I just bought my Screw and now I hear that I can't install a 5th wheel hitch! Has anyone put a 5th wheel hitch in their Screw, and if you did how does it work?

 

It does work, but you have to get the type that slides. I think Reese makes one.

 

I've heard by an RV dealer that the new Fords are a pain to install the 5th wheel hitches. This is because of the shocks mounted outside the frame. I see the Screws towing them, but I havent seen the short box yet.

 

A concern with the 04 is the how high the rails of the box sit. the short box is a problem that can be fixed with a Sliding hitch mount. Reese, Powerglide...

The high box sides are probably harder to deal with if your 5th dosent fit over it
