Item was perfect and we installed it without a problem. The only complaint I have is there needs to be an installation guide included, just to clarify which bolts, nuts and washers go where and what the torque specs are for each.
by: Kim 10/16/2023
It was fine. We did have a problem with a more recent order and
because of the way customer service handled it we no longer will use

Great 5th wheel installation kit and the customer service from Stacey was outstanding!
by: Sean06/14/2022
This product saves a lot of time. We use our truck for not only towing our fifth wheel but also using the bed to carry things. It’s important that we can easily remove the fifth wheel hitch when needed. Our truck did not come with the puck system option so we installed it ourselves. After removing the truck bed it was easy to see this bolt on kit would fit perfect. To add strength we welded the rail system to the frame which adds just over 3k lbs of tow weight. The customer service rep was more than helpful and made sure this kit would be an exact fit before we ordered. The rep gave us a follow up call just after delivery which took a week. This is a heavy item so that was much faster than I thought. Overall it was an awesome purchase and I’m impressed with how much information the customer service rep provided me.
by: Dylan03/22/2022
This is an awesome kit. If you do not have one already installed from the dealer this is what you want to have if you tow. I had a slide hitch fail because of the capture plate failing which caused the trailer to slam forward and back. This would have bent or destroyed the simple brackets that go over and under the bed. Now when installing it you will need to remove the bed which is very simple process, be careful because the main support is very heavy.

I had to order my truck without the factory hitch and puck system because of a shortage at Ford and the factory kit is made by Reese. So I ordered it from etrailer and when the truck arrives I’ll have the dealership install the puck part. Since I have the parts it’s just 4.5 hours labor and done.I can put the hitch itself together and I’ll be ready to go. I used to drive commercial truck and trailer and I like the fact that I don’t have to unlock it to hitch up the fifth wheel. It’s all ways ready to lock in.
by: Pete02/10/2022
Easy DYI install, took about 7 hrs with a couple friends.
This system is the best because there is nothing left on the bed floor when removing the hitch.
The best customer service in the industry
The videos were helpful as were the fine people at etrailer.

See what our Experts say about this Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit
- Reese Elite Under Bed Rail Kit for 2019 Ford F-350I checked with Reese and for your 2019 Ford F-350 short bed you just need the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR. This is confirmed to fit your truck and will provide you with the pucks needed to mount your existing Reese Elite 18K Sliding Hitch. I have attached the written installation instructions that you can check out as well. All of the mounting hardware is included.
view full answer... - How Time to Set Aside for Install of Reese Elite Rail Kit # RP87FRIt really depends but I would recommend setting aside a day to complete the install of the Reese Elite rail kit part # RP87FR that you referenced. You'd probably knock it out in a half day but to be safe I'd recommend having a full day to commit to it.

view full answer... - Installation of Reese Elite Underbed Rail System for 2017 Ford F-250 SuperDutyI've gone ahead and linked the instructions of the Reese # RP87FR to this answer for you, but there are some dimples in the truck bed that you'll want to locate that actually give you the locations of the holes you'll need to drill; this is outlined in the installation instructions.

- Is Everything I Need to Mount the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR Included Everything is included to mount the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR to your 2017 Ford F-350. The Only additional item you may need is the Inner Frame Brackets for Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Hitch # RP27FR. To determine if you need this kit or not, you will need to verify that your F-350 has the inner frame brackets already installed. If they are not present you will need the # RP27FR.

view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ford F-350 Long Bed with No Puck SystemFor your application I recommend the Reese M5 # RP30922 which is rated for 27,000 lbs. To fit this to your 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty you need the Under-Bed Rail Kit # RP87FR which is actually just like the OEM puck system for the Ford pickups. The biggest benefit to this type of rail system is that when you aren't towing you can take the hitch out and you have a completely clean bed. The Reese M5 weighs in at about 162lbs which is actually on the lighter end of 5th wheel hitches. I have...
view full answer... - Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch and Underbed Base Rails for 2017 Ford F-250 With Long BedSo to mount a fifth wheel hitch you need rails, and there are two types of rails: in-bed and underbed. The in-bed rails will be, as the name suggests, installed and exposed on top of your truck bed so you when you remove the fifth wheel hitch they would still be present. Underbed rails will be hidden and allow for complete bed access when your fifth wheel hitch is removed. Some trucks have an optional package that have what is called a puck system which allows for a fifth wheel hitch to...
view full answer... - Under-Bed Rails and Installation Kit Fitment For a 2019 Ford F-250 Long BedYou will need to use the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR with your 2019 Ford F-250 as the Rail Kit # RP30126 will only fit the 2011-2016 Ford F-250 model years. The mounting connectors while they look similar are different for your F-250.

Instead use the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # RP87FR which is a confirmed fit.
view full answer... - What Prevents Corrosion Between Reese Puck System and Aluminum Bed on 2019 Ford Super DutyThe Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR has a powder coated finish that will resist rust and corrosion with the aluminum bed on a 2019 Ford Super Duty. For the installation you will need to cut some holes in the bed though so to keep that from corroding you need to apply corrosion preventative (like Rustoleum) to the raw edges of the drilled holes (see page 3 of the attached instructions). Then the Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156 fits directly into the pucks and there is actually...

- Availability of OEM Rail Kit to Fit 2020 Ford F-250 Not Equipped with ItThe only version of the Reese/Ford underbed rail kit we offer for your 2020 Ford F-250 that does not have the OEM rail kit is the part # RP87FR which would allow you to use a hitch like the Reese M5 part # RP30922. At this time we do not have a version with just the fifth wheel pucks. Also the gooseneck hole of the # RP87FR is welded to the rest of the assembly so it would not be able to be unbolted and left off.

This is the exact same setup that would have been installed on your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty if it had the OEM puck system installed and it will work perfectly with your B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch for the Ford puck system. I also recommend checking out the Hopkins Wiring Kit # 41157 so you can make your 7-Way connection easier in the bed of your pickup. Attached...

- Recommended 24K 5TH Wheel Hitch and Under Bed Mounting System For a 2022 Ford F-350 Short BedWe do have the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR which is effectively the same as the factory puck system for your 2022 Ford F-350. This will allow you to use the same style 5th wheel hitch like the Curt Q24 which will mount directly to the 4 outer mounts. There are no above bed rails or adapters needed connect this hitch so you can maintain the clean bed when you are not using the 5th wheel hitch. You will also need the Max Capacity Kit # RP88FR since you are looking...
view full answer... - Fitment and Compatibility of the Reese Under-Bed Rail Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer HitchesThe Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # RP87FR is not a confirmed fit for the 2017 Ford F-150. This is for the 2017-2021 Ford Super Duty Trucks. For the 2017 F-150 the best option is the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # RP50087-58. This is an underbed mount bracket but with above bed ISR rails.
view full answer... - Help Identifying Puck System In A Used TruckHey Cameron, that looks an awful lot like an aftermarket puck system made by Reese. You could confirm this by either looking under the truck for some kind of label on the brackets. Or you can measure the distance between the holes. They should be 30" apart across on center and 13" front to back on center (see picture below). If this is correct it means it is a Reese underbed puck system, which has an identical footprint as the Ford OEM puck system. What kind of trailer do you need to pull?...
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between the Under-Bed Rail Kit # RP87FR and # RP39FR on My 2021 Ford F-350 SDThe two parts you mentioned (# RP87FR and # RP39FR) that fit your 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty will both allow the ability to pull a gooseneck trailer with a gooseneck ball or use a 5th wheel hitch in the puck system. The only difference between them is the overall weight capacity depending on the brackets you use. The weight capacity of the # RP87FR is 32,000 pounds with OEM brackets or the Maximum Capacity Brackets # RP88FR. If you use the Inner Frame Brackets # RP27FR, you will have...
view full answer... - Replacement Parts for Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit on 2019 Ford F-250We do have the brackets for the # RP87FR which are the Inner Frame Brackets # RP27FR. The puck plugs are # 58199 and then for the gooseneck hole cover # RP30136. The missing hardware is not something that we have right now since Reese has had issues with keeping certain things in stock. I would check with them directly to see if they can supply it. You could also look at the list of parts below to identify what you're missing and potentially source it locally at a hardware store.

- Does Reese Elite Rail Kit for 2019 Ford F-350 Require Additional Ford Hardware to InstallThe Reese underbed rail kit that fits your 2019 Ford F-350 long bed part # RP87FR comes with everything needed to install in your truck and basically gives you an OEM style rail kit since Reese is who makes the OEM rail kits. No other parts would be needed. So what really great is that you can install any of the fifth wheel hitches designed for the Ford rail kits like the Companion part # BWRVK3305 that you were interested in.
