Fifth Wheel Rails and Mounting Hardware for a 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty with 6 Foot Bed
Question:
Does this item include rails and mounting hardware?

Expert Reply:
The # RP30051 Draw-Tite 16K Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider does not include the rails and mounting hardware. You have a couple of options for your 2001 F-250/350, 6 foot bed Super Duty. You can use either the # RP30035 Universal Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit with Rails or part # RP50082-58 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Custom Installation Kit with Brackets and Rails for 1999-2008 Ford Super Duty. The install kits include the bed-mounted rails, the frame brackets and all necessary hardware.
I would recommend the custom install kit, which typically takes about half the time to install. I will provide links to the install instructions for both install kits. For the universal kit, the instructions pertaining to your F250 are on page 10.
