Will Demco Hijacker Fifth Wheel Hitch Fit 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty With 6-3/4 Foot Bed?
Question:
I have a 2017 Ford F250 with a 6 3/4foot bed as well as a Reflections 150 series fifth wheel that has a turning point swivel pin box. Will the Demco product item # DM8550033 Work in my truck? Will it fit my truck even though it does not have the 8 foot bed?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, the Demco Hijacker UMS Double Pivot # DM8550033 will fit in the factory puck system of your 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty despite the fact you have a 6-3/4' bed and not an 8' bed. This is not in our fit guide for a short bed because normally a sliding fifth wheel hitch is required in a truck with a bed that is under 8'. With your Lippert Turning Point pin box you will not need a sliding hitch so the Hijacker # DM8550033 is going to be a great option.
I also recommend Wiring Harness # C57008 to make the wiring connection to your Reflection fifth wheel easier.
