How To Install Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch On a 2015 Ford F-150
Question:
Will the RP30047 fit my 2015 F-150 with a 6.5 box? What rail kit would I need for that hitch

Expert Reply:
In order to install the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047 on a 2015 Ford F-150 you'll want to use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit part # RP50087-58 which doesn't require drilling into the frame. That said, you may have turning clearance issues with a short bed application therefore a better option would be the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Round Tube Slider part # RP30075.
The Pro Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Installation Kit is not a good match.
