ford trailer prep pkg is confusing
I get different answers form the twenty something salemen at the dealer regarding the prep pkg above, so am asking those who know. In the bed of the truck there are bolts coming up through the bed. ...

Ah when you get the truck there will be 5 holes in the bed which will be covered with plastic covers. These are more or less right over the rear axle.
You buy a hitch designed for the prep packs (B&W, Pullrite or some others). Don't buy the Reese the dealer is selling. You remove the covers from 4 of the holes which are in a rectangle. Leave the center hole covered. You drop your hitch which will have 4 prongs on the bottom into the 4 holes. Follow the hitch manufacturer's directions to lock the hitch down. Reverse to remove. Takes maybe 10 minutes the first time.
The center hole is for a gooseneck hitch. There are no bolts or rails those are all under the bed and already installed.
