Reese's outboard installation kit for your fifth-wheel trailer hitch was designed with safety and convenience in mind. Just like the original custom mounting brackets, these brackets install using existing holes in the truck frame, minimizing installation time. The biggest difference with this outboard kit is the extended-length rails. These above-bed rails are 5 inches longer than standard, universal fifth-wheel rails so that they will match up with the mounting points on the brackets, which sit below the bed and outside of your truck's frame. The result is a much simpler installation process, wherein most underbed components can be easily avoided. Because you are working outside the frame rails, you also have easier access with your tools and more room to work, making the whole process less of a pain.
The base rails included in this installation kit feature a standard 10-bolt design. Each of these rails attaches to the underbed brackets with two carriage bolts at both ends. A single bolt is used in the center of each rail to further secure it in your truck bed. The result is a set of base rails that remains firmly in place thanks to 10 points of contact.
This entire installation kit is built to be SAE J2638 compliant and has been extensively tested per specified accelerated-life-cycle criteria for fifth-wheel trailer hitches. The requirements for testing are based on the European-style test of 900,000 cycles, making this testing process among the most thorough and intensive in the industry.

Like usual the product was priced right and showed up as promised by e trailer.
I have towed my 2022 Cougar 316rls loaded about 10k miles over the hills and far away. Rock solid mechanically. I have done the re torque and it didn't budge. I have this hooked to the B and W patriot slider. Awsome stuff!

I've uploaded a few pictures of my recently installed 5th wheel rails. This is truly a high quality product. I would recommend it to anyone. It was a lot of fun drilling holes in a 2 week old truck. I fallowed the instruction and everything fit perfectly.

The quick install hitch brackets took me about 4 hours to install and everything went in easy. It threw me off having to isolate the steel rails and brackets from the aluminum truck body with clear tape.

The product I received had been previously used. The brackets where all beat to shit and there where parts missing. When ordering, I expect the product to be new and complete unless stated otherwise. Disappointed in etrailer

Fit as advertised. Took 2 experienced people 2 hours to install.

Excellent service! Called in my order and received it in a couple of days. The Reese quick install bed rail kit was simple to install (especially after watching the etrailer video). Works perfect in my 2021 F-250 hauling my 5th wheel. Highly recommend etrailer!!!
by: Paul 03/05/2023
It fit my truck really well I had a trailer company installed it.If I had a place to work. I would have done it myself it was pretty easy to do.

Excellent quality of materials and A+ on customer service thanks to Jamie B.
by: Alan 10/23/2021
Seems to be heavy duty and will work out fine. Installation videos are a big help. Removing the spare tire provided much needed room however the drivers side front frame bolt was a major hassle because a charcoal canister makes visibility difficult. Product is high quality in my opinion.
by: Tracy05/20/2018
2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty
Priduct is awesome but directions are so, so. Because of the aluminum bed “stickers” are supplied to place between steel and aluminum. But illustrations are difficult to understand. Love etrailers videos but they need to do one on a F250 aluminum bed. Many more parts and spacers compared to steel bed.

Working great. No issues at all.
by: Jorge08/12/2022
Great product, easy installation but you have to be organized and get all your tools ready before hand. Instructions were clear, due to transport company hardware was missing but etrailer replaced the entire hardware kit immediately.
by: Carnus11/20/2021
2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty
Looks well made definitely has some weight to them. The packaging on the bed rails could use a heavier weight cardboard both ends were blown out. The under bed custom brackets box held up but not enough cushion between brackets to prevent paint chipping defently need to touch up the paint. Looks like all the hardware made it. Planning to install next week.

Very helpful salesman. No delay with delivery. No issues with installation. As usual, good overall experience with etrailer.
by: William07/19/2020
all the products were great. I highly recommend watching the installment video that e trailer provides, especially for the Reese rail kit. Bargman wiring harness was high quality all the way through. The Reese Rail kit was super heavy duty compared to the one that the RV dealer installed on my last truck. Neither product was the CHEAPEST but in this case it was money well spent. Special thanks to CS Rep Laser as he answered all my questions.

Product fit as expected and installation was fairly painless. There were a few tight spots to work around, but I installed the kit on my own in a few hours.
Shipping was fast and the tracking updates were sent as soon as it was sent for shipping. Will definitely buy from etrailer again.

Very nice hitch took about 2 hours for installation directions are a little generic but after looking it over not terrible to understand .

etrailer, superb customer service. Needed this rail kit for our company. Our usual vendor still have 56017-13 on back order for months. We use etrailer as back up for hard to get items. They never fail to please. Great company.

- Reese Outboard Brackets For 5th Wheel Base Rails For 2021 Ford F-250We have what you need but the part number you mentioned does not fit your 2021 Ford F-250. Instead, the correct outboard brackets are the following: - Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56017 These will only work with Reese 5th wheel rails so if you have rails from a different manufacturer they won't work together. If you need the brackets and rails together the correct part is the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base...
view full answer... - Will The Reese Custom Install Kit # RP56017-53 Work With A Pull Rite 2700 ISR Fifth Wheel Hitch?The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit # RP56017-53 is indeed a good fit for the 2022 Ford F-250 long bed. The Reese kit does use the Industry Standard Rails (ISR) so it will be compatible with any other brand of fifth wheel hitch made for ISR including Pull Rite and many others.
view full answer... - Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 2019 Ford F-250 and Andersen Ultimate Fifth Wheel AdapterYes the Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP56017-53 that you referenced will work with your Andersen Ultimate fifth wheel adapter and will also fit your 2019 Ford F-250 long bed so this would work great for your. Since this is an outboard kit it will install easier as well.
view full answer... - Does Rear Wheels of 2018 Ford F-350 Need to be Removed to Install 5th Wheel Rail KitI attached the install instructions for the Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP56017-53. It doesn't mention specifically that the wheels have to come off to install the kit but it will make it a bit easier to access everything.
view full answer... - Do Galvanic Isolator Strips of Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit RP56017-53 Have to be UsedThe isolator strips that come with the part # RP56017-53 should be used when installing this rail kit. There's not telling how long electric tape would hold up so to prevent damage to your truck I would not recommend using it instead of the strips.

This kit comes with the brackets customized for your truck and has the outboard rails that are 48 inches long versus the traditional 43 inches length. These rails are still compatible with all of the same industry standard hitches, but the longer rails make the installation much easier...
view full answer... - Outboard Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 2022 Ford F-350 without OEM Rail KitI checked with Reese and confirmed that the Reese Outboard Fifth Wheel Rail Kit part # RP56017-53 that you referenced does fit your 2022 Ford F-350 that does not have the OEM fifth wheel rail kit. This will work great on your truck.
view full answer... - Fitment of Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base RailsIf your objective, or need for this measurement is to verify fitment to the 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty, I can assure you that these are the proper rails for that truck and are 29". The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails, # RP56017-53 will fit both the long bed and short bed versions. They are 48" in length and are the Industry Standard Rails, ISR type. Unless you have a very oddball and ancient hitch it will fit these rails as each manufacturer has their...
view full answer... - Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2018 Ford F-350I apologize for any confusion, but the correct fifth wheel rail kit for your 2018 Ford F-350 long bed, 4WD is the part # RP56017-53 which means that if you only wanted the brackets you'd want the part # RP56017 but you'd have to have the larger outboard style rails.. You'll need new hardware for the rails too as part # 58164 as well since fifth wheel rail hardware is considered one time use.
view full answer... - Bracket Kit Recommendation to Install Reese Rails in Bed of 2018 Ford F-350Sounds like you have a Reese universal fifth wheel rail kit part # RP30035 plus a 16k Reese hitch that you want to install in the bed of your 2018 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The hitch and rails can be reused but you'll need a new bracket kit to attach the rails to your truck frame. For that you'll want the part # RP56017 plus the hardware kit part # 58164 and you'll be set. Or for the entire kit you'd want the # RP56017-53.
view full answer... - Does Reese Fifth Wheel Base Rail Kit Include Hardware for Aluminum Bed on 2017 Ford F-250?The first thing to note is that Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit # RP56034-53 is not a fit for 2017 Ford F-250's, it is a fit for the '17 Ford F-150. If you do have a 2017 F-250 the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit # RP56017-53 is the correct kit. Each of these kits will work with your aluminum bed because they come with galvanic isolator strips that are placed on the bottom surface of each rail so no additional hardware...

- Reese Quick-Install Brackets for 5th Wheel Rails on 2022 Ford F-250Since you were looking at Reese brackets I'm assuming that is what you need. The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56017 will fit your 2022 Ford F-250. These are the brackets used with the # RP56017-53.
view full answer... - Will Curt 5th Wheel Hitch 16516 Fit Reese Rails in a 2017 Ford F-250 4x4 Short BedYes, the Curt 5th wheel trailer hitch # 16516 will fit the rails in Reese custom installation kit # RP56017-53 for your 2017 Ford F-250 4x4 short bed. The rails are still industry standard rails they are just longer than traditional rails to make installing the frame brackets easier.
view full answer... - Installing RBW Lil Rocker in 2017 Ford F-250 Super DutyThe Lil Rocker fits into industry standard base rails, so if your 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty has the factory rail kit, you would only need the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156. Should you not have the factory rail kit, you would need to install the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56017-53.
view full answer... - Where is Ideal Location to Install Fifth Wheel Hitch in Bed of 2019 Ford F-450Ideally when you install a fifth wheel hitch you put it right over the rear axle or up to a few inches ahead of the axle centerline. If you install the hitch with the Custom Fifth Wheel Rail Kit from Reese part # RP56017-53 it will place the hitch right over the axle as needed without requiring frame drilling.

view full answer... - Determining Correct Reese Sidewinder for Trailer and Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2017 Ford F-250If you would like to replace the pin box on your new 2009 Big Country 5th Wheel Trailer, you will need to determine what pin box model the trailer is equipped with. There are a few possible ways to do this, but since you don't yet have the trailer on hand, you may just need to contact the trailer manufacturer (Heartland) directly. If you call the manufacturer with your VIN, this is usually enough information for them to be able to find what pin box was installed at the factory. Otherwise,...
view full answer... - 20k Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for 2018 Ford F-350You'd really have to check with Ford to see about what it would take to increase the towing capacity of a 2018 Ford F-350. Sounds like it's the rail system of the truck, but only they have the authority for that call. We have a 20k rated hitch Reese Select Plus part # RP30081 which would be a great option for towing. It has one of the nicest fifth wheel jaw designs around which means you'll have excellent king pin contact for minimal noise. Then for a rail kit you'll want to go with a...

Instead, the correct fit for your '20 F-250 is the following: - Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56017 These do require a specific set of extended base rails, the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30153.

The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56017 would be just the under bed brackets compatible with your truck.

For your 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty Short Bed 4WD you will want the Outboard Brackets # 56017 instead. You will want to be sure that the Reese rails you are using are the extended length part # 30153 and that you are using replacement hardware # RP56001F. If you do not have the extended length base rails then you can get...
view full answer... - Is An OEM Prep Kit Necessary For A Base Rail Kit To Be InstalledThe OEM prep kit is a puck system, which would be an alternative to a rail kit like the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit # RP56017-53 you were looking at. Base Rails and Puck Systems have different attachment point types so you'll need to use a hitch with a compatible attachment type. Most likely your Reese hitch connects to base rails with some pins and clips so you'd be good with installing the # RP56017-53 in your F-250 for the hitch to connect to. If the hitch...
