• Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel HItch & Rails For 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  First, let's start with if you can use a sliding hitch in a long bed, and yes you definitely can, you simply won't use the slide feature but otherwise it will work exactly the same. As for the hitch and base rails, I highly recommend the B&W Patriot, with the correct parts for your 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty being the following: - B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270 - B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2402 I really like the Patriot because there just...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Base Rails and Brackets for a 2025 Ford F-250
  Hey Doug. So long as your Husky 5th wheel hitch isn't three decades old you shouldn't have any issues attaching it to the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # BWRVK2402. Most 5th wheel hitches for the last 20 years have used the same industry standard spacing to attach to rails. Now if you're looking for an excuse to upgrade hitches just let me know where it says Add Comment and I'll go back and edit this. The B&W item # BWRVK2402 has been confirmed to fit both bed lengths...

• Insulation to Use with B and W Rail Kit in Aluminum Bed of 2024 Ford F-350
  Hey Daniel, so while we don't have any isolators we can sell with the B and W rail kit part # BWRVK2402 I can still help. When we install kits like this on aluminum bed trucks we use landscaping plastic between the bed and the rails to provide that isolation for an easy way that is cheap and works well.

• Is A Spacer Kit Available for a B&W 5th Wheel Hitch in a 2019 Ford F-350?
  Hi Herman, B&W doesn't make a spacer kit for a 2019 Ford F-350 because the B&W installation rails, like the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/Base Rails part # BWRVK2402, is specially designed to fit the Ford truck bed profile. Any necessary bracket spacing, frame brackets, or hardware required to prevent the truck bed from being damaged is included in the installation kit.

• Will Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Fit 2026 Ford F-250
  Hey Julio, the Curt fith wheel rail kit part # C16200 that you referenced is a universal kit which means it can basically fit any truck including your 2026 Ford F-250. If you wanted to avoid drilling into the truck frame a custom fit rail kit would be a better option like the B and W part # BWRVK2402. This rail kit is compatible with all of the same hitches as the Curt too since both are industry standard rails.

• Does Curt Make Custom Brackets for My 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty for My 5th Wheel Rails?
  Hello Brian, Thanks for writing in! I do have a solution for you, but unfortunately Curt does not offer custom fit brackets for the 2019 F-350 Super Duty. Since that option is not available, the best route would be to go with a complete kit like the B&W Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2402. This will give you custom fit brackets along with new rails designed specifically for your truck. The Curt A20 uses industry standard rails, so it will...

• Parts Needed To Mount A B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch In The Bed Of A 2019 Ford F-250
  Hey Steve, The B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255 you have would require base rails or a gooseneck hitch and an adapter in order to mount to the bed of the F-250. If you want to go with base rails then I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2402. This comes with custom brackets to match up to the factory holes in your frame to make the installation drastically easier. The Patriot # BWRVK3255 will slot right into the rails and be ready to tow. If you think you'll also haul...

• Base Rail Kit for 5th Wheel Hitch on 2018 Ford F-250 with Aluminum Bed
  The B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # BWRVR3200 will fit your 2018 Ford F-250 with aluminum bed but B&W doesn't recommend it. You will want to use some sort of spacers/isolators that help prevent galvanic corrosion due to the dissimilar metals. My recommendation is to use the B&W Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # BWRVK2402 which will give you brackets that require no drilling into your frame and also comes with the galvanic...

• Could B and W Fifth Wheel Rail Kit be Used with Pullrite Superglide
  Hey Mike, so if the Pullrite Superglide was one of the ISR style hitches that were designed for the industry standard above bed rails yes it would work great with the B and W Fifth Wheel Rail Kit # BWRVK2402. If it's one that was designed to fit only Pullrite under bed rails then we don't have a way to help with that.

• Adapter For Using Reese Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch In 2024 Ford F-250 With OEM Prep Package
  Hey Bryan, thanks for reaching out. I do have a solution for you, but the # BWRVK2402 kit you mentioned is for trucks without the OEM 5th wheel prep package. Since your truck is pre-prepped there would be no way to install the frame brackets and rails. What you will need instead is the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156. This installs directly into the puck system on your 2024 F-250, and it gives you the mounting slots for your Reese slider. Take a look at the picture...

  The towing capacity of your 2019 Ford F-250 Crew Cab Powerstroke with the 6-3/4' bed will vary from 14,100-16,600 lbs depending on drive type, axle ratio, and gross combined weight rating.

• Recommended 5th Wheel Rails for a 2024 Ford F-250 w/out the Puck System

• Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitches for 2018 and 2019 Ford F-250 and F-350 Trucks
  Hello, When you say doing a fleet of vehicles with the fifth wheel prep package are you referring to simply adding fifth wheel hitches to these trucks that have the prep package? If so I would only need to know the bed size (in order to know if you need sliding hitches or not) and what capacity (16K, 20K, 24K) you are looking for.

• 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty 5th Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for Reese/Pro Series Slider
  Hey Kevin, great question! The Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit # C16100 will both fit on your 2017 Ford F-350 and pair with your Reese/Pro Series hitch, but I actually recommend using the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2402 instead because the mounting brackets will match up with existing holes in your truck frame so you don't have to drill into the frame at all. Since the Curt kit is universal you'll have to drill holes into your frame for...

• Comparison of B&W and Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Bracket Kits for a 2017 Ford F-350
  Essentially the install brackets kits that fit your 2017 Ford F-350 accomplish the same thing. And when you compare the Reese # RP50074-58 and the B&W # BWRVK2402 they even install in the same location. They're custom kits so they use existing holes in your truck's frame. So you don't have to drill into the frame. With that being said, there is a second Reese kit, part # RP56017-53. This kit is an outboard install which means the brackets install on the outside of the frame rails....

• Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch and Installation Kit for 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  For your 2017 Ford F-250 the fifth wheel hitch I recommend checking out is the Curt A20 # C16541, which has a 20,000 lb capacity. Removing the vast majority of fifth wheel hitches for bed access will be difficult because even though the head and base units can be separated, most head units are quite heavy; the A20's is 108 lbs, for example. To install this hitch in your F-250 you need the B&W Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # BWRVK2402. If your F-250 was an 8 foot bed and you did not...

• How to Mount a Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch in a 2025 Ford F-250 w/out the Puck System
  Hey Cody. Congrats on your new truck. Demco does not make an underbed system for your truck. The only underbed system available for a 2025 Ford F-250 without the OEM prep package are gooseneck hitches like the B&W item # BW73FR.

  Hey Vince! Not sure what you mean by 5th wheel plate, but I have a couple of options to add a gooseneck ball depending on what setup you have in your 2020 Ford F-350. If you have the B&W Turnoverball System item # BWGNRK1116, the correct replacement gooseneck ball would be the item # BWGNXA2000. If you have the B&W Custom 5th Wheel Rails item # BWRVK2402, you'll want the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # C35HR. This adapter connects directly to the rails and provides you with...

  Hey Mike, the Curt Q20 fifth wheel hitch part # C16130 that you referenced does not come with a set of fifth wheel rails and brackets for your truck. It is just the hitch.
