Expert Reply:
If you have a 2017 Ford F-250 then the correct 5th wheel install kit you will need is part # RP56017-53 but if you have a 2017 Ford F-150 then the correct 5th wheel install kit you will need is part # RP56034-53. Both kits are a custom fit that will not require any drilling into the frame.
If you also need a 5th wheel hitch then I recommend using the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30928 for 8' beds or the Curt # C16541 for 6-3/4' beds to provide extra turning clearance. Both of these hitches have a 20,000 lb towing capacity, 4-way pivoting head, and come with a limited lifetime warranty.
