Is a Universal Fifth Wheel Installation Kit Worl on my 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty
Question:
I’ve read that the body frames are aluminum and you need the 1 piece bracket that bolts to the frame, that will also stiffen the frame. Is this true are can you use universal bracket? The picture below is what camping world installed.

The body on your 2019 Ford F-250 is in fact aluminum the frame however is still made from steel. With that said a universal installation kit is okay to use on it but is not something that we recommend using in any application really unless there is no other option.
Since yours is already installed I wouldn't have it removed however, we always recommend using a custom rail kit for both gooseneck and fifth wheel installations. Using a custom fit kit like the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWRVK2402 or the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs. part # BWGNRK1116 allows you to mount these to your vehicle without drilling holes in the frame of your truck. With them being specifically designed for your F-250 this also ensures everything is exactly where it needs to be to optimize hauling your trailers.
