• Recommended 5th Wheel For 2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty Towing a 39 Foot 5th Wheel Trailer
  I can help you decide which 5th wheel is better for your 2010 Ford F-250 with a 6-3/4 bed. The Demco # DM6076P-UL-21K and the Reese # RP30084 are very comparable in weight capacity and height adjustments. If it were me I would go with the Demco # DM6076P-UL-21K, because of its slightly higher capacity and the quieter ride, due to the additional dampeners. You will want to determine the total loaded weight of your 39 foot trailer and make sure it doesn't exceed the weight of the hitch...

• Recommended Sliding Hitch For A 2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty With B&W Gooseneck Hitch
  The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Underbed - 18,000lbs # DM8550022 does not attach via gooseneck hitch and instead attaches using base rails like # DM8551000 or # DM8552002-71. For you to be able to use this hitch you would need to remove the B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1108-5W you currently have in the bed of your 2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty and install a base rail system instead. If you want a compatible sliding hitch for your gooseneck hitch...

• 5th Wheel Hitch For Ford F-250 With 4 Bolt Mounting Holes In Bed
  I have a solution for you, but it appears that your truck may have had an older four bolt fifth wheel rail kit based on the number of holes and the dimensions that you provided. The four bolt rail design has been pretty well phased out of the industry by almost every manufacturer, so your best option will be to look into the newer 10 bolt 5th wheel rail design. Although this will require you to drill more holes in your bed, the good news is that the new base rails should cover up the existing...

• Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Option for a 2005 Ford F-250/F-350
  If you are looking for an auto-sliding fifth wheel hitch for a 2005 Ford F-250/F-350 then the only option we offer is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550035 which requires the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit part # DM8552002-71.

• Is a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Needed to Tow with a 2007 Ford F-350 Diesel with Short Bed
  Although some people can make it work, for any pickup with a bed less than 8' we always recommend going with a sliding 5th wheel hitch. This allows you to safely make sharp turns without your 2004 Forest River Cedar Creek making contact with the cab of your 2007 Ford F-350. You actually don't need a capture plate unless your pin box has a rotating turret, like a Sidewinder, or you have an automatic sliding 5th wheel hitch. If you have a normal pin box then no special capture plate is required. If...

• Automatic Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for a 2005 Ford F-350 Short Bed
  The most cost-effective option we offer for an automatic sliding fifth wheel hitch for your 2005 Ford F-350 short bed would be to use the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550034 for the hitch and then universal rails part # DM8552001-71 although for the price I would highly recommend you go with a custom install rail kit like part # DM8552002-71 since the install will be much easier.

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for a 2008 Ford F-350 Short Bed and 2010 Keystone Cougar
  Since your 2008 Ford F-350 is a short bed I recommend going with a slider hitch so you will have more clearance between trailer and truck cab when making tight turns. The slider hitches that offer the most travel are the Demco HiJacker auto-sliders, # DM8550022 for below the bed rail kit # DM8551000, or # DM8550034 for above the bed rail kit # DM8552002-71. These hitches also have the benefit of sliding automatically. This means you won't have to get in an out of the truck repeatedly...
