Will The Demco UMS 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550033 Fit A 2018 Ford F-350 Puck System
Question:
What are dimensions between the locks at the base the parts that into pucks? I have BW OEM, but like the Demco hitch. Can it fit? My dimensions center of puck, to center of puck are 13 1/4inch x 30 1/4, on my 2018 f350

Hey Dyllan,
Ford hasn't changed their puck spacing ever so the Demco UMS Double Pivot 5th Wheel Hitch - Ford Super Duty Prep Package # DM8550033 is a confirmed fit for your puck system. If you don't have an 8' bed then I don't really recommend this hitch as you could end up hitting the cab of your truck with the nose of the trailer when making a tight turn. If you have less than an 8' bed you'll want to go with the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slide # DM24YV instead for extra turning clearance.
