Hey Tom, great question! Until recently the Patriot # BWRVK3255 would have been the only option. The Patriot is nice but the you're limited to 18,000 lbs. B&W now has the rail mounted Companion # BW52AR which will fit the above bed rails in your 2024 Ford F-250 and can handle up to 20,000 lbs. This is compatible with any industry standard rail system.
Any big trips coming up with your 5th wheel this summer?
