Hitch Suggestions for 2018 F250 Short Bed w/2015 303 RLS
Hello all,
What do you use or suggest for a great hitch option using a short-bed truck? I've recently purchased this '18 Superduty. My current truck/hitch is an 08 F250 with an 18K Superglide which rotates back in the turns. I'm not even sure if I need this feature for my new truck. I am concerned about the height of the bed on the new truck as well and how the 303s do with the newer truck bed heights. If anyone is near Little Rock and has a shop you'd suggest for the hitch install would be great as well. I appreciate any input. I'm off to read through the forum too. Thanks.

If you already have the Superglide, use it.

I had made up my mind to use my 2010 4400 superglide with this newer truck, but I can't find an adapter system that allows for integration with the late model 5W ready pucks. IOW, the older rails won't fit my new truck. I did find where one guy used two different adapters on YouTube, but it looked like junk and not very safe. Even there, I could find the adapters he used online for pricing.

No issue with bed height on my 18F250 using a B&W Companion hitch and turnover gooseneck mount. Reflection 337rls. I was convinced I would need a slider but the way the B&W companion mounts it buys you 8-10" of rearward clearance. The installer told me he didn't think I would need a slider and that most people that got them rarely used them. His words not mine. I've been completely pleased with my setup.
I can't recommend anyone over there but I would ask local rv dealerships who they use as a thought?

Hey everyone. I ended up going with the 2714 Superglide that fits in the pucks. It lets me adjust hitch directly over tires and the auto-slide let's me forget about turns altogether. Just need to adjust for needed clearance between truck and 5W. Appreciate all your inputs.
