Does Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch Include Kwik Slide for 2013 Ford F-150?
Question:
Im looking at the Reese 30051 for my F150 and am unclear if it includes the 30048 kwik slide, so that the only additional purchase would be the 30035 rail kit. Is that right?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30051 does in fact come with the slider # RP30048, which is the base of the unit. To install this hitch in your 2013 Ford F-150 you are correct that you would only need the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit - Ford Brackets # RP30035-426. There is also a custom base rail kit for your F-150 available, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP50081-58 which will not require drilling into the frame like the universal kit will.
I've attached links to instructions as well as video reviews of these parts for you to take a look at.
