Converting Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch to Fit 2018 Ford F-350 With Factory Puck System
Question:
Last year I purchased a Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider for my 2013 Ford F350 short bed. I just purchased a 2018 Ford F350 short bed with Factory 5th wheel prep. Is there a way to install my existing hitch into new truck.without drilling new holes into the bed like I had to in old truck

Expert Reply:
You can absolutely convert your Curt Q20 to fit your 2018 Ford F-350 with a factory puck system. All you need to do is get the Reese Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156 and fit your Curt Q20 on it. Or you could install a new base for your Curt slider, part # C16020, that will fit in the factory puck system of your F-350 and you only need to put the head unit of your Q20 legs on it.
I've added a link to a video review of the slider for you to check out.
