Ford 5th-Wheel/Gooseneck Trailer Tow Prep Package

I bought the adaptor for my Reese from etrailer. Very easy setup.

My 2012 F350 factory prep looks just like the ones above, 4 holes for the 5th wheel hitch "puck" mounting system, one center hole for the gooseneck ball.

You will either need a hitch designed for the factory prep system, or an adapter for your old hitch.

Hensley's Trailer Saver 5th Wheel hitch has an adaptor plate you put down first.

Without the hitch, in the bed. Ready for removal.

We have the Ford factory prep package with the factory supplied Reese drop in 25,000 lb rated hitch. It's a nice set up.

Rusty is showing the prep for the RAM 13 and newer trucks. The Ford has a much narrower attachment front to back than the RAM. I assume this is why B&W rates the Ford hitch much less than the RAM drop in hitch.

Be sure to look at the B&W hitches available for the puck system. None better IMHO.

With the right hitch you just remove the covers on the holes and drop the hitch right in. The rails are already installed. You won't be able to use a hitch not designed for this. Pullrite, B&W, and Reese make hitches for this prep package. I know there are some other hitches designed to install in the prep package.

I think there are some adapters available that let you use some other hitches. I don't know anything about those other than the fact that they exist.

It takes us less than 10 minutes to install or remove our Pullrite.

Here's what you will see:
