Expert Answers about Fifth Wheel Installation Kit

5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for a 2008 Ford F-250 Towing a 2012 Keystone Cougar
The first thing you are going to need in your 2008 Ford F-250 is an installation kit. There are different installation kits available. You could use a universal kit like # RP30035. Universal kits require more drilling and take longer to install. What I recommend is a custom kit like # RP50082-58. Custom kits come with custom fit brackets to fit the specific frame design on your truck. This means less drilling is required and installation takes about half the time compared to a universal kit.

The weight capacity of a fifth wheel hitch has no impact on the fit for your 2008 Toyota Tundra.

Will the Tail Gate on a 2013 GMC Sierra 3500HD Interfere when Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer
To determine if the clearance is going to be an issue you will want to measure from the center of the trailer hitch jaws straight back to the end of the tail gate when down. Then compare that to the distance from the center of the king pin on the trailer straight back to the trailer overhang (or where ever it might contact the lowered tail gate). With these measurements it should become clear if there will be an issue. You mentioned having a pin extension. If it is anything like the Reese Re

A 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 short or long bed will use Reese installation kit # RP50140-58 that you have referenced. A 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 does NOT use the same installation kit so the brackets will be different. You can use the same rails but you will need to replace the brackets using # RP50140. And I also recommend replacing the 10 bolt hardware kit that attaches the rails to the brackets using kit # RP58430.
