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
