Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Kit and Hitch For 2017 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
Question:
Is there a 5th wheel hitch out there for my 2017 F-150
asked by: Alan
Expert Reply:
For your F-150 with 5-1/2 foot bed for use with a Sidewinder, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56034-53.
For a hitch, I recommend the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 along with the necessary Sidewinder Wedge # C16991.
You may also want to consider using the Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness for Aluminum Truck Bed - 7 Way RV - 9' Long # 50-97-410-010 to put a 7-way in the bed of your truck for easy access and connection.
