Does A25 Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Fit Reese Base Rails in 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty
Question:
A25 Curt 5th Wheel Hitch. I am asking if I have the Reese rails in my 2017 Ford F-350, will this Curt Hitch work with my 2012 Forest River XLR

Expert Reply:
Reese base rails like the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails # RP50074-58 that fit your 2017 Ford F-350 are known as industry-standard base rails, which means yes, you will absolutely be able to use the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180.
This hitch mounts directly onto industry-standard base rails so you will be able to mount it and get the full capacity of the hitch. The A25 # C16180 will also work with your 2012 Forest River XLR without any issue.
The only other thing you may need if you don't have one is a 5th wheel wiring harness for your F-350, with the correct fit being the Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness for Aluminum Truck Bed # 50-97-410-010.
