Hey Ian, are you asking about the fifth wheel prep package? If thats the case just look in the bed of the truck. If you see a square of pucks over the rear axle with one also in the center that's the OEM prep package. See the attached picture to see what it looks like. Are you looking for a fifth wheel hitch recommendation? If so, the Companion part # BWRVK3600 is a really nice option!
