Recommended Under Bed 5th Wheel Mounting Kit for 2017 Ford F-150

Question:

I have a 2017 Ford F150 XLT. I have a fifth wheel hitch reese Pro series. Is the underbed mount system available for that truck or just the rails?

I may have a solution for you, but there is not a Reese underbed system available for the 2017 Ford F-150; I'll also say that most 5th wheel hitches are designed to fit in very specific puck systems so your existing hitch may or may not be compatible with one. If you're looking for an underbed rail kit for your 2017 Ford F-150, the B&W Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BW77FR, which can be used on the 5-1/2 foot, 6-1/2 Foot, and 8 Foot bed models of the 2017 F-150.

Once you've installed the B&W kit, you'll need a B&W Companion Hitch, which will install into the gooseneck hitch on the # BW77FR. For an 6-1/2 Foot bed you'll want to use the # BWRVK3400-5W and for the 8 Foot bed you'll want to use the # BWRVK3500-5W. Both of these B&W hitches are premium hitches that are backed by B&W's lifetime warranty, and all B&W products are made in the USA.

I've linked some review videos of these parts that you can have a look at, if you'd want to learn more about these options, but they would allow you to have an under-bed installation kit for your 5th wheel hitch and you might be able to offset the cost by selling your old hitch.
