Does Reese Fifth Wheel Base Rail Kit Include Hardware for Aluminum Bed on 2017 Ford F-250?
Question:
I have a new 2017 Ford F250 that has the aluminum bed. What hardware do I use to mount Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, Item # RP56034-53 that wont cause oxidation and yet still be strong enough to do the job?

The first thing to note is that Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit # RP56034-53 is not a fit for 2017 Ford F-250's, it is a fit for the '17 Ford F-150. If you do have a 2017 F-250 the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit # RP56017-53 is the correct kit.
Each of these kits will work with your aluminum bed because they come with galvanic isolator strips that are placed on the bottom surface of each rail so no additional hardware is going to be needed. I've added a picture from the installation instructions which displays this. I've also attached links to review videos and a video of this kit being installed for you to take a look at.
