Does the Reese 5th Wheel Hitch Require a Specific Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Adapter
Question:
which gooseneck adaptors fit on a reese elite series on a 2008 Ford F-250
asked by: BRIAN M
Expert Reply:
If you have the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30073 on your 2008 Ford F-250 then all you will need is the Reese Elite Series Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # RP30845 to tow your gooseneck trailer.
If you were to need a 5th wheel trailer hitch you would need part # RP30921 for an 8 foot bed and part # RP30144 for a 6-3/4 foot bed.
I also recommend installing the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness with 7-Pole Plug # 41157 to give yourself a 7-Way in the bed of your F-250 if you do not already have one installed. This will make it easier to connect and disconnect your trailer's wiring.
