Ford F-250 and F-350 Fifth Wheel Questions and Answers

• Where Do You Install 5th Wheel Hitch on 1996 Ford F-250
  
• In order to install a fifth wheel hitch in your 1996 Ford F-250, you will need a set of base rails like part # RP30035. The first rail will sit 32-1/2 inches from the rear edge of the truck bed. You will then use the fifth wheel itself to position the second rail. I have attached a snap shot of the instructions as well as a video link to give you a basic understanding of installation.

• 5th Wheel Install Kit Options for 1996 Ford F-350 Diesel Long Bed
  
• We can offer you two options in a universal 5th wheel install kit, part # RP30035 from Reese and part # HT31563-686 from Husky, both of which will require drilling into the truck's frame for installation.

• Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 1996 Ford F-250
  
• For a set of industry standard fifth wheel rails for your 1996 Ford F-250 you would want the part # RP30035 that you referenced as the Curt kit you referenced will only fit newer trucks than yours. The # RP30035 does require some drilling of the truck frame, but since there are no options for your truck that do not require drilling this will be your best options.

• Is a Custom 5th Wheel Rail Installation Kit Available for a 1996 Ford F-250 with 8 foot bed
  
• At this time the only install kits available for the 1996 Ford F-250 with 8 foot bed are the universal installation kits like the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit, item # RP30035. Installation of this style kit takes a bit longer and requires more drilling, but once the initial installation is complete, the rails are there whenever needed. I would not let the universal kit stop me from installing a fifth-wheel rail kit on a vehicle like the 1996 F-250 with 8 foot bed. I...

• Parts Needed for 5th Wheel Hitch Installation in 1996 Ford F-250

The Reese 5th wheel base rail installation kit # RP30035 and 15K 5th wheel hitch # PS30093 are fully compatible with each other and with your truck. The base rail kit is the universal-fit type; these cost less but take longer to install due to the need for frame drilling.

• Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for a 1996 Ford 350 Long Bed
  
• The only fifth wheel rail kit and hitch setup we offer that uses a custom install rail kit is the B and W Companion Hitch Rail kit part # BWGNRK1110-5W with the Companion Hitch part # BWRVK3500. What is really nice about this setup is that if you remove the fifth wheel hitch you end up with a gooseneck hitch left in the bed of the truck as the rail kit doubles as a gooseneck hitch.

• Installation of Reese universal installation kit # RP30035 will not be exactly the same on a 1995 Ford F-250 as it is on a 1997 F-250. Check out page 11 of 23 in the instructions I have linked for the specific steps for your 1995 F-250. We do not have a video on that year.

• If you plan to keep your gooseneck hitch in your 1995 Ford F-350 you will need to use a fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter to allow you to tow a fifth wheel trailer. The most popular option is the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G. Check out the review video I attached for more info. If you wanted to remove the gooseneck hitch you would want to install the # RP30035. Then for a hitch you could use the # PS30119.

• Fifth Wheel Rail Placement Location in Bed of 1995 Ford F-250
  
• A lot depends on which 5th wheel installation kit you are using. If using the Reese universal installation kit, # RP30035, in your 1995 Ford F-150, you would measure from the rear edge of the truck bed (not the tailgate) forward 32-1/2 inches. That is where the back edge of the rear rail will be. This will place the center of the king pin on the trailer 4 inches in front of the rear axle. To position the front rail you would first position the rear rail. Then use the hitch to determine...

• B and W Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for a 2004 Dodge Ram 3500
  
• The bracket kit part # BWGNRM1313 that you referenced actually requires the center section # BWGNRC900 and not the # BWGNRC800. Because there aren't any sections of your hitch that will fit your 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 your best option is going to be to go with the # BWGNRK1313-5W for the vehicle.

• Gooseneck Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 1993 Ford F-350 Dually with Overload Springs
  
• There are a few different gooseneck options available for your 1993 Ford F-350 with overload springs, see link. But if you want to go with an industry leader I recommend the B&W Turnover ball # BWGNRK1110. The B&W products are solid, made in the USA, and the Turnover ball leaves most of the bed free when stored. It includes the hitch and installation kit for your truck. To add an in-bed 7-Way trailer connector you can use # 20023. On your truck that wing/headache rack directly behind...

This kit will work fine with the Reese R16 hitch you referenced, part # RP30866. I have...

• Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 1992 Ford F-350
  
• Your best option is going to be to go with the Reese Universal fifth wheel rail kit part # RP30035 that you referenced. It looks like your older rails are the industry standard dimension rails that most fifth wheel rails will fit in, but we can't recommend a bracket kit for an unknown set of base rails. Especially one as old as yours. We cannot recommend them because there have been several fit issues between base rails and frame brackets between manufacturers.
