Today on our 2014 Ford F-250 Super Duty we're going to take a look at and also show you how to install the Reese Quick Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for fifth wheel trailer hitches. Part number is RP50026-58. Here's what our rail kit's going to look like when we finally get it installed. As you can see we're going to have the two heavy duty black powder coated steel rails mounted right to the bed of the truck. Each one secured down with five bolts. As far as modifications to the frame go, there are none. We're going to use existing holes here to pass through our bolts and then just a single nut on the backside, nice and straight forward installation. Another thing I like, you're going to notice that the tabs come outward, that means the end bolts that typically are right above the frame and almost impossible to torque down properly are going to be very readily available and easy to torque down. more

Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Review - 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Today on our 2016 Ford F350 we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches, part number RP30126. Here's what our base rails look like fully installed. They're going to allow us to tow with a fifth wheel trailer hitch and if we want, when we're not towing we're going to be able to remove this and still have full access to our bed. Once we have our fifth wheel removed, they even provide us with little caps to put into our puck system. That way we don't have to worry about any dirt and debris or even water getting down in there and making any rust and any problems with our fifth wheel getting in. As you can see, with the caps on and our fifth wheel out of the way, we still have full bed access and we can inaudible 00:47 put anything in or get anything out of our bed that we may need. Now, the way we're going to have full bed access and not have any rails inside our bed is because they're going to mount under the bed and since it's vehicle specific, it is going to take a little bit less time to install and require a little bit less drilling that universal kits. This is a great alternative if your truck doesn't already come equipped with the factory prep package because not only is it going to allow you to tow with a fifth wheel hitch, but it's also going to keep your bed nice and clean and give it that factory look. more

Reese Quick-Install Custom 5th Wheel Base Rails Installation - 2012 Ford F-250

Today on our 2012 F-250 we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Reese quick install custom base rails and outboard installation kit for fifth wheel trailer hitches, part number RP56016-53. So here's what our base rails look like once their fully installed, and what's going to make these great is they are slightly wider than universal fit base rails for fifth wheels. This is going to help us out on installation because since they are wider, they're going to meet up with our frame brackets that are going to be on the outside. So we're going to have very minimal time that we're going to have to actually get under the bed. Now if we come to the outside here, these bolts sticking down are going to meet up with our frame plate which is going to be on the outside of our frame so it's going to make it a lot easier to install than some of the universal kits where you might have to go underneath the bed on the inside of the frame. Now the purpose of these rails are so that you can mount a fifth wheel into the bed of your truck, and it is compatible with several different brands of fifth wheels. So here we have our Reese fifth wheel, and this is going to be part number RP30866, and as you can see it fits nicely into our base rails, giving us the ability to tow with a fifth wheel now. Now the way this is going to mount is we're going to take our pins and we're going to slide them through. more

Today, on our 2005 Ford F-250, we'll be installing the Demco Hijacker Premiere Series above-bed base rails and custom installation kit for fifth wheel hitches, part number DM8552002-71. These rails are an industry standard design, which will allow us to use gooseneck adapters, fifth wheels, or any other accessory witch attaches to above-bed rail systems like this. It's a very simple installation with minimal drilling required for the install. We only have to drill four holes in our bed of our truck, enlarge one hole on the driver side and drill one hole on the passenger side. These rails feature a nice textured powder coat finish, which will resist corrosion and offer us many years of rust-free service. Now, unlike a lot of the other fifth wheel rail kits on the market, this utilizes an outside the frame mounting technique so it's easy in order to get your bolts to torque. A lot of them are on the inside of the frame and they're drop-down carriage bolts and sometimes they're above the fuel tank, so getting in there with a torque wrench can be difficult. Okay. We've gone ahead and made a straight line across the back of our bed for our rear rail. more

Some vehicles do not have the pre-drilled holes, but most of them do. Now, another nice feature about these side plates is the bolts that come through the floor are actually on the outside of the frame rail, where on some of our fifth wheel hitches, they're going to be on the inside and a lot harder to torque. more

Today on our 2006 Ford F350, well be installing the Reese Quick-Install Custom Based Rails and installation kit from Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches part number RP50082-58. Now weve already gone ahead and removed both of the rear wheels as well as lower down the spare tire out of the way. This will give us a little bit more working room. Well begin here by setting our rear rail in place. Well take some measurements to make sure its centered between the welled seems of the bed and then well measure 32 inches to the rear portion of the rail. Now youll notice that this vehicle does have a spray end bed liner, so were going to add approximately 8 of an inch to our measurement to come and save for the extra spray liner. Now that we have the rail centered, as well as at the proper measurement from the rear of the bed, well go ahead and mark our 4 locations that well need to put a pilot hole to make sure that everything will line up. Well go ahead and take our paint marker here and mark these 4 locations. Once these 4 locations are marked, well go ahead and slide the rail out of the way and put 4 pilot holes in, 1 at each of the 4 locations we just marked. Now that we have all 4 pilot holes drilled, well go ahead and go up underneath each of the wheel wells and make sure that our side plates will line up with the pilot holes we just drilled. You will notice that the side plates are right and left sides and you want the flanges to angle outward when you would hold them up into place. Now that weve made sure that our pilot holes are lined up with our side plates, well go ahead and do the step up process and ultimately end up with a 9/16 hole drilled in the bed at these 4 locations. more

Today on this 2000 Ford F-350 pickup we are going to install part number RP50082-58 from Reese. Also our 22K Reese fifth wheel hitch part number 30033. The first step involves removing the spare tire and take it down temporarily so you have some access to work underneath the vehicle to tighten up the nuts and bolts. The second thing we want to do is go to the driver side of the vehicle and disconnect the the hanger that holds the parking brake cable. That will get reattached to the frame bracket when we install that. This is the back side of the nut that we just took off of the bolt so we will just pull that out of our way. What is going to happen is this is going to get sandwiched between the bracket and the actual frame of the vehicle when we reinstall it. The next thing we are going to do is go to the bed of the truck and we will put the first rail in and mark its location. As you can see here we have got the first rail in the bed of the pickup and what you need to do is measure from the edge that we see facing us towards the edge of the bed itself. Then we want to make sure we have the rail even left to right. 01:06 more
