Neither my rail mount Anderson, nor my Curt Q20 that I kept back will fit directly into the puck system. Upon research, I'll have to buy an adapter either from Reece or Demco which will set the hitch even higher on an already tall truck. Please expand on your statement that your 11-year-old hitch will easily fit into the Ford Puck system.
What I know about the adapters, not a height factor with my rail mount Andersen .I have the Reese adapter, there is the Demco, as well as the PullRite . Demo does sit a bit lower ,but not much.

I didn't want to switch hitches back when I purchased my 2014 Ram 3500 with the puck system ,so I went with the adapter ,and since went with the rail mount Andersen. cheaper alternative at the time . I wouldn't do anything different today if I had a rail mount hitch , or if I went with a new truck.

I'm thinking what Dave is talking about is a B&W connected with the gooseneck ball, may be mistaken ,but if its that old it certainly isn't a four point hitch attachment. , and definitely not the puck style .

To answer the OP ,the Andersen is certainly worth a look .
