Helpful Expert Reply:

The Reese hitch 30072 is a Signature Series hitch that fits underbed rail systems. So for your 1999 Ford F-350 you'd want the Elite rail kit part # RP30073 which is a confirmed fit. You will also need this adapter part # RP58419 since the hitch you have is slightly older and the Elite rails/hitches replaced the Signature Series rails/hitches. This adapter allows the two to fit together since there is a slight difference.

I spoke with my contact at Reese and he said that you would need to get the whole kit, #58238, if you need to replace any of the anchors on the hitch. The single ones are no longer being provided by themselves.

Answer 10

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
