How to Install a Reese Select Plus Fifth Wheel Hitch in a 2015 Ford F-250

Question:

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2006 F250 WITH A 2014 REESE SELECT PLUS 20K HITCH #RP30081. IM BUYING A 2015 F350 DUALLY SOON AND AM WONDERING IF THERE IS AN ABOVE BED RAIL ADAPTOR THAT WILL FIT INTO THE FORD FACTORY 5TH WHEEL and GOOSENECK HITCH TRAILER TOW PREP PACKAGE. IS IT THE RP30156? IS THIS A BETTER WAY TO GO THAN JUST ORDERING THE NEW TRUCK WITHOUT THE TOW PREP PACKAGE AND INSTALLING REESE ABOVE BED RAILS? THANKS,

To use your Reese Select Plus Fifth Wheel hitch part # RP30081 in the bed of a 2015 Ford F-350 with the hitch prep package will require you to use the adapter part # RP30156. This is the only option if you get the hitch prep.

If you went without the hitch prep package you would instead need a custom install rail kit like part # RP50026-58.
