Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - Ford F-150

See what our Experts say about this Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit

• Reese Universal-Fit Rails For A 2019 Ford F-150 With An Aluminum Bed
  The Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30035 is only designed to fit select Ford models up to 2004 so it wouldn't be a fit for your 2019 Ford F-150. You would instead need the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30035-31. To help prevent corrosion you can put some polypropylene tape, from your local hardware store, on the portions of the rails/brackets that touch the aluminum bed for a barrier.

• Can a 2018 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer
  The auto-sliding hitch would have to travel a substantial distance to be able to safely make 90 degree turns without the truck cab and trailer coming into contact with each other. The auto-slider hitch with the most travel is the Demco HiJacker 13K # DM8550040 for above the bed rails. It has an astonishing 22-1/2 inches of travel. For an installation kit you will need # RP30035-31. It looks like the trailer you want to tow is under the 13K capacity of this hitch so no worries there. There...

• Will the Reese Base Rail Kit # RP30035 from a 2015 F-150 Fit a 2016 F-250
  So I do have some good news. The Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP30035 that you referenced is not compatible with your 2015 Ford F-150 as is. An extra bracket would be needed for the installation which you can see in the Kit # RP30035-31 on our site. In comparing both part numbers, if the extra bracket in the second kit looks like what you have on your F-150 then the dealership did the right thing. With that being said, the Kit # RP30035 is a confirmed fit for your...

• Lightest 5th Wheel and Install Kit for a 2018 Ford F-150 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed
  For your 2018 Ford F-150 with 6-1/2 foot bed the lightest set up is going to consist of Pro Series 16K hitch PS30094 with semi-custom installation kit # RP30035-31. The hitch weighs under 130 pounds and the install kit is under 62 pounds. However I do recommend going with hitch # RP30051 even though it is a little heavier and just under 148 pounds. The reason is that the 16K uses a slide-bar jaw which allows for a lot of movement of the trailer king pin in the hitch creating back and forth...
