Will the Reese Rail Kit Mounting Adapter work with a Ford OEM 5th Wheel Prep Kit and Reese Slider
Question:
Ive just purchased a 2012 F-450 8 foot bed, with the fifth wheel prep kit and currently have two different hitches 18K Pullrite SuperGlide and a Reese 18K RP30084 slider. Will either of these two fifth wheel hitches work with this adapter so that I can use the fifth wheel prep kit purchased with the truck?

Expert Reply:
The Reese Mounting Adapter Rail Kit, # RP30156, will work with the Reese 18K square tube slider hitch, # RP30084, in the Ford tow prep kit that is in your 2012 F-450.
Since you now have an 8 foot bed you will most likely have no need for the slider function of the # RP30084 hitch. This means you can just leave the hitch in the towing position all the time, or, if noise is an issue with the slider portion of the hitch, you can replace the slider unit with standard legs, # RP30727.
The 8K Pullrite SuperGlide that you mentioned is not compatible with the mounting adapter for the Ford towing prep kit.
