  • 5th Wheel Tailgate Needed for a 2011 Ford F-250 Superduty
  • For your 2011 Ford F-250 Superduty, you will need one of three 5th wheel tailgates. The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock, item # VG-97-4000, is the same tailgate as the one you referred to. The other fifth-wheel tailgate we have available for your truck is the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design, item # VG-97-100, which uses pins to open and close the gate.

  • What 5th-Wheel Tailgate Fits My 2020 Ford F-250?
  • I have a great option for you. While we do not have a traditional 5th-wheel tailgate, we do have the Truck Tailgate Net - Full Size # TR-03. With this tailgate net, it will serve as a great alternative to your factory tailgate and prevent it from potential damage while towing your trailer. Also, as another benefit, it reduces air drag which improves overall gas mileage. The net is compatible with all bed sizes on your 2020 Ford F-250.

  • What Fifth-Wheel Tailgate do You Recommend for My 2021 Ram 3500?
  • I have a tailgate solution for your 2021 Ram 3500. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Stromberg-Carlson that they do not make a 4000-Series fifth-wheel tailgate for your vehicle (or any other tailgate that is compatible). However, we do carry the Pilot Truck Tailgate Net - Full Size # TR-03 that will avoid damage to your truck's factory tailgate once installed. I went ahead and attached a review video that walks you through some of the features.

  • Are Locks Available for Stromberg Carlson VGD-10-100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate
  • I spoke with my contact at Stromberg Carlson to see if they had any advice about how to lock their # VGD-10-100 tailgate. I was told that other than using a cable or chain lock to tether the tailgate to a tie-down point in the truck bed, they really didn't have any specific advice regarding how to lock the tailgate to prevent theft. For a locking tailgate, I'd recommend going with the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series tailgate, part # VGD-10-4000 which features an integrated lock.

  • Offset Gooseneck Ball for Ford F-450 with Factory Gooseneck Ball
  • I have a solution for you, but there isn't an offset ball that fits the Ford factory gooseneck hitch. However, depending on the design of your gooseneck coupler, you may be able to use the B&W Extend-A-Goose # BWTEXA4200. This coupler features a 10 inch offset to provide the clearance you're looking for from the truck cab. If you are towing a 5th wheel with your gooseneck ball, then the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w/8" Offset for Short-Bed Trucks # AM3139....

  • Parts Needed To Install Older Hijacker 5TH Wheel In a 2017 Ford F-150 6-1/2' Bed
  • You will need the Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for Demco Hijacker SL Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # DM8553015-12 for your 2017 Ford F-150 with the 6-1/2' bed. These rails are the ones that accept the Hijacker 5th wheel hitch that slides into the rails and locks down with the push down handles.

  • Parts Needed to Install 5th Wheel Hitch on 2009 Toyota Tundra
  • Unfortunately, Reese does not make an under bed mounting kit for your 2009 Toyota Tundra to allow you to use the Reese Signature Series hitch. In order for you to install a fifth wheel hitch on your Tundra with a 6-1/2 ft bed, you could use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, # RP50084-58, and then use a fifth wheel hitch like the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Round Tube Slider, # RP30075. This hitch is perfect for short-bed trucks and has a slider that...

  • Locking Tonneau Cover that Maximizes Bed Space and Visibility for 2021 Ford F350 Short Bed
  • The best option to meet all the parameters you mentioned would be to use a roll up cover like # LE96VR from Leer. When it's rolled up, it won't completely block your view out the rear window and won't take up much if any room in the truck bed. If your tailgate locks, the latches that allow the cover to be rolled up will be inaccessible as long as the tailgate is closed and locked. This will be your best bet, as a folding cover will block your view out the rear window, and a roll up cover...

  • First you will want to install a set of 5th wheel rails using the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16443-204 on your 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4wd. This kit includes custom mounting brackets which greatly reduces any drilling required on the frame as well as the in bed rails to accept a hitch.

  • Bracket/Rail Install Kit for Husky 5th Wheel Hitch on 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • Although we don't offer a Husky 5th wheel install rail and bracket kit for your truck, we do offer a reasonably priced bracket/rail kit that would be compatible with your Husky 5th wheel hitch. I'd recommend you go with the Curt # C16411-204 Custom 5th Wheel Install Kit. The kit uses existing holes in the frame, so the only holes you'll need to drill are the ones down through the bed to attach the rails to the brackets which bolt to the frame. The kit provides industry standard 5th wheel...

  • Under Bed Pucks and Puck to Rail Adapter for B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch in 2022 Ford F-350
  • The Reese 30180 which we carry as part # RP39FR is compatible with your 2022 Ford F-350. For a puck adapter that provides rails that would accept the B&W Patriot 5th wheel hitch you already have, the Demco # DM6175 would be a good choice. If your bed is shorter than 8 feet, you'll want to make sure you use the sliding Patriot 5th wheel hitch unless your 5th wheel has the concaved-in front corners and the 5th wheel manufacturer specifically states that a sliding hitch isn't necessary. If...

The bed rails provided with this kit are industry standard, and fit industry standard compatible 5th wheel hitches from Curt, Reese, Draw-Tite, Valley, Husky, B&W and Demco, among others. The frame brackets utilize exisitng holes in the truck frame, but you will need to drill up through the bed in order to attach the bed rails to the frame brackets. If...

  • Under Bed 5th Wheel Hitch Mounting Option for 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • We don't offer a puck system that's similar to the OEM puck system, but we do offer a solution that would allow you to install a 5th wheel hitch in your 2021 Chevy Silverado's 6-1/2 foot bed without having bed rails sitting in the bed when the hitch is removed. You'll first install the B&W Turnover Ball gooseneck hitch, part # BWGNRK1019-5W in the bed of your truck which provides a mounting point for the B&W Companion sliding 5th wheel hitch, part # BWRVK3400-5W. B&W makes an excellent...

  • Curt 5th Wheel Rail/Bracket Kit for 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 5-3/4 Inch Bed
  • For a 2021 GMC Sierra with the 5-3/4 inch bed, Curt doesn't offer a 5th wheel install bracket/rail kit that's compatible with your truck. This being said, you can use the Reese # RP56015-53 which is a confirmed fit, as long as your truck isn't equipped with the Adaptive Ride Control or the CarbonPro bed. In order to gain the proper clearance between the front of the 5th wheel and the rear of the truck cab, you'll need to use a Sidewinder rotating pin box. The Sidewinder relocates the...

  • Parts Needed For Installing Demco DM8550022 Auto Slide 5TH Wheel Hitch on 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • To install the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550022 on your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD you will need the Underbed Rail and Installation Kit # DR37FR. This kit is custom fit for the short bed on your Silverado and will not require drilling on your frame rails to install the brackets. Drilling must be done on the bed itself for the 2" openings required for the mounting points. I recommend installing the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring...

  • Recommended Autosliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty
  • I'm not super sure what you're looking for but it sounds like you're describing the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw # DM8550038. This hitch has an automatic slider that will slide toward the tailgate when making a turn and back to the cab when you come out of your turn, so there is no getting out of the truck and sliding your hitch back for clearance. Since this hitch operates the same going forward as it does going backwards, you can also reverse. Also, this hitch...

  • Which Capacity B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch for Factory Pucks in 2021 Ford F-350
  • Unless there's a chance in the future that you may upgrade to a larger 5th wheel that weighs more than 20K, the B&W Companion 20K model, part # BWRVK3300 would work great in the factory pucks of your 2021 Ford F-350. If you want to leave your options open, it might not be a bad idea to go with the 25K # BWRVK3305. The 20K model will handle the 5th wheel you described perfectly. If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector in your truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector...
