  • Will the Husky Silver Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install in Ford Hitch Prep Underbed Rails
  • No, the only hitches that are confirmed to fit in the under-bed Ford rails of your 2013 Ford Super Duty would be the Reese Elite hitches like the Reese Elite Series Pre-Assembled 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # RP30144. The Husky Silver Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Glider # HT31318-32042 you referenced would not install in the Ford Hitch prep package rails you have so I would not recommend it for you.

  • Will Pro Series 5th-Wheel Hitch # PS30094 Fit On 2012 GMC Sierra
  • Based on my research, the Pro Series 5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch # PS30094 you referenced is a good fit for your 2012 GMC Sierra 1500. It is recommended for trucks with shorter beds as it can move 10 inches closer to the tailgate to increase the turning radius thanks to its slider. It also has a 4-way pivoting head that helps make hookup more secure. I have provided links to a video review of this hitch as well as a video of its typical installation.

The correct Reese under-bed fifth wheel installation kit to fit your truck is # RP30073. Even though you have a 2012 bed, you still have a 1999 frame and Ford has had 2 frame redesigns, one in 2005 and the other in 2011.

  • Will Pro Series 5th Wheel Hitch and Installation Kit PS30132 Fit a 2001 Ford F-350 Dually
  • The # PS30132 Pro Series fifth-wheel hitch and installation kit includes a universal rail kit that will work on your 2001 Ford F-350, but from my research it does look like Ford offered a short bed dually model in the 2001 year. If your truck has a short bed, you would need to go with a fifth-wheel hitch that has a slider instead. The slider prevents the trailer from hitting the back of the cab while maneuvering into tight spots. A comparable hitch with a slider would be the Pro Series 20k

If your F450 with the F350 bed on it was originally a cab and chassis truck, the install kit will not work, as the frame layout of cab and chassis models is different.

On a 1999 Ford F-250, from the rear edge of the truck bed to the back of the rear rail is 29-1/4 inches on light duty models or 32-1/2 inches on Super Duty models. On light duty models, this puts the center of the hitch 1-1/2 inches forward of the center of the rear axle. On Super Duty models the center of the hitch will be 4 inches forward of the center of

  • Installation Kit for a 5th Wheel in a 2011 Dodge Ram 3500 Long Bed

The Curt E5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller - Slide Bar Jaw, part # 16516, that you reference is basically designed for a short bed, however, you can use it on your long bed, but, it is very unlikely that you will need to use the sliding feature of the hitch to make 90 degree turns

Curt does not offer a hitch that would install into the underbed pucks without an adapter like Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156.

  • Comparing Jaw Types on Fifth-Wheel Trailer Hitches
  • In regards to fifth-wheel hitches, there are a number of jaw types. A slide bar jaw is found on the less expensive hitches, such as the Pro Series # PS30129. This type of jaw is a secure one for your trailer but you will notice some king pin noise and some chucking as the fit is looser. This design will automatically close around the king pin once it is in place where the double- and single-jaw models will not.

  • 16K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Makes a Lot of Noise
  • Sliders are noisy especially when compared to a fixed hitch. The first thing you will want to do is pull the hitch out of the rails and make sure the rail hardware is tight. Then make sure all of the hardware on the hitch itself is tight. This is to eliminate the rails and hitch head as the culprit. If the noise is happening when you are not using the hitch then some shims would probably help some. When using the hitch, the weight of the trailer should take out any rattling. If the noise
