We're located in Wentzville, Missouri.

If you're trying to avoid above-bed rails then you could go with the Reese Elite Series Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # RP30158-52. This hitch is designed to match Ford's OEM puck systems and would give you 4 pucks for mounting a fifth wheel hitch as well as the option to to tow a gooseneck trailer.

Once installed you could use a hitch like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3370. If you want help picking out the right hitch for your needs then let me know the weight capacity you're looking for and any specific features you're wanting and I'd be happy to pick out the right one for you.

If you want the hitch installed and want to make the trek out to us from California we'd love to make a video installing it to further educate others as well.
