Will Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System Fit 2023 Ford F-150
Question:
Im looking at buying a 2023/24 Grand Design 295RL, I have a 2023 Ford F-150 /,6.5foot box, V-8, w/ Max tow Pkg. Can I use an Anderson Hitch #3200 in this set-up? I would not have the pin box pivoting, just in the truck bed at the hitch point.

Expert Reply:
Assuming you have industry-standard rails like the # C93WR the Andersen # AM3200 will work with your 2023 Ford F-150. It will not fit beds shorter than 6' so at 6-1/2' you won't have an issue.
I'm not sure which pin box your Grand Design will have, but the Andersen works with fixed pin boxes only. If it has a rotating pin box it will work if you lock it out. However, I would still check with the pin box manufacturer since some prohibit the use of a system like the Andersen.
If you have a rotating pin box that prohibits the use of the Andersen, you can use a standard 5th wheel hitch like the # C16140. You will also need to use the universal wedge or one that is pin box specific like the # C16992 for a Sidewinder, Revolution, or Turning Point.
