How To Use Demco 18K Hijacker 5th Wheel Hitch on 2011 Ford F-350 Without Prep Package
Question:
I have a 2011 Ford Super Duty without a puck system and no prep package installed by the factory. I have purchased a Demco 6077 along with an RV from an individual that has a 2017 Chevy 2500. He was using the hitch attached to his gooseneck ball with his prep package. What attachments do i need to make this work in my 2011 Ford Super Duty? Pic is attached and has rails but not sure how they are being used unless theyre part of an attachment for the gooseneck attachment.

In order to use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550022 (6077) on a 2011 Ford F-350 without prep package you'll simply need the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches part # DM8552000-71.
It looks like the photo shows a prep-package drop-in rail adapter being used but you won't be using that for this setup, just the hitch and bolt-on rail kt.
