Recommended Under-Bed 5th Wheel Hitch for 2012 Ford F-350 Long Bed
Question:
Hello, Im looking for advice on what to do. I currently have a 2012 F350 long bed srw truck that has no 5th or gooseneck hitch. I want to get an under the bed type of rail system. But, I may get a new truck in the next 18 months that will come with the Ford Factory 5th wheel prep. Is there a system I can buy today that I could use the 5 wheel hitch in the new Ford puck system. Dont want to have to buy twice... Thanks

I suggest the 18K Reese Elite Series 5th wheel hitch # RP30921 and under-bed installation kit # RP30126 for your 2012 Ford F-350 long bed. This setup includes a wiring harness too.
Then once you get your new Ford truck with the factory puck system your M5 Series hitch will drop right into those pucks (so long as the frame is not a 34-inch width).
Please refer to the linked videos for more details on this hitch system.
