If your 2015 Ford F-250 has a towing package and you see 4 "bolts" in the bed of the truck you do have the OEM hitch prep package like what the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550038 is designed to fit. I attached a picture of what the rail kit would look like for you to compare to your truck to be absolutely certain!
The Hijacker you mentioned is a really great hitch as it automatically slides when you make tight turns which is much more convenient than having... view full answer...
We do have larger quick disconnects for like 2 gauge wire like the Spectro Stackable Quick Connect # SWC60015-8. They do make these in larger sizes like this but without knowing exactly what size you have now it's harder to say for sure what would be larger. view full answer...
I recommend using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET with your boat and trailer. This system is rated for a tongue weight of 600-1,000lbs and total trailer weight up to 10,000lbs. If your trailer has a pole tongue we have the Pole-Tongue Adapter # EQ95-01-5950 to use the weight distribution hitch. Otherwise the included brackets will fit a A-Frame tongue with up to 6" tall frame rails.
You will need a 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install the included... view full answer...
For your 40' long Open Range 5th Wheel Trailer, I recommend using the Furrion RV Observation Camera System part # FOS05TASF along with the Furrion Vision S Side Camera w/ Marker Light Bracket part # FCE48TASL. This system has a larger 5" monitor that will give you a clear and full view of your trailer when paired with the additional side cameras. This system also has a built-in microphone so you can hear what is going on behind the trailer as well. If you have a pre-wired Furrion camera... view full answer...
I would run the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner # SU1845 in performance mode unless you are towing. The performance mode will give you the most power and fuel efficiency whereas the tow mode does similar but it also affects how the transmission shifts to optimize for towing a trailer which wouldn't be needed if you weren't towing. view full answer...
For your customer with a 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a consistent load in the bed of the truck the best Timbrens are the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFR250SDJ.
These have an 8,600 lbs capacity so they are going to offer a ton of support and help with the handling and sag that your customer is having trouble with but without making the ride really rough. There is another kit, the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRTT350J, but these are extremely rigid, don't have... view full answer...
The newer Ford Super Duty trucks than your 2017 Ford F-250 have an inside diameter of 3 inch by 3 inch which is bigger than your 2.5 by 2.5 inch hitch. While the Torklift Cannon Hitch Extension part # TLE1648 won't work as it's too big for your truck we have the Titan Extender part # RP45292 which fits your hitch size and can be used at 24-34 inches. view full answer...
Yes we do have self-adjusting brake assemblies that you can use in place of the Dexter 6k 12x2 inch assemblies you have now # 23-105 and # 23-106 with the part numbers # 23-459 and # 23-458 which are exact same assemblies in terms of size and capacity but will adjust themselves as they are in use requiring no maintenance. view full answer...
Congratulations on the new truck!
I have good news. For your 2019 Ford F-250 with the factory puck system and a short bed we have the B&W Companion Slider 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3370. As you mentioned in your question, the Companion series hitches are considered by many to be the best on the market and this particular model is designed to drop right into the factory pucks on your F-250. It features the 1 inch thick dual jaws for an excellent connection to the trailer, a fully articulating... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt A16 5th 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16520-16017 that you referenced will fit perfectly and drop right into the factory pucks on the 6-3/4 foot bed of your 2019 Ford F-250. When going through our vehicle fit guide we do just show the sliding hitches for the short bed and the fixed units for the long beds, but the actual puck configurations between the two models do not differ.
You are definitely right that many customers use fixed hitches like this with their short bed trucks... view full answer...
For an above bed rail kit for your 2019 F250, I suggest the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails, # 16055 and the B&W Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford, # BWRVK2402.
The Curt, # 16055 is an above-bed gooseneck trailer hitch is simple to install and remove with built-in safety chains and offset hitch ball of 3". It has a gross towing weight of 25,000 lbs. and a vertical load limit of 6,250 lbs. with a 2-5/16" ball.

I recommend adding the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSF-111-40 to the front of your 2022 Ford F-250. Since you have the additional weight from the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7904 and your Cargo Carrier # e98874 on your front suspension these springs will help to absorb the road shock you are experiencing. The springs have a capacity of 1,000lbs at 50% compression to help support the load.
If you intend to use your front receiver with something... view full answer...
Yes, since your 2019 Ford F-250 has a B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1116 the Demco 5th Wheel Base Rail Adapter part # DM6140 would work to provide you with a set of standard fifth wheel rails. view full answer...
For your 2022 Ford F-250 that has the OEM puck kit you can install your B and W Patriot Hitch part # BWRVR3200 if you use the Curt rail kit adapter part # C88KR which will convert your pucks to the style of rails the Patriot needs. view full answer...
The B and W Patriot hitch part # BWRVK3255 and the Curt A20 part # C16140 are both really excellent fifth wheel hitch that would work great for you. The both have really excellent jaw designs which provides a really tight and solid connection to the fifth wheel king pin and are both really well made and easy to use. The edge for me goes to the Patriot though as it's head comes off pretty easily which gives you ability to install and remove it a bit easier. view full answer...
I definitely recommend getting a 5th-wheel tailgate on your 2017 Ford F-250. The reason is because a tailgate light the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series # VG-15-100 is the only assured way to protect your factory tailgate when transporting your 5th-wheel trailer. Since you are using a different tailgate, any impact to the tailgate protects your factory gate by default. The # VG-15-100 is confirmed to fit your truck.
I went ahead and attached an installation video of the tailgate being installed... view full answer...
For your 2017 Ford F-250 with a 6-3/4 foot bed the rail kit I would recommend is the Reese custom install kit part # RP50074-58. The custom install kits are the way to go since they minimize drilling and install time when compared to a universal kit.
This kit is also the same style of rail kit that your Reese Kwik Slider hitch is designed to fit. view full answer...
For a trailer suspension kit that comes with 5-3/4 inch equalizers you would want the part # AP233-H248 instead of the # APT5. Aside from that and the center hangers being slightly different to accommodate the different equalizers the kits are the same. view full answer...
I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3300 for your 2024 Ford F-250. This will drop into the factory mounting points on your long bed so you will not need any adapters. I prefer the B&W with their great quality and reputation for standing behind their products.
Be sure your 5th wheel has a Lube Plate # RP83002 on the pin box to help prolong the life of the hitch. view full answer...
