2024 5th Wheel Adaptor
I have a 2024 F-350 that is In Production with the 5th Wheel Prep, and I am needing a 5th wheel adaptor to install my ISR hitch. Ford Accessories shows this:SKU: BC3Z19H282A
Can anyone confirm this one way or the other?
Thank you.
SUPER DUTY 2011-2023 5TH WHEEL RAIL MOUNT ADAPTOR KIT
but shows it's incompatible with the 24's. Did something change between 23 and 24? The direct mount hitches that Ford sells shows the compatibility for 2011-2024, so would think the adaptor should be compatible also.Can anyone confirm this one way or the other?
Thank you.

With the 5th wheel prep you want a puck style hitch for Ford pucks, not sure is dodge & GM pucks are the same. No bed rails.
I am going to get B&W companion for my truck
Sorry, I missed you had a hitch. I assume it is a rail type then you would need a puck to rail adaptor, if you keep it, I believe E-trailer has some.

I have a 2023 F350 Lariat. That is the correct puck to rail adapter you listed. It is made by Reese, and when I got my truck Ford did not have one in stock (one with Ford Labels). After 4 weeks, the dealer sent me a check for the amount and I bought one off the internet (etrailer).
I went with the Curt Adapter as it bolts together vs the Reese is welded together.
Etrailers has a few different puck/rail adapter. Check them out.
(I have two rail mount hitches, so this is why I stayed with the adapter vs buying a puck hitch. (Pullrite Superglide, and Andersen Ultimate Steel Ball Mount. I use the Andersen 90% of the time)

I purchased a used Demco 6175 ISR rail adapter that was previously in a 2020 F450. It dropped right in my 2024 F450 after I adjusted the pucks per the manufacture's suggestion.
The Demco was recommended by Hensley for my TS3 hitch which only comes in ISR flavor (boo).

Thank you all for the information. I did some more research with PullRite, and they have a conversion kit to switch my hitch from ISR to Ford's puck system. I am thinking that is the best route to go and eliminate the adaptor all together.

I wish I could with my set up. I have a 290-pound hitch and an 85-pound adapter (the Demco is heavy!). Lifting that turd high enough to set the tabs into the real is a pain in the rear. I made an A-frame out of left over lumber and I use ratchet straps to lift and lower it on the rail. I think next time I will just disconnect at the pucks and move it as a unit.

I agree with you. If you can go straight into the puck system, do it.

If you are going to a gooseball, take a look at the Gen-Y. They partnered with Brinkley to do some testing, and it was pretty impressive. They did a YouTube video showing the test results. I stuck with the 5th wheel on my Brinkley, but after watching that, it has me wondering if I should go to a GEN-Y.

I went from an Anderson style single point hitch to my Trailer Saver TS3. The performance difference is not comparable in control and ride between the two. Obviously, you have the weight to contend with and that is a strong consideration in SRW trucks where cargo capacity is more limited. In my F450, weight is not a concern and I want the smooth ride and trouble-free operation (Hooking up and unhooking) of my TS3.
My alternative was the Reese Goosebox, but at the time I needed a new hitch, the newest version that fits the Rhino chassis was quite expensive (~$2500). I found a used TS3 that was nearly new for $1200, and I found a used ISR adapter for super cheap. I was into my TS3 for $1000 less than a Reese at the time.

I really have zero complaints with the Andersen. I have towed with it for 6 years now - installs and removes easily by myself and light enough I can store it hung from wall hooks in the garage out of the way. With a short bed Ram I have always had plenty of clearance to the front cap. I just love the idea of nothing but a goose ball in the bed once we get to a destination, even if guiding the hookup might require a bit more precision using something like the Goose Box.
