Can Fifth Wheel Hitch Attach Directly to Frame of 2017 Ford F-550 without Truck Bed
Question:
We have a customer wanting to put a 5th wheel on a 2017 F-550 without putting a bed on it do you offer anything?

It's possible to put a set of fifth wheel rails directly to the frame of a truck that doesn't have a bed. In reality the truck bed is just something that has to be worked around when installing a rail kit as it installs and attaches directly to the frame.
So you could use the part # RP30035 as it's a universal kit to mount the rails directly to the frame. Then a hitch like the Reese # RP30033 would fit and work well as it has a 22k capacity and fits the rails of the # RP30035.
