- Ford did decide to change the operation of the 12V auxiliary power circuits on newer trucks. The fix for this annoying circumstance is easy enough.
All you need to do is bypass the existing 12V circuit with a new direct battery connection that will allow the 7-way to have active 12V power at all times, regardless of the ignition key position or operation of the brake pedal.
You will need just a few parts to accomplish this: circuit breaker # PK54540, 10-gauge wire # 10-1-1, ring terminals...

- The Pollak # PK11998 wiring harness is the correct one that you would need. It plugs into the back of many different types of 7-Way trailer connectors so it isn't surprising that the one you have looks different than the ones we carry. As long as your connector has the round receptacle in the back to plug in a harness # PK11998 will work.
I believe the one you have is the same as or similar to # PK11893.

Since you have the OEM 5th wheel prep package in your 2014 Ford F-450., the puck covers or plugs will have to be obtained from a dealer. The aftermarket version of the underbed system is a little different than the factory one and they do not make those round covers available.

- We do have an option for you to use your Curt Q24 # C16245 with an underbed rail kit on your 2008 Ford F-450.
I recommend using the Reese Underbed Rail and Installation Kit # RP30073 which will give your F-450 a puck system. You can then use the Reese Elite Series Adapter # RP30156 which makes the puck system compatible with 5th wheel hitches that use standard base rails. Please note that the weight capacity of this under-bed rail kit is 18,000 lbs so that will be your limiting factor.

- If you don't already have a front mounted hitch, you'll need to start there; for your 2018 F-450 I recommend using the Draw-Tite # 65076. This hitch has a 500-lbs capacity, which is fairly standard for a front mounted hitch and has a 2" receiver so it will allow you to carry a motorcycle carrier like the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier w/ Ramp for 2" Hitch - 76" Long - Steel - 500 lbs # e98873.
