Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation and Rail Kit for 2013 Ford F-350

Question:

I recently purchased a 2013 F350. The previous owner had a fifth wheel hitch in it but was removed before I purchased it. I do not know whos hitch it was. My question is will any manufacturers hitch fit the holes that have been drilled or do I need to try to figure out what was previously in it?

Sounds like the previous owner removed the hitch and the base rails that you would see installed in the bed of the truck. If you did happen to still have the rails though and they are 22 inches apart on center (the standard rails design) then the Reese 16k hitch part # RP30047 would fit them and work well.

Otherwise you would want a rail kit # RP56016-53 as well to give your truck bed a set of rails for the hitch to install into. This is a custom install kit that installs in half the time and minimizes drilling.
