5th Wheel Base Rails & Install Kit For 2021 Ford F-150

Question:

I am purchasing an f150 with 6 1/2 ft bed. I have a reese revoltion pin box. I was thinking reese pro series 16k fixed for hitch. What install kit would work. Thanks

We do have the correct 5th wheel base rails and installation kit for your 2021 Ford F-150, with the right fit being an option from Demco:

- Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit # DM8552028-71

These rails are a confirmed fit for your '21 F-150, and will give your truck standard above-bed rails to mount your 5th wheel hitch. You mentioned a 16k Pro Series, and while the Pro Series line has been discontinued, there is a 16,000 lb capacity 5th wheel hitch that I recommend which will work for you, from Curt:

- Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120

The A16 is a much higher quality option than a Pro Series and is one of the favorites of our customers because it is such a good value, combining quality at a really good price point relative to other hitches. The A16 uses an interlocking dual jaw system that wraps totally around the king pin, greatly reducing the back-and-forth chucking, bucking and jarring that occurs with lesser hitches, allowing a more peaceful towing experience. It also has a handy color indicator system that lets you know if the jaws on the hitch are ready to couple, uncouple or tow.

With the hitch and base rails set, the only other thing you would need for your 2021 F-150 is a 5th wheel wiring harness, and the right fit for that is the Pollak 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness for Aluminum Truck Beds # PK11893-11932-010.
