Underbed Demco Fifth Wheel Autoslider Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation
Question:
I have an 2008 F250 Lariat, 6 3/4 bed. I am wanting a Demco Autoslide. I would like to wait on the actual hitch right now, but go ahead and purchase the underbed mounting system. I DO NOT have anything in my bed at this time. No factory or after market hitches or gooseneck mounts. Could you please advised me on the underbed mount part# and also for a later date, the hitch part#? Also, does this mounting system come with the wiring harness relocation? From the trailer receiver to inside the bed? Thanks in advance! I do all my trailer research through your website and how-to videos!

The correct Demco underbed rail kit you'd need for your 2008 Ford F-250 short bed is the part # DM8551000. This is a custom fit kit designed for your truck specifically. Then when it comes time for an auto slider hitch you'd want the part # DM8550022 for an 18k hitch or part # DM8550037 for if you need a 21k hitch.
For a 7-way relocation kit to put a 7-way in the bed of your truck you'd then want the Demco Kit part # DM8555002 and you'd be set.
