Adapter Needed to Use Reese 16K Hitch in Ford Factory Prep System
Question:
Ive been trying to call but cant get through. Is there a way to use a slider Reese 16K 5th wheel hitch with the under bed 5th wheel prep kit on 2017 F250 super duty I will be purchasing it today?

Expert Reply:
An industry-standard 5th wheel hitch like Reese 16K Slider # RP30051 can be used in the Ford factory under-bed prep setup by using adapter # RP30156. The adapter simply drops into the pucks in the under-bed setup and provides the equivalent of 5th wheel rails. Note this adapter adds 2-inches of height to the hitch.
Please refer to the linked videos for more information on features and installation.
