Here is a better Demco picture frame adapter. Rated to 25K vs 20K for the one above and sits down closer to bed floor, which in many cases is important for leveling the hitch/pin box/trailer.

I can not find the height measurement for the Demco one, however the other one above is listed as 3". I believe that the Demco one is 1.5-2" above the bed. I have the RAM Demco one.Chris
I am sure the Demco is a great adapter, I have the Reese,,and IMO is equal , and its the same weight rating 25K, and sits 2" above the bed. The Reese adapter as you said for the ford is 3", and could be a factor ,although we are talking 1", and the 20K rating , if that is an issue, and thats a big if .
Reese adapters are as solid as any ,have used mine now for 5years. Not sure why such a price difference Demco for that ford is 467.95, Reese is 298.80 ,both from Tweety's . Free shipping
That is 169.15 difference in price, there isn't 15 cents difference in them , other then if as said the 25K rating is needed .
Just having an adapter, and only one brand the Reese, I see no reason for spending more on it then needed .
