How Does Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Install in 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Question:

Hello, I have a 2020 f350 without the OEM puck system. I am buying a 5th wheel and interested in the andersen ultimate 5th connection due to its light weight. Can I used the BWGNRK1116 gooseneck to mount the anderson to the truck or do I need something else? Thanks

You can use the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 with your 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty, though how it installs is actually with standard 5th wheel base rails, which means you wouldn't be able to use the gooseneck hitch you mentioned, you'd just have to install base rails and you'd be set.

So for that, I highly recommend a custom no-drill kit; not having to drill into your frame rails is not only great for your truck but will benefit you whether you are doing the install yourself (saving hours) or having a professional do it (less install time equals less expensive labor costs). The best option for this is the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50074-58.

Once you install these base rails, your F-350 will be set to use the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200.

The only other thing I wanted to mention is that if you don't have a 5th wheel wiring harness for your F-350, what you will need is the Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness for Aluminum Truck Bed # 50-97-410-010.
