It does not fit the 5th wheel; do I have to drill new holes in 5th wheel????

I ordered the Reese Custom install kit for their 5th wheel hitch for my 2011 F250 Diesel Lariat, short bed. It was shipped quickly, was well packaged and came with clear directions. etrailer was fantastic about customer support and making sure all the pieces parts were there. I'm planning on installing in a couple of days and am looking forward to using it. I'm glad I went this route vs the other generic kit. This one is cut to fit this exact vehicle, so no hunting for good mounting spot, moving lines or drilling the frame etc.

I've been towing a 43ft, 20,000 lb, toyhauler for about a year now. This hitch has been great, easy to use and hasn't caused me any issues. I live in the PNW and it just lives in the back of my truck in the weather and zero issues. The price was amazing and it works great.

I received the Reese 5th wheel 16,000 lb slider hitch from etrailer in June 2019; installed it in July 2019. Took around five hours to install the base rail kit and Reese hitch start to finish. So far so good, this heavy duty slider hitch works flawlessly with my F250/fifth wheel combo. It arrived in multiple boxes, had excellent instructions and an operating manual. For myself and other do-it-yourselfers, etrailer provides excellent support and installation videos to help with the install.

Installation went a lot smoother than anticipated. It is a quality product that I would recommend to anyone, especially over the universal fit units.

Great, this is the 2nd one I have ordered as I purchased a different truck. I would order again from you as install has been quick and easy.

This 5th wheel mounting assembly was a perfect fit for my 2016 F-250 . The directions were easy to follow and installation took me about 4 hours. The one suggestion I would make is ensure you have access to a torque wrench. I did, but the direction do not specify it in the tools required section. Over all E-Trailer had awesome service, quick delivery, great pricing and the assembly arrived in two days. You can't ask for much more then that.

2013 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty
Well, this is my third purchase of the same exact custom rail kit. Needless to say, I'm getting pretty good at it. This has been the best experience this far do to one simple change from the last two kits. They have added a single wing on the nut that holds holds the quick mount to the truck frame. This alone allows you to tighten the bolts without have to hold a wrench on the nut on the other side of the frame. This made this one man job much, much easier. The only reason I still give it 4 stars is the instructions still lack for the first time installer of this product. I give 5 stars to etrailer for putting out fantastic how to videos that explain the install much better. I watched it just to brush up. Excellent job !! I'm an etrailer customer for life due to great products and support.

It was the easiest set of rails I have ever installed. I mounted the brackets to the frame and drilled a pilot hole up to the top of the bed. I could have had the job completed in less than 20 minutes if it weren’t for having to climb in and out of the bed. All of my trucks from now on will have the same product.

Shipped and received as promised. The Reese 5th wheel Hitch and hardware were in perfect condition with no issues. I'm in the process of installing it on my 2013 Ford. I expect no problems. Great price, with no shipping costs or tax paid.

Installed on a 2016 f250 with no complications, very exact fit in all all aspects. Took about 4.5 hours using floor jacks in a tight space. It could be done very efficiently with a second hand and a lift.

Pleased with the brackets and rails for fifth wheel.

Fairly easy install. Had to drill the holes a little larger than 9/16 because of the location of the bed sills but other than that no problems.

- Reese 5th Wheel Installation Kit and Base Rails for 2016 Ford F-350For your 2016 Ford F-350 the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP50026-58 is exactly what you need. This kit includes custom brackets that will use existing holes in the frame rails of your F-350 to eliminate the need to drill into them and the above-bed, industry-standard base rails will be compatible with most hitches on the market including the excellent Reese Select Plus # RP30081 that you were looking at. I have attached an installation video along with...

- Reese Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation for 2011 Ford F-350 Short BedYes, the rails of the part # RP30035 are compatible with the bracket kit part # RP50026. Since the hardware that attaches the rails to the brackets is considered one time use you will have to replace it as well with part # RP58430. Then you'd basically have the part # RP50026-58. With those two part numbers though you'd be good to go. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

If you wanted a kit that includes rails too you'd want the part # RP50026-58 as well.

Unfortunately the rails for that hitch are no longer available so you will need to upgrade your hitch or use your old rails. I've attached photos to assist. My recommendation is to upgrade your hitch so I've linked the page to all your options. I then recommend using the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50026-58. This custom...

- Reese Custom 5th Wheel Brackets for 2011 Ford F-250The correct Reese Custom 5th Wheel Mounting Brackets for your 2011 Ford F-250 is with the part # RP50026. These custom brackets eliminate the need to drill into the frame of your F-250 and will drastically cut down on installation time. For the complete kit that includes these brackets and the needed base rails you can use part # RP50026-58. I have attached an installation video and the written instructions that you can use for reference. The Custom Brackets # RP50082 that you mentioned...
view full answer... - Rear Bumper to 5th Wheel Trailer ClearanceThe Reese Custom Quick-Install Kit, # RP50026-58, will not move the center of the fifth wheel hitch directly over the axle. It will actually place the hitch 2-15/16 inches in front of the center of the axle. If the 5 inches between the truck bed and the trailer is the closest the two get when turning, then that is not too bad. We typically like to see at least 4 inches to allow for pitch in the road. Another dimension that you can check is the distance from your truck bumper to the underside...

You'll then need to use your fifth wheel hitch to place the front rail 22 inches in front of that on center.

- 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit for a 2012 Ford F-250 Short Bed and Pro Series SliderFor your 2012 Ford F-250 short bed you can use either a universal installation kit or custom installation kit to mount the 5th wheel hitch. The difference is that universal kits are less expensive but require drilling into the truck frame and they take longer to install. Custom kits do not require drilling into the frame and install in less time. For a universal kit you can use # RP30035. For a custom kit you can use # RP50026-58.
view full answer... - Is a Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Needed for Short Bed 2011 Ford F-250 and Cedar Creek SilverbackI looked up your trailer to see some specs on it. The 2013 Cedar Creek Silverback has those cutouts at the front corners of the overhang that appear to be for short bed trucks. However you still may need a slider hitch to be able to make 90 degree turns. It depends on how wide the trailer is at the cutouts, which is very hard to measure accurately. You would have to measure the width at the apex of one cutout to the apex of the other cutout. The apex in this case would basically be the...

- 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Ford F-250I am assuming that your 2015 Ford F-250 has a short bed (6-3/4 foot bed) and that would be why people are telling you about sliding hitches. Short bed trucks do require either a slider 5th wheel hitch, Sidewinder replacement pin box, or a trailer designed specifically for short bed trucks (they are much more narrow at the front than the back so you can make sharp turns without hitting the truck and trailer together). Basically it is going to depend on the width of the front of the trailer....

This will give you brackets that require no drilling into the frame and will help you align the in bed rails for easy drilling and installation. This will work well with the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Wiring Harness # RP30033, but unless you have a pin box with a pivot, I recommend using a slider hitch like the Curt A20...

The baserails for part # RP50026-58 are 43 inches long and for part # RP56016-53 the length is 48-inches. Both installation kits are designed to mount to the outboard side of the truck frame.

I'd recommend the Custom 5th wheel bracket/rail kit from Reese, part # RP50026-58. You won't need to drill into the truck frame to install this kit, but you will need to drill down through the bed to attach the bed rails to the frame brackets.

I also recommend the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long # C56000 for easier access to your connection.

This is just the brackets of the complete kit part # RP50026-58. Since you can't mix rail and bracket manufacturers if you have a different brand of rails the Reese brackets would not work. If you have a Curt set of rails you'd instead want the part # C16306.

The first component you will need is a fifth wheel rail installation kit to install in the bed of your 2014 Ford F-350. For that I would recommend a custom install kit part # RP50026-58 since they install in about half the time as a universal kit and minimize drilling.

This kit accommodates the DEF tank on diesel models. Because this is a custom installation kit you will not have to drill to install the frame brackets. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation of this kit. If your truck has a bed shorter than 6 feet, you would have to use a standard 5th wheel hitch and...

For the installation kits we have universal kit # RP30035 and custom kits # RP50026-58 and # RP56016-53.

The Reese 30023 hitch you have used a T-bolt mount to the bed rails, versus a linch pin style connection used by the newer ones. Reese hasnt manufactured that connection style since around 1990. Unfortunately, Reese doesnt offer those rails or hitch legs that would allow you to retrofit your existing hitch. There is a solution, though. Your old rails shown in one of your photos should be compatible with the frame brackets, so as long as the old rails are still in sound shape you could reuse them. Drilling holes in the new rails isnt recommended, as it could weaken them.
