking to add a 7 way to the bed of your truck if you do not have one already, you will want the # C57008.

You will also need a capture plate, if you could please comment which one you have I will get that part number to you as well.

I just got to go down and play with the PullRite SuperGlide last week. It is an amazing system and you will not be disappointed! Are you new to the 5th wheel world, or are you a seasoned adventurer?

Hi Toni, how did things go with the PullRite SuperGlide for your F250? Did you end up needing the version with the rails or the one that fits the factory puck system? Your update could make it easier for others setting up a similar truck.

Hey Ron! Between the three I would choose the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider #DM8550024. I like the autoslide feature, which you can find with the PullRite SuperGlide #PUL73RR as well. However, the Demco also has an adjustable height…

Hey Gary, I really like B and W fifth wheel hitches like the Patriot part #BWRVK3255 if you have a set of above bed rails or the Companion hitches are really nice too but they are designed to fit OEM puck kits or their Turnoverball rail kits. If I…

Hey Joe, great question! I actually talked to one of the B&W reps about this exact thing when they were here a while back. For the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch #BWRVK3300, the best place to start is the middle position (A). That’s the…

Since we don't carry the PullRite line I can't really speak to their quality but from what I can see from there website their 2900 model is fairly similar to the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider #DM89GV. Both hitches offer 14"…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hey Paul, we have great hitch solutions for the OEM pucks of your 2024 Ford F-350 short bed but whether or not you need a slider hitch is going to be based on the design of the trailer you plan to tow. Normally with a short bed truck you need a…

Hey Jeff. The Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs item #AL83DQ, you were looking at, are compatible with the B&W item #BW73FR, however they are only for the dually models of the 2025 Ford F-350. For the non-dually F-350…
