Transfering Hitch

If I was a bettin' man, I'd say no. If you have the factory 5th wheel pkg, that's set up for the "puck" type hitch so your current one probly won't work. Others w/ more experience w/ this should chime in. My truck didn't have the 5th wheel pkg, so had to mount the rails to frame and drill holes up thru box.

If your truck has the 5er puck prep sell your existing hitch and get the B&W Ford puck hitch, you WILL thank me!

This ^^^^ B&W 3300 for OEM Ford pucks. About $950 free shipping.

No your current hitch rails will not fit the Ford puck system.

You can also get an adapter to fit the pucks in the new truck then you can attach your old hitch to it.

Not sure where to post this... Have a 99 F350 crew cab with a 18,000 lb Draw-Tight 5th wheel hitch. Looking at a 2016 F350 with the 5th wheel package. Will the pre drilled holes in the new truck bed line up with the draw-tight rails? Are those holes only for a hitch from Ford? Man, talk about stick price shock... Thanks for any responses..

I would contact Drawtite folks on their 1-800 number as they will know what you have and what you need....

Simple
1. By a new hitch with the legs that are integrated on the hitch frame made for the trucks puck system.
2. By a picture frame adapter that also fits the pucks that should accommodate your existing hitch.
3. By a hitch that will use the gooseneck ball such as an Anderson ultimate or B&W companion.

Option 2 is the most economical and logical choice if your happy with your current hitch. If not then sell it and go with 1 or 3. The B&W companion is a hoss of a hitch that you will be very hard pressed to find any negatives on

Really these are your only logical choices. Absolutely no way I'd put rails in a brand new truck that has the fifth wheel/gooseneck prep package. I'm not even sure you can.

Pretty sure eTrailer.com sells a rail frame that fits the puck system if you really want tho keep your existing hitch and, that hitch fits a standard bed rail setup

I just typed B&W rvk3300 from amazon, and it is first on list. That is a great price, and a much better route than using adapters, to make the old hitch work.
