5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for a 2011 Ford F-450 Dually Flatbed

Question:

I have a 2011 F450 DRW, flat bed. I would like an air ride, low profile 5th wheel hitch. Bed height is 40inch above ground. Does Reese make such a hitch? What do you recommend. I like the Reese hitches.

The only option for your flatbed 2011 Ford F-450 is Reese hitch # RP30054. It does not have a cushioned feature but does have everything else you are looking for. This hitch requires a 1/2 inch steel plate bolted and welded to the truck frame rails. This requires a custom installation by a qualified professional. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

To get a cushioned ride you may be able to replace the trailer pin box with an air ride pin box. I would need to know the manufacturer and model number of the pin box. This information should be on a sticker or plate on the pin box.
