Patriot 18k 5th wheel hitch

Hi question for someone, we just bought a new F450 super duty pickup and we have a Patriot 18k hitch. Will this work on this new truck?

  • The question isn't really about the hitch but rather how's it's mounted. Most have either a rail system and some newer trucks have a puck mount system. Your truck may have no mounting system at all. Most hitches can use either.

  • You will need to purchase a picture frame to connect the rail system the puck system....  The DOWNSIDE to doing it that way is that will RAISE the hitch head about 2-1/2 inches and possibly have the RV pin HIGH.
