I'm looking to buy a Ford F250/350 as a tow vehicle for my next 5r. I already have a Reese sliding 16K hitch from my previous 5r (Part No. 30051). I also see that Ford OEMs hitches. My question is, if I get the 5th-Wheel/Gooseneck package on the truck, will the Reese hitch that I already own fit in the slots Ford puts in the bed for this? The Reese installation manual seems pretty specific on the distance between front and rear mounting plates, etc.
I don't want to go out of my way to get this option if the holes they put in the bed aren't usable for the Reese 16K sliding hitch.
I know I can just get the truck without the package do an aftermarket install, but the cross-member they add, along with prewiring the pigtail seem worth it -- but only if everything lines up.
