Will B&W Patriot Fit Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter In 2024 Ford F-250 With Prep Package
Question:
Will the DEMCO DM6175 rail adapter kit work with my current Patriot 16K fifth wheel hitch in my new 2024 F250 with Factory OEM prep package puck system? Or, am I looking at having to buy a new companion 5th wheel hitch altogether?

Expert Reply:
The answer is the same as before. If you have the long bed and you're using the # BWRVK3200 then you can use an adapter like the Demco # DM6175. Based on the vehicle information you entered you have the short bed and need a sliding 5th wheel hitch for clearance. The Patriot slider is not compatible with any existing adapter. Assuming this is what you have you need to switch to the Companion # BWRVK3370.
