Reese Elite Under Bed Puck Mount

[GmaPaTime]

Does anyone know or have experience with this reese puck mount? I would like to install this Reese puck mount and use a Companion hitch instead. Not sure if it is the same as the Ford Prep Package mount setup but appears to be the same since the Reese Elite hitch is what Ford sells. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

A buddy and I installed one and a set of Firestone air bags in my f250 in around 3 hours. Pretty easy if you have the tools and a flat spot to work.

Did you use a hitch other then Reese? If so, which one?

We have a B&W OEM that fits the Reese pucks.. Haven't bought the trailer yet so I haven't used it... just installed it in preparation. I've used the B&W products before and have always had good luck with them so I see no reason to expect trouble this time around.

I think what you're asking is if the Reese Puck Mount Adapter will fit your truck and hitch?

If the Reese adapter you're looking at is the same as I have it will fit the Ford "Underbed fifth wheel" factory option.

Here is the link for what I ordered to fit my 2013 F250:

Essentially, it adapts the "in bed pucks" to any hitch that fits the "bed rails". I use it with a Curt 16K hitch. It will mount with any hitch that uses "in bed rails"...

It's about twice the price I bought mine for on Amazon last June, so you may find it cheaper somewhere else, but the Reese 30156 Adapter is what you need to get.

Hope this helps, any questions, just ask, I've been pulling with this adapter for about a year now.

Here's exactly what I'm trying to do. I want to install the Reese Elite under bed mount kit (30126 for my truck). Instead of the Reese hitch, I want to use the B&W Companion hitch. I'm trying to find out if this setup will work. Reese says only the Elite hitch fits but it's the same configuration as the Ford hitch prep mount setup, which reese designed with Ford, and B&W along with Pull-Rite hitches fit into. Still waiting for an answer from B&W but was asking if anyone has proven that it will work.
