The B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3300 weighs in at 152 lbs and the Demco Hijacker UMS Double Pivot 5th Wheel Hitch part # DM8550033 weighs in at 177 lbs. Therefore, the B&W hitch is about 25 lbs lighter than the Demco hitch. The hitch head on each unit is easily removable therefore you can take the hitch head off first and then the mounting legs. The B&W hitch head weighs about 74 lbs and the Demco hitch head weighs about 41 lbs. I have attached a review video that shows the B&W hitch head being removed and installed for reference.
The lightest 5th wheel trailer hitch we have for your 2013 Ford F-250/350 with an 8 foot bed that will work with the factory puck system is the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package - Single Jaw - 20,000lbs
Item # RP30921 which weighs in at 154 lbs. Therefore, the Reese M5 hitch will be about 36 lbs lighter than the Demco hitch.
All of the above figures include packaging material so you can subtract a few pounds for the exact weight. I have attached a review video of the B&W and Pro Series hitch for you as well.
