Question:

I have a 2014 open Range 396flr 5th wheel. I have used Anderson ultimate hitch the metal one in my older truck. I have a new 2024 2500hd Chevy with 6.6’ bed with the factory puck system. Is there a way I can use the ultimate hitch I have and use the oem puck system ? Thanks

Hey Brent! It sounds like you have the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System # AM3200 which fits industry standard rails. The Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C88KR you were looking at is the solution. This will fit the puck system on your truck and provide you with rails to mount your Andersen hitch.

Any big trips planned with your 5th wheel this summer?

How does the Anderson hitch connect to the curt 5th shell adapter rail.

My Anderson hitch hooks to a ball in the bottom of the bed. So looks like I will need both of them. Am I correct?

@Brent so it is the one that hooks up to a gooseneck ball like the # 3220? I have no way of knowing exactly which version you had. If you were connecting to a gooseneck ball in the truck before you can use the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 which will also fit the puck system and allow you to mount the Andersen.
