How To Tell If 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty Has Factory Rail Kit/Prep Package
Question:
We're still shopping for a 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty we do plan to use for camping maybe next summer. I keep seeing and hearing from sales staff about factory rails. Why do they matter?

The factory prep packages help you make use of a gooseneck hitch or 5th wheel both easy to install and also remove if you need access to your full bed. For this reason they can be a real asset if you plan on using your truck for a variety of towing now and to provide flexibility if you decide to do more later.
There are 5 holes, 4 at the corners with one in the middle for the gooseneck. The 5th wheel hitches designed for factory prep packages can drop into the 4 corners per the included image. For a 5th wheel hitch, you can't go wrong with a B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package # BWRVK3305.
To tow using a gooseneck the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loop Kit # C60692 is all you need. Included are video resources for both to provide more information.
