The head of the Hijacker hitches by Demco like part #DM8550037 are pretty easy to remove. When the Demco rep came here to show us these hitches we went out and watched him install and remove the head of a Hijacker to allow the hitch to easily get…

I can absolutely make a 5th wheel hitch recommendation for your potential 2020 Ford F-250, whether you get it with the factory puck system in the bed or not. Starting with my recommendation for the factory puck setup, I really like the Curt A25 5th…

The Demco Hijacker part #DM8550037 that you referenced was designed to fit Demco's under bed mount system and not the Ford pucks you have in your 2020 Ford F-350. The version that fits your truck pucks is the #DM8550038. If you have the UMS…
