Recommended Base Rail Kit For A 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty
Question:
First, thank you Kevin for your previous response. I am fitting my 5th wheel hitch to a 2012 F350 SuperDuty Ford. It has a predrilled bed ? Maybe a puck system, i havent seen the truck yet. What rails and hardware would i need to facilitate the swap.

Hey Gary,
Pre-drilled could mean a lot of things so I wouldn't bank on having a puck system, especially with a 2012 as Ford didn't start installing them until 2011 so they weren't as popular at the time. If you don't have a puck system then you'll need the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2401. This kit is a custom fit as well and won't require drilling to install.
if you end up having a puck system you can get an adapter like part # C88KR in order to mount your 5th wheel hitch to the pucks. We'll just need to doublecheck the feet spacing on the hitch to make sure they line up with the slots in the # C88KR.
