5th wheel hitch
i am thinking about buying a truck with the rails already installed. Are hitches universal. Can i buy a hitch and will it fit.
Forum Discussion
- Some 5th wheel hitches use rails, some pugs (factor Ford prep) and some attach to the gooseneck hitch like the Companion by Reese. The capabilities of the hitch and truck is more important than if it comes with a set of rails. Many avoid rails in the bed so they can use the bed for other work.
- as long as it is setup to go into rails... there are some design specific to the newer mounting systems such as pucks/pins from the factory.
I believe some have their own custom hitches/mounting rails.
I have a Curt Q24 that aligns with the universal rails.
