Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-150 for Minimal Drilling and Easy Install
Question:
I have 2, 5th wheel heads. a 2001 Draw Tite 16K slider and a Reese 14K slider with model # 30031,30037,30726 on it dated 7/99. My new truck is a 2017 f-150 crew cab 6 1/2 box. Our trailer is 26foot with 6,000 dry weight. What install kit choices do I have, and what hitch is the one to use? I do like your less drilling options.

Helpful Expert Reply:
We have fifth wheel rail kits that will work well with either of your slider fifth wheel hitches. You'd want a custom install rail kit that will minimize drilling like you mentioned.
The easiest to install will be an outboard kit like the part # RP56034-53. The brackets mount to the outside of the frame which makes the process very easy.
