Recommended Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch For 2013 Ford F-250 With 6-3/4 Foot Bed & Factory Prep Package
Question:
I was looking at a Demco Hijacker. I have a 2013 F250 platinum - crew cab with the shorter bed, with the ford 5th wheel prep package. I saw the Reese rail adapter that you can use for the prep package - will the Demco Hijacker mount to the rail adapter? if not will any auto slider mount to it? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
We have two Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th wheel hitches that are compatible with the factory rail kit. This means you don't need an adapter like the Reese # RP30156 to use it.
The Demco Hijacker Autoslide is an excellent choice for your 2013 Ford F-250 Platinum with crew cab and 6-3/4 foot bed. This autoslide makes it easy for you to navigate turns as it automatically moves the pivot point of the trailer as you turn to provide the clearance needed. There are two different sizes available to you that are already compatible with your factory pucks. For the 18,000 lb capacity you will want the # DM8550024, and for the 21,000 lb capacity you will want the # DM8550038.
With either hitch, you may want to add a 7-way to the bed of your truck for easier connectivity. I recommend using # DM8555002 for this application.
