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.

Answer 1

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 Mike, so if the Pullrite Superglide was one of the ISR style hitches that were designed for the industry standard above bed rails yes it would work great with the B and W Fifth Wheel Rail Kit #BWRVK2402. If it's one that was designed to fit…

The OEM prep package consists of 4 "pucks" in the bed of the truck that will allow you to drop in puck style hitches for easy installation and removal, that gives you a completely clear bed when not in use. The B&W Companion OEM 5th…

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.…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

Hey Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect…

Hi Frank; the #RP74FR (68204) and #SWW-06 look different because they are a little different. The #RP74FR is only designed to work with the 68220 and 69220. If you have a different Sidewinder this wedge will not fit. It also fits a wider range of 5th…

The B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt #BWRVR3200 will fit your 2018 Ford F-250 with aluminum bed but B&W doesn't recommend it. You will want to use some sort of spacers/isolators that…

Hi Seth! The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs #BWRVK3270 will fit any industry standard rails (also referred to as ISR) perfectly, but there are technically a few rails out there that it will not fit. Those…

Hey Tom, congrats on the new truck! Typically when we hear that someone has the OEM tow prep package they mean the puck system. This is going to be five circular holes built into the bed of your Ram truck and is by far the best way to attach a 5th…
