• How To Switch Between 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Towing On a 2022 Ford F-350 Long Bed Without Prep
  I have some great options for your 2022 Ford F-350 8' Bed (Without Factory Prep) that will allow you to easily switch between fifth wheel and gooseneck towing. I know you specified in-bed rails and I do have an option for this but I instead recommend going with the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch part # BWGNRK1116 since it allows for gooseneck towing and then fifth wheel towing when you add the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3500. This option would then not require you...

• Hitch and Sidewinder for 2020 Ram 2500 Short Bed Ram Box to Tow 2019 Momentum 376TH
  The correct Sidewinder pin box for your 2019 Momentum 376TH would be the part # RP34FR that you referenced as it fits in place of the Lippert 1621 style pin box you have now and also has the same 19k capacity you'd need as well. With the Sidewinder you wouldn't be able to use the Superglide you have now since the head of the hitch was designed to pivot as you make turns. So you'll need to go with a rail kit and fixed hitch instead. For your 2020 Ram 2500 you'd want custom fit rail kit...

• Best Option For 5th Wheel Hitch, 2019 Ram 3500 With B&W Turnoverball Already Installed
  While the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # BWRVK2605 is the correct kit for your 2019 Ram 3500, it will not fit with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, # BWGNRK1320 that you already have installed. They each mount using the same hole locations. I recommend you use the B&W Turnoverball set up and add the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3500-5W.

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for a 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty and 19k 5th Wheel Trailer
  Given the weight of your 5th wheel trailer at 19k I recommend going with a hitch rated for 27k, # RP46FR. This hitch has a secure 1 piece jaw design and 4-way pivoting head. A 20k hitch like # RP30928 has the potential of being overloaded so going higher is a safer option. For an installation kit there are 2 custom options available. First we have kit # RP56005-53. This kit has longer rails and brackets that mount to the outsides of the truck frame rails for a faster, easier installation. And...

• Recommendations for 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 5th Wheel Setup
  The GMC integrated brake controller on your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 may or may not work with your EOH system. Previous model years have required an adapter like the HydraStar # HBA-CAM to function well together. The Pull-Rite Auto slide hitch will work in a standard bed of the GMC truck. You don't need a sliding hitch with an 8 foot bed, but you would with the 6-1/2 foot bed. For either bed size, I recommend the custom bed rails # RP50066-58 for industry standard above bed rails. If...

• Does 2018 Ram 2500 Short Bed Need Slider 5th Wheel Hitch to Tow Keystone Cougar 24RDS
  You would not need a slider hitch because your Keystone Cougar 24RDS has an extended pin box as well as a tapered nose to the body of the trailer and the short bed of your 2018 Ram 2500 is on the longer side as it measures 6-1/2 feet. So based on that you could get away without needing a slider hitch and could use a fixed hitch like the Reese # RP46FR that you referenced or the # RP30047 which is still available. Now for a rail kit that works with that hitch and is custom fit for your...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Rails For 2017 Ford F-350
  For 5th wheel rails on your 2017 Ford F-350, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50074-58 which is a confirmed fit bracket and rail kit for your truck. These are the 43 inch long rails, so you don't need the longer rails based on your truck. We don't have just the brackets available for this model year yet outside of the kit. If you want the longer rails, you can get the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and...

• Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch that Attaches to Industry Standard Rails in a 2016 GMC Sierra 3500
  Yes, the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # RP46FR you referenced is compatible with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit item # RP56001-53 you have on your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500. The Reese M5 attaches to industry standard rails. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # C56070. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep...

• Underbed 5th Wheel Rail Mounting Systems for a 2017 Ford F-350 4WD With an 8 Foot Bed
  Yes, we do have some underbed mounting systems for your 2017 Ford F-350, but unfortunately there are no Reese 5th wheel hitch options rated for 26K. The only Reese hitch that fit with their Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP30126 was the Reese M5 20K # RP30921. Neither of which are a fit for your F-350. If you were wanting to stick with the below bed rails we have an option from B&W which is their Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1116-5W along with the Companion # BWRVK3500-5W which...

• Is There A 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2001 Ford F450 Cab And Chassis Flat Bed?
  The only option for installing a 5th wheel hitch on your 2001 Ford F-450 cab and chassis flat bed is to install universal 5th wheel rails such as Reese Universal Base Rails # RP30035. This is not a custom-fit setup, nor is one available for your vehicle. This requires it to be installed through a 1/2" steel plate under the deck and the plate must be welded to brackets that are bolted to the truck frame by a qualified professional. The hitch, such as Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch -...

• Does B&W Make A 25K or 30K 5th Wheel Hitch For The Turnoverball Hitch
