I am seriously looking at this Demo Recon 21K. Not sure yet whether I will go with a rail or ball mount version, but this seems like a great (light) hitch for a Ford F150 HDPP to tow a GD 150 Series 230RL. Have you decided to go with this hitch?

Thanks for the response, whaines. I am curious about your experience with the Recon 21K once you start towing, since I haven't seen any posts from other forum members that are using this hitch.

Ok - I found out from Demco that the new Recon 21K ball mount hitch will NOT currently work with a pivoting pin box (like the Turning Point pin box on the 150 Series Reflection 5ers). According to Demco, they are coming out with a fix later in the spring/early Summer that fits into the bed slots which will keep the hitch from swiveling. Glad I reached out to Demco and found this out, because the 21K/Ball was recommended to me by the Dealer PM (whew!).

Demco told me that the Recon 21K Ball-mount version is not designed for a pivoting pin box (like the Turning Point or a Reese Sidewinder). I was told that for my application (2018 F150 w/6.5' bed and Reflection 230RL) I should use the Recon 21k rail version. The Demco parts are 8550044, which is the Hitch and rails, and 8552028, which is the under bed mount kit.

We just got the Demco hitch for our new 337. On our shake down trip now. Appears to be working great but then it is the first 5th wheel hitch we have had. We have always had bumper pull before.
