I have the puck system on my 2011 F-350 and love it.
I purchased a new Reese Signature Series 18K hitch from my local RV Dealer and saved another $250.00 over the Ford Branded unit.
Reese makes it for Ford.
Reese makes an 18K and 25K Signature Series 5th wheel hitch, the difference is in the body of the hitch, not the head.
The head is rated at 25K for both units.
The 18K body has 3 adjustable heights, whereas the 25K has 2 adjustable heights plus the difference in carrying capacity.
I sold my 16K Reese slider and went to the Signature Series when I brought my new truck, which I purchased with the long box.
The longer wheelbase makes for a lot better ride, and after owning a short box, I won't go back, plus I don't need a slider hitch anymore.
The Signature Series Hitch weighs about 150# total, but if you remove the head, which is attached with 2 pins, you can cut that weight by 1/3.
I can remove mine by myself by removing the head.
I hope this information may help.
The information I posted on the Head and Body carrying capacity was received from Reese via an email to me on that question.
