We have just what you need. The 7-way and 4-way part # 74682 would plug right into the 7-way wiring connector your 1995 Ford F-350 has and will provide you with both a 7-way and a 4-way.
I attached an install video for more info as well. view full answer...
Without going into the merits of one manufacturer over another, generally speaking you will want a full size truck. Depending on the weight of the trailer, a 1/2 ton might be fine, but a 3/4 ton would probably be best.
These would include the Ford F250, the Dodge Ram 2500, and the Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra 2500. You will want your new truck to have the tow package, and the full length 8 foot bed for maximum clearance between the front of the trailer and the rear of the truck cab.

I have a suspension enhancement solution that will fit your 1994 Ford truck but there isn't an air bag kit that can be installed at same time as a gooseneck hitch like the # BWGNRK1100 that you referenced. So instead you'd want the RoadActive kit part # RAS3611-HD which fits your truck and also would not interfere with the rail kit of the gooseneck hitch.
The RAS kits are actually what I would have recommended even if an air bag kit was available. They provide better support that isn't... view full answer...
I spoke to my contacts at Curt and Reese and the only styles of hitches that can be made to fit an RV like yours are multi-fit hitches like the # 41990 that has a 16k capacity. This is a weld on hitch that would require either the 7 inch drop brackets part # 4907 or the 16 inch brackets part # 4916. view full answer...
Any truck with a bed shorter than 8 ft long is considered a short bed pickup. Per the attached helpful article, it is recommended to use a sliding fifth wheel hitch along with the extended pin box. Using just one or the other may not give the clearance you need when executing sharp turns, which will happen.
My recommendation is to use a sliding fifth wheel hitch like the Reese Fifth Wheel, part # RP30075. This is a sliding fifth wheel that gives you 11 inches travel front to back.

In this situation I recommend going with the best hitch for the truck rather than for the trailer if for no other reason than you might one day pull a different trailer with your 2004 Ford F-250, and because it is better to error on the side of caution as the saying goes.
You can take some measurements to ensure there will be enough clearance. On your truck, the center of the hitch jaw will be 36 inches from the back of the truck cab. Using this information we can plug it into a formula... view full answer...
For an easy installation that would require no cutting or splicing, using the Hopkins 4 to 7-Way Adapter, part # 37185 in conjunction with the T-1 harness, part # 118316 would be the way to go.
The T-1 Harness would plug inline with the factory harness usually located at the rear of the frame rail on the drivers side. The 4 pole provided by the T-1 would then easily plug into the adapter.
The remaining wires would connect as shown in the diagram I have linked to below. view full answer...
We have just what you need. To install your Reese fifth wheel hitch in the bed of your 1993 Ford F-350 long bed all you need is the Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP30035 which is a confirmed fit for your truck. view full answer...
Yes, you could certainly add a weight distribution system and sway control to improve your towing performance, but the systems we offer for 2-1/2 inch trailer hitches are going to be a bit too heavy duty for your particular trailer. The 2-1/2 hitch systems would be compatible for tongue weights up to 1700lbs, but your trailer, even with a maximum load, should only have around 975 or 1000lbs of tongue weight. In this case, I would typically recommend a system rated for tongue weights up... view full answer...
Since there is a 1-1/2 inch drop needed, I would recommend the Reese Weight Distribution Shank, part # RP54970. When used in the drop position with a trunnion bar system, it offers 1-1/4 inches of drop which would be just about perfect. The 1/4 inch difference would be nothing to worry about, as the truck would settle a bit once the trailer is hitched. view full answer...
Since you have a 4-way connector on your 1993 Ford F-250 and you need a 6-way round for the trailer I would recommend that you install a Brake Controller 6 and 4 Way Installation Kit, part # ETBC6, on your F-250. This will convert your 4-way to a 6-way and allow you to connect to the trailer you are purchasing and use a brake controller if you have one.
If you need a brake controller I would recommend a Tekonsha Brake Controller, part # 90885. I attached installation instructions for you... view full answer...
I have a very similar bumper to the one you referenced that will fit your 1996 Ford F-250, but the # 61000-93500 is for older Toyotas.
Instead you would want the part # 20000-92230. This is basically the same style Westin Fey bumper but confirmed to fit your truck. view full answer...
The highest rated hitch we offer for your 1992 Ford F-350 that has been confirmed to fit your frame width would be the Curt Hitch # C15300. This bad boy has capacities of 2,400 lbs tongue weight and 16,000 lbs total trailer weight. However this is a 2 inch hitch.
This hitch is specifically designed to fit the larger 37-1/4 inch frames like you have. There will be some drilling required for installation. Check out the install video I attached.

The best option we are going to have for a hitch for your 1995 Ford F-450 Cab and Chassis is the Curt hitch part # C14082 that is designed to fit 34 inch wide frames. This hitch requires some drilling so it would also require a bit of modification to get it to fit your vehicle. You will need to first verify that your hitch frame rails are 34 inches apart measured from the outside.
The measurement from the top of the mounting bracket down to the top of the receiver tube measures 5 inches.... view full answer...
The Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit, # RP50026, would only be half of a 5th wheel trailer hitch installation kit. and it will not fit a 1994 Ford F-250. The kit you actually need is the Reese universal installation kit, # RP30035. It comes with underbed brackets, installation hardware, and rails. We have determined that the RBW Lil Rocker will fit in the Reese rails. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. view full answer...
While there is not a specific truck size required, to maximize towing capacity and minimize wear and tear on the drive train of the truck, I would recommend a full size, 3/4 or 1 ton truck like the Ford F-250 or F350, Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra 2500 or 3500, or Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 Series.
I would recommend a truck with the 8 foot bed if possible, which would eliminate the need for a sliding hitch or a replacement pin box for the fifth wheel. That is not to say that other trucks... view full answer...
When measuring the frame width on a vehicle, you will need to measure from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other frame rail. It sound like you have the 37-1/4 inch frame on your 1994 Ford F-250. Usually, you see the more narrow frame on cab and chassis models.
The CURT Trailer Hitch, # C15300, does not fit vehicles with a 34 inch frame but will fit the 37-1/4 inch frame. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. It is possible that the holes will... view full answer...
While the Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C60723 is a more cost-effective option for your 1994 Ford F-250, the B&W Turnoverball Underbed is my go-to gooseneck hitch so I have a hard time not recommending it. The correct fit depends on if you have the Overload Springs or not:
- Overload Springs # BWGNRK1110
- Without Overload Springs # BWGNRK1100
When looking at the specs the only real difference between the Curt and the B&W is that the B&W is Made in the... view full answer...

The Westin Fey Bumper # 21007-92230 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 1995 Ford F-250. This bumper is not in any way a B-stock type bumper that would have imperfections.
