Recommended Installation Rails for Valley 7054 5th-Wheel Hitch on 2013 Ford F-350

Question:

I have a valley 7054 power pull glider. 16000 pound capacity. I need to install it in my newer truck. Its a 2013 f350 long bed. I dont believe I have the factory installed kit. So I need the rails and the install kit. Can you let me know what all Ill need to make this work? Thanks again.

As long as your Valley 7054 Fifth-Wheel Hitch is not an under the bed hitch (UBS), I recommend installing the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails # RP50026-58 on your 2013 Ford F-350. These are custom-fit rails for your truck that will minimize drilling required during installation and will be compatible with your existing Valley Hitch. I have attached the installation details for you to check out.

Since your new F-350 has an 8 foot bed, you will no longer need to use the sliding feature on your Valley Pull Glider. Just make sure that the hitch remains in the forward locked position at all times.

If you do not have one already, I also recommend adding a 5th-Wheel Wiring Harness like the Bargman # 50-97-410. Once installed, this will provide a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck for easy hookup with your trailer.
