Can you elaborate on what you mean here? Are you saying that if I permanently attach the Andersen to the rail frame, that I can not quick release and remove it on the Reese?

No, you will have no issue with the Reese 30156 adapter for the Ford OEM pucks , and leaving the hitch connected ,and removed in one unit.
I hope I explained it on the previous post, but I think its a mute point with the Reese adapter for your truck ,there is no issue with the locking handle not being able to be opened when the hitch is connected. The Reese 30156 has different locking handles then my 30154 that I had to modify for the Ram. The locking handle on the 30156 for the Ford are very similar to the Demco.
