Will Curt E5 Fifth-Wheel Trailer Hitch Work to Pull a 36ft Jayco Trailer with a 2005 Ford F-250

Question:

I want to pull a 36 ft 1992 Jayco with a 2005 F250 Ford with a 6-1/2 ft bed. I want to know if this hitch will work and what is the price of the hardware to mount the hitch in the truck. Thank you

The Curt E5 fifth-wheel hitch # 16516 should work well on your 2005 Ford F-250, but you will need to make sure that the Jayco trailer weighs less than 16000 pounds loaded.

To mount this fifth-wheel in your truck, you would use rail installation kit # RP50082-58, which would put rails in your truck bed into which the fifth-wheel hitch would be installed.

I have included a link to the installation instructions for the rail kit and a demonstration video so you can get a good idea of how the rails will be sitting in your truck bed.
