Fifth Wheel Rail Kit for 2020 Ford F-250 Short Bed for Reese Hitch
Question:
Since I already have a Reese 5th wheel and gooseneck plate I would like to know which Reese rail kit above bed I should order. Also, does that part number include the brackets that are needed. 2020 F250 6 3/4 bed. If rails are weighted for different amounts I want 1 rated for at least 18k.

For your 2020 Ford F-250 short bed we have the Reese custom install fifth wheel rail kit part # RP50074-58 as a fit which will work great with your current Reese hitch and gooseneck plate. The fifth wheel rails aren't independently weight rated but what our manufacturers have told us is that they have basically the same weight capacity as the hitch that's installed in them. So what that means for you is that you wouldn't have to worry about the capacity of the rails.
The # RP50074-58 is an inboard rail kit which has the advantage of having a slightly smaller rail size, the part # RP56017-53 that you referenced also fits your truck but this is an outboard rail design. This means the rails are slightly larger but the kit does install easier since the brackets attach on the outsides of the frame rails. This kit also happens to be a bit more expensive so there is trade offs.
