For your Husky 16K Fifth-Wheel Trailer Hitch, there are actually three compatible custom installation kits that are confirmed to fit your 2012 Ford F-150 if it has a 6-1/2 foot bed. The Curt # C16441-204, the Husky # HT31564-686 and the Reese # RP50081-58.

All three of these kits will work with your existing Husky 16K Hitch and are custom fit for your F-150, which means that they will not require any drilling into the truck frame. I recommend the Curt # C16441-204 Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16441-204 as it is the most cost-efficient. This kit will include everything needed to install the brackets, rails and hardware for your Husky hitch.

Lastly, if you do not have one already, I recommend a 5th-Wheel Wiring Harness like the Curt # C56000. Once installed, this will provide a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck for easy hookup with your trailer.
