Expert Answers about Ford F-450 Super Duty


  • Which Install Kit Goes with Hitch 40259 on a 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty
  • The install kit for a 24k Signature Series 5th Wheel on 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty is actually the same; Signature Series Fifth Wheel Hitch Installation Kit, # 30073. However, installation kit 30073 is only rated for 18,000 pounds. The 24k hitch can handle 24,000 pounds but in order to achieve that capacity, the hitch will have to be custom installed by a qualified technician. Kit 30073 will not fit Cab and Chassis models. If you have a Cab and Chassis F-450 with 34 inch wide frame rails,...

Standard rails' top surface is 1-3/8-inches above the truck bed. A hitch will sit on top of this adapter, not in between its 4 sides.

  • Will a Toolbox with 19-1/4 in by 56 in Dimensions fit in a 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier
  • The Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier 24x60 # C18152 that you referenced should work well to transport your tool box as long as it and your tools do not exceed the weight capacity of cargo carrier. This carrier has a weight capacity of 500 lbs. The inside dimensions of this carrier are 24 inches by 60 inches which would easily accommodate your tool box that is 19-1/4 inches by 56 inches even with its rounded corners.

  • Why Does The Reese M5 27K Hitch Have A Higher Pin Weight Capacity Than The 32K Hitch
  • Most likely the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP68FR was tested to that capacity and they just never went higher since the 6,400lb capacity is above the pin weight capacity of the truck that would use it. It's very common practice to just hit the maximum for the truck and stop testing.

  • Is There A Wight Rating For The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit C22BR
  • There is not a weight rating for the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C22BR. The rails are rated for use with any 5th wheel hitch that will fit into the Industry Standard Rails. Some of which can be rated for 30K or more. Your towing setup is only as strong as the weakest component. So the limiting factor here will be either the weight capacity of your fifth wheel hitch, or the towing capacity of your truck. Whichever is lower.

  • What is Difference Between B&W Ford Puck Companion Hitch RVK3300 & RVK3305
  • I can confirm that difference between the # BWRVK3300 and the # BWRVK3305 is not the head and is the construction of the base of the hitch, which is where you get the difference in capacities between the two hitches. The 3300 is only rated for 20,000-lbs where the 3305 is rated to pull 25,000-lbs.

  • Can a 20K 5th Wheel Hitch be Used to Tow a 20K Toy Hauler
  • Great question! Although a 5th wheel hitch rated for 20K can tow up to 20K we highly recommend using a 5th wheel hitch that is rated about 1K - 2K over the GVWR of your 5th wheel trailer. This gives you a safety margin and will help keep your hitch from prematurely wearing down from normal use. The only time you would be able to safely use the 20K hitch is if you didn't load your trailer up to the 20K capacity. If your toy hauler is 20K then I recommend going with either the B&W Companion...

  • Distance From King Pin to Rear Mounting Holes of Morryde Cushioned Pin Box MR24VR
  • On the Morryde pin box you referenced # MR24VR that you referenced it measures 25-5/8 inches from the center of the king pin back to the rear mounting holes. Since the rear mounting holes are right at about an inch from the rear of the pin box you'd have the clearance you are needing since you said you needed less than 30 inches.

  • Would Transferring a Companion Hitch from F-350 to F-450 Require Changing Height Adjustment
  • The B and W Companion Hitch for Ford OEM rail kits part # BWRVK3300 does fit the rail kit of your 2021 Ford F-450. I'd suspect you might have to lower the hitch head height but it really just depends. I doubt your 350's suspension was sagging much with the weight of the trailer on the hitch but the 450 would sag even less so it would most likely sit taller. But you also would want to measure the height from the top of the truck bed to the ground for both trucks and compare the heights there...
