Hello, hope somebody can help me with a question. My 2011 f-350 dually did not have fifth wheel prep package, so after install i moved on to the wiring plug and after searching cant find the pigtails to plug in the fifth wheel plug. Did some trucks come without the pigtails, my build date is 9-10. thanks.

There is not a pigtail as such. You can install a fifth wheel wiring connector that splices into your under-bumper plug. It has a long enough extension to allow you to mount a plug in your bed. There is no wire cutting or splicing needed.

Thanks for the link,i might have to go that route.I had purchased the ford 5th wheel wiring that has two plugs to plug into the pigtails mounted on the framing of the reciever hitch.All the trucks on the lot have these pigtails but my truck was built without them.Something about a running change in the build dates.Ford does have the cab back wiring harness with pigtails incorporated now but they want 389.oo plus install.Ill call ford customer service and see how that goes and post back.I was just trying to keep the wiring factory correct.I never checked for the pigtails when buying the truck i just assumed that they would be part of the tow package and integrated brake controller.
Bargman also makes a pigtail that t-plugs into the back side of the under bumper plug. Bummer about the no-prep situation. My build date is 12-10 and it HAS the 2-plug pigtail on the reciever frame. Made for a super slick bed plug install as the dealership plug harness even has plastic barbs that go into existing holes under the bed for routing. Oh well, the other way makes for a nice neat installation as well and beats the heck out of cut and splice!

Well after a few phone calls to customer service they authorized my dealership to replace the rear harness with the one with the pigtails. They will call and schedule for install when the harness arrives. I will update when everything is done. I had pm'd Cory and he pm'd back but the issue was already rectified. Thank 's for the replies. FoCoFord.
