The Ford 5th wheel prep package is good in that it gives you a cross member on the frame dedicated to the hitch. However to use any other hitch besides FORD you will need an adapter.
The makers of Air Safe Hitch, the hitch I have, does make an adapter for my hitch to fit right in the ford system. I will be ordering one.
Has anyone used an adapter for their hitch to work in the Ford system?
Just wanted to know how it worked.

I would highly recommend you look at the B&W Puck hitch for the Ford trucks. It is rated at 20K, I would not hesitate to tow over that number with THAT hitch. Reason is the REESE is rated at around 25K and is no where as stout as the B&W. Basically the B&W for the Ford is exactly the same as mine that is rated at 25K. The only difference is the space between the pucks front to back. B&W obviously thinks the spacing is important in the ratings where REESE does not.
