Will the Head on the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Still Pivot On Uneven Ground
Question:
Im looking at purchasing the autoslider hitch DM8550024 for our 2024 Ford F250 with a 6.5 foot bed with the OEM trailer package. I assume Im looking at the correct hitch? Also does the head pivot in uneven ground? Thank you for your assistance.

Unless Ford has made some changes to their OEM puck system, the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw # DM8550024 will work fine. We have not personally been able to test fit it so we can't confirm, but Demco hasn't said anything about it not fitting so I'd assume it's fine. Also yes, the head will still pivot on uneven ground.
