I attached a picture of what the OEM rail kit/hitch prep package of your 2014 Ford F-250 would look like if you had it with the # BWGNXA2061 installed as well. If you see the pucks or round openings in the bed of your truck this kit would work but if not you'd need the Turnoverball kit # BWGNRK1111.
