5th Wheel Hitch installatrion with BedTred liner
My tow vehicle is an 2016 F-350 dually with the factory-installed 5th wheel package. The bed currently has a BedTred installed.
I will be installing a Reese Elite 25k hitch, and I'm contemplating just cutting holes in the bedtred to expose the mounting pucks, and installing the hitch "over" the bedtred. I'm concerned the bedtred may not compress enough to seat the hitch firmly in the pucks.
Has anyone here done similar?
Any insight here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Walt

We had the bedrug and cut away the rug in our old 350. There was no rug any place the hitch touched the bed for better contact and no movement.
I miss that bedrug every time I crawl around in the back of the new truck . It was so gentle on the knees.

I have a B&W hitch that fits in the gooseneck ball slot. It fits on top of the bed mat with only the ball hole cut out.
