• Availability of Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Brackets for 2003 Ford F-350
  The part # 50043 is actually just the frame mounting brackets that fit your 2003 Ford F-350 short bed. If you ordered a kit that had that part number it for sure should have included them. If you have the rails though all you would need is the # 50043.

• Recommended 5th Wheel Base Rail Brackets for 2000 Ford F-150
  The Reese mounting brackets # RP50081 are only a fit for 2004-2014 models of Ford F-150 trucks. For your 2000 model, you will instead use brackets # RP50042 or the kit # RP50042-58 if you don't already have the rails and rail hardware. These fit 1997-2003 models. If you have the rails, then I recommend the Replacement Hardware Kit for Reese 5th Wheel Base Rails - 10 Bolt # RP58504 as this hardware is only intended for one time use.

• Are Just the Install Brackets Available Separate from the Bracket and Rail Kit # RP50081-58
  Yes, you would want the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit # RP50081. This is basically just the brackets of the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP50081-58 without the rails. The rails, bracket kit and Reese 5th Wheel Hitch # RP30047 that you referenced should work well together.

• Compatibility of Reese # RP50081 Fifth Wheel Frame Brackets with 2006 Ford F-150
  The RP50081 frame mounting brackets are indeed compatible with a 2006 Ford F150, as long as it is the 6-1/2 foot bed. The brackets are NOT compatible with the 5-1/2 foot bed. Keep in mind that it is not recommended to reuse the hardware. Part # RP58430 is the replacement hardware for the bed rails, and # RP50081F is the replacement hardware kit to attach the brackets to the frame of the truck.

• Bracket Kit Recommendation without Rails for the part # RP50081-58
  It sounds like you are looking to install the rails of the # RP50081-58 in another vehicle. For just the bracket and hardware that came with this kit you would want part # RP50081.

• Recommended Reese 5th Wheel Frame Brackets for 2011 Ford F-150 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed
  I do have what you need, however the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit # RP50026 referenced in your question is not compatible with your 2011 Ford F-150. This particular kit is designed to fit the frames on certain model years of the F-250/350 and will not line up with the factory holes on the frame rails of your F-150. I instead recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit # RP56006-53. These will use the existing holes in your truck's frame so you won't need to drill into...

• Troubleshooting 5th Wheel Turning Clearance with 2014 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  For your 2014 Ford F-150 Super Cab with 5.5 foot bed, as Reese stated you should be good for your turning clearance with the 22 inch offset of the Revolution pin box (Factory version of Reese Sidewinder). I haven't heard of turning being reduced to under 40 degrees before, so it is possible the dealer didn't install the rails in the correct location. Most dealers use the universal installation kits like # RP30035 which can allow them to measure incorrectly. I've attached the installation...

• Can 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-1/2 foot Bed Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
  There is a way to tow a fifth wheel trailer with a truck that has a 5-1/2 foot short bed like your 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 model but not with a SuperGlide hitch as it would not slide back far enough. What you'll have to use is a fixed fifth wheel hitch setup with a Sidewinder pin box as this is only way to get the amount of turning clearance required. You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you...

  We do have mounting bracket kits available to install 5th wheel base rails on your 2010 Ford F-150 with the 5-1/2 foot bed. If you happen to have the Reese Universal Base Rails # RP58058 then the custom bracket kit you need is the Quick-Install Bracket Kit # RP50081.

• Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2014 Ford F-150 with Reese Fifth Wheel Rails
  For suspension enhancement for your 2014 Ford F-150 you will need to go with a Timbren setup like part # TFR1504D that attaches to the bottom of the frame rail. All of the air bag kits we have attach to the outside of the frame like your bracket kit part # RP50081 does so they would interfere.

To attach the brackets to above the bed 5th wheel rails you will also need # RP58430. And if you do not have the rails then you can get everything in one kit using # RP50082-58. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

• Correct 5th Wheel Brackets for a 2005 Ford F-150
  In regards to fifth wheel install kits, you need to match the base rails and frame brackets so for a 2005 Ford F-150 I recommend using the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit part # RP50081-58. If you already have Reese above bed inboard base rails then you can get away with just the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # RP50081.

• Can Old Base Rails Be Re-Used On a 2013 Ford F-150
  The installation of a set of base rails will be dependent on the exact kit you are using, the frame brackets in particular so I would need this info in order to assist. That said, the older Ford trucks used universal install kits which required you to drill into the frame whereas the new Ford trucks have custom fit kits which install using pre-drilled holes. I do not recommend using the universal install kits nor is this always an option but I do still have an option for you that won't...

• Parts Needed To Install Reese Base Rails for Kwik-Slide 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2007 Ford F-150
  If you already have a set of Reese Above Bed Base Rails for your Reese Kwik-Slide 5th Wheel Hitch 30038 then you will want to use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit part # RP50081 in order to attach them to your 2007 Ford F-150, not the Curt Custom No-Drill Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit part # C16441 that you referenced because you can't use Reese Above Bed Base Rails with Curt Fifth Wheel Bracket Kits.

• 5th Wheel Installation Kit Brackets Only for a 2010 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  First, for custom brackets, # RP50081 would be the best choice. The other brackets, # RP58426, are supplements to the universal installation kit so I do not recommend using them. Since your truck has the very short 5-1/2 foot bed you will need to either use a fixed 5th wheel hitch or a slider left in the towing position at all times and a Sidewinder pin box. A regular slider hitch will not be able to travel enough to allow you to make tight turns without hitting the truck cab and trailer...

• 5th Wheel Frame Brackets Only for a 2011 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  For your 2011 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 foot bed you can use Reese brackets # RP50081 if you have Reese rails. You will also need hardware kit # RP58504 for 2 reasons. First, the brackets only don't come with all the necessary hardware. Second, the hardware is meant to be torqued down only once and should not be reused. For Demco rails you would need # DM8552004 which does come with the necessary hardware.

• Compatibility of Robin 5th Wheel Bed Rails With Reese 5th Wheel Hitch Frame Mounting Brackets
  It looks like what you show are industry standard 5th wheel bed rails, you can confirm this be checking the front to back and side to side spacing of the hitch mounting slots and compare them to the provided photo. If they're industry standard rails, they should be fit-compatible with the Reese # RP50081 frame brackets. However, it's NOT recommended to mix frame brackets with bed rails from a different manufacturer. The brackets and rails are tested for weight rating together. When you...

• Recommended Custom Brackets And 5th Wheel Rail Hardware For 2006 Ford F-150
  The Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50026 you asked about are not a fit for your 2006 Ford F-150. The brackets that are confirmed to fit your truck are the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50081. I assume you have the rails # RP58058, but I do recommend new hardware for your system using the Replacement Hardware Kit for Fifth Wheel Base Rails - 10 Bolt # RP58430.

  The Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50081 you mention will actually not fit on your 2014 Ram 1500 Quad Cab with a 5-1/2' bed.
