Is Frame Drilling Required to Install Reese Custom 5th Wheel Install Kit on a 2017 Ford F-350

Question:

I have a 2017 F350 DRW without the factory hitch rails. With this kit, is there any drilling of the frame required to mount this kit for my Pro series 20k 5th wheel hitch? I do. It want to void the warranty or give FORD or the dealership any reason/excuse to say the warranty has been voided due to modifications. Does this kit come with all mounting hardware or is that a separate kit?

For your 2017 Ford F-350 dually long bed there is no drilling into the truck frame required to install 5th wheel installation kit # RP50074-58. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

This installation kit is a complete kit including the rails, hardware, and brackets. The only other thing you will need is a 5th wheel hitch which you already have.

I also recommend adding a 7-Way trailer connector to the bed of your truck using # C56070. This will make it easier to hook up the trailer without the need of an extension.
