Will the 13K Demco Autoslide # DM8550041 Work with a 2018 Ford F-250 6-3/4' Bed
Question:
I have a 13k Demco autoslide DM8550041 5th wheel hitch I removed from my 2014 F150 short bed. I just bought a 2018 F250 Lariat crew cab with the 6 3/4 foot bed. Will this hitch work in my new 2018 F250 and if so what underbed mount kit do I need to purchase. The F250 does not have the 5th Wheel prep package.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550041 is compatible with your 2018 Ford F-250 with a 6-3/4' bed.
This hitch actually installs in the Demco Underbed Rail and Installation Kit # DM8551009 instead of a traditional "OEM prep package".
If you don't already have a 7-Way in the bed of your F-250 then I also recommend the Demco # DM8555002 which help make connecting and disconnecting the wiring in your pickup much easier.
