If you have the standard bed on your 2001 Ford F-150 the Reese Fifth Wheel, part # RP30051 will work well for you.
If the frame under the bed has not been changed on the truck the installation rail kit that will work for you is part # RP30035. This is a standard installation kit that includes the rails, brackets and installation hardware. I have attached a product review video for this kit you can check out.
If you need 7-way wiring for your fifth wheel I recommend the Draw-Tite Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Wiring Connector, part # 20030. To install this connector there is no cutting or splicing required.
