Question on Selling FW Hitch

Our camper was unfortunately caught up in a flood and totaled. We have decided to down grade back to a TT for the time being, and knowing we'll have it the next few years at very minimum, I think i'm going to sell my hitch.

Am I expected to remove the rails from my PU bed when selling, or in most cases does the hitch go and the rails stay?

My rails are bolted in from the inside of the bed, but the mounts are welded to my truck frame.

  • The buyer wanted my rails when he bought the hitch. I had the hitch off and he removed the rails. Hope you get more than I did for mine ($100.00)
  • Does the buyer want the rails? You could remove them if you wish but leave the brackets. I wouldn't want them welded on, it might compromise the frame strength
  • When we purchased our Anderson Ultimate, we sold our old hitch on craigslist without the rails. It sold in 2 days and the guy showed up to pick it up from 4 hours away. He had cash in hand.
  • If the rails are a universal fit, which many are, I'd say it's up to you the seller, if you want to include them in the sale. If they are a more specific design that is made for just your brand/model hitch, then IMO, they should stay with the hitch.

    Don’t have an answer but I am curious is the welding mentioned on your 16 RAM?
