Be aware: if you use the AUH on a gooseneck ball (as I am) on top of the Ford puck system (as I am) then the remaining bed pucks are inaccessible - the AUH covers them. I don't see this as a problem - but you may. So purchasing either ball kit (shown above) that provides tie-down capability to the (now covered) pucks is wasted, just get the ball.

Three states DO require safety chains, if you're one of them Anderson provides a solution kit, selling the chains and an attachment plate that mount over the ball but under the hitch.

Going by memory (I haven't seen it in months) but I believe my removable ball is from Curt. As I didn't need the additional links they sold me the ball separate (then reordered one to replace the now missing ball).

Thks for heads up...I heard auh blocks the pucks so I'm going to get the Anderson safety chain plate that goes on the hitch ball

Ok do I need reese 19315 or 19311 ball…?
​​​​​​ I guess 19315 ball is with a riser. Will the Anderson fit the ball w riser?

As I'm not familiar with what the 'riser' offers I would ask the seller/dealer of your new hitch which ball(s) they recommend for use with the Ford puck system.
In my weakened mind I believe my dealer set me up with the Curt; was is because it was the best, or provided him the greatest profit, or simply what he had in stock?

All I can swear to is ... it works for me.

Andersen makes an adapter that fits over the ball that I use for safety chains. I am not in one of the states but feel a bit safer with the chains on.
