Switching tow vehicles

Hey everyone. Quick question for those in the know. I’ve seen the light and just purchased a new Ford Super Duty replacing my 1/2 ton tow vehicle. I have a Pull-rite 3100. The new truck came with a 5th wheel prep package. Can I just swap the pull-rite into the Ford then take it to be inspected or is it more in depth? Thanks!

    Andersen does not make a hitch to fit your puck system. You need to sell your Pullrite hitch, and purchase a B&W 3300, that will be a perfect fit to your pucks. You have a great NEW TRUCK, get the best hitch for it, that is designed to drop right in.

    I called pullrite, that hitch is designed only for a 1/2 ton. Time for an Anderson!

    Call Pull-Rite customer service. Tell them your hitch model/serial number and the exact truck you bought and they will tell you exactly what you need.

    Not familiar with the 3100. But the Ford factory prep is a “puck” type system meaning the hitch must have the pins that drop thru and lock into the bed of the truck. Your hitch must have those pins, and the proper spacing to fit the Ford. Or you must buy an adapter.
