  • Recommendation for 2015 Ford F-350 w/ Factory Puck System Towing 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer
    Although the Reese Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, # RP58079, will not work with the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter, # RP30156, I do have a solution for you. Instead, I recommend going with the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Head Kit, # RP30138, in your 2015 Ford F-350 with the factory puck system. This offers a bolt-in, no drill installation which means you won't have to drill into the frame of your truck. Just one hole in the bed for the gooseneck ball...

  • Under Bed Mount 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch for 2018 Ford F-250 Without Factory Tow/Prep Kit
    The Reese # RP30138 Gooseneck Trailer hitch head kit and the # RP87FR under bed rail kit do not need to be combined to provide a gooseneck hitch plus the in-bed pucks that are spaced like the OEM Ford setup as the RP30886 will come with the gooseneck provision included. If you like the B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch, once the # RP87FR is installed the American made B&W Companion # BWRVK3370 would fit perfectly directly into the pucks.. I've linked to product description/demonstration...

  • Recommended Reese Elite Gooseneck Hitch for Reese Elite Under-Bed Rails # RP30073
    I do have a solution for you, however the Reese Under-Bed Rails # RP30073 that you have installed on your truck are not compatible with the Reese Elite Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Head Kit # RP30138 referenced in your question. The gooseneck hitch will not be able to mount between the rails of this system. I instead recommend the Reese Elite Series Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # RP30845. This has the same 25,000 pound towing capacity as the kit you were looking at and is confirmed to...

  • Options for Adding Ford OEM Equivalent Puck System to 2014 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    Yes, you can add the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches, # RP30126, along with the optional part number # RP30138 if you want to include the Gooseneck Hitch connection; this will be the relative equivalent of your 2014 Ford F-250 Super Duty being delivered from the factory with OEM puck system installed. (This fits 2011 - 2016 Ford F-250 or F-350 Super Duty Trucks.) This installation will allow you to use any 5th wheel hitch...

  • Did Ford Factory 5th Wheel Prep Package Come on the F-250s or Short Bed Trucks
    The factory underbed prep package was available on the F-250 and F-350 but only on the long beds. The aftermarket kit, # RP30126, can be installed on the short bed models. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. This kit does not include the gooseneck hitch portion, only the 5th wheel portion. To add the gooseneck you would need # RP30138.

  • Part Needed to Add Gooseneck Center Section to Reese Elite or Ford OEM Rail Kit
    To add the gooseneck ball setup that fits between the rails of the Reese Elite rail kit part # RP30126 you'd want the part # RP30138 which does include the hitch ball. The # RP30138 also fits the Ford factory rail kits that didn't come with the hitch ball either.

  • Underbed 5th Wheel Installation Kit and Gooseneck Hitch for a 1999 Ford F-250
    It sounds like your 2012 Ford F-350 has the factory prep package that uses the underbed mount for a Reese M5 Series hitch such as # RP30921. The Reese underbed mount that fits your 1999 Ford F-250 is # RP30073. But this system cannot have the gooseneck hitch added to it. So to be able to tow a gooseneck trailer too the easiest solution is to use gooseneck plate # RP30845.

  • Installation Kit and 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Ford F250
    The custom install rail kit for the Reese Elite hitch is # RP30126 and will work with Reese Elite and Signature Series 5th wheel and gooseneck trailer hitches. The proper hole size to drill is 2-3/4 inches (page 5 in the instructions) and you will see a link to the instructions. If you plan on adding a gooseneck trailer hitch head, it's part # RP30138. It's an underbed gooseneck hitch that includes the removable Pop-In ball, mounting hardware and safety chain loops. The gross towing weight...

  • Converting a 2015 Ford F-350 with Gooseneck Hitch to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer
    Gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches are for the most part separate hitches. The exception is the factory system available on trucks as an option, but this is directly from the factory and not an aftermarket product. There is the Reese Elite that you mentioned, part # RP30126, that's an aftermarket puck system very similar to the factory system. It even has a goosneck head, part # RP30138, that can be added to have both hitches. But there aren't any universal puck systems that can be added...

  • More Turning Clearance Needed to tow a Forest River Salem With 2016 F-250 Short Bed and B&W Hitch
    The only way to get more cab clearance with your 2016 Ford F-250 and your Forest River Salem 5th wheel will be to use a Sidewinder pin box and a fixed 5th wheel hitch, but this will require you to remove the B&W gooseneck hitch in the truck that your B&W Companion hitch uses and replace it with 5th wheel hitch base rails. There are some cases where people have had extensions welded to their pin box for more clearance, but this adds stress to the trailer frame, voids the trailer's warranty...

  • 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Towing Options for 2012 Ford F250 Short Bed W/ Ford Factory Tow Prep Pkg
    For the 6 foot 8 inch truck bed, you would need either use a sliding fifth wheel hitch or install a Reese Sidewinder in place of your existing pin box on your fifth wheel. If you don't use a sliding hitch, the front corners of the trailer loft can contact the rear of cab during turns. Which can be hard on the trailer as well as the truck. For more information about the Sidewinder, take a look at the article I've linked. If you use the Sidewinder, you would be able to use the B&W # BWRVK3300. B&W...

  • Goose Box Compatibility or Options for Leland 7900 Pin Box and 2016 Ford F-250 Short Bed
    There is not a Goose Box that will fit the 14 inch width of your Leland 7900 pin box. Since your Ranch Hitch Adapter isn't allowing enough clearance, your best option to get the turning clearance you need with your short bed truck is to use the Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret and then a fixed mounted 5th wheel hitch and rail kit. The Sidewinder pin boxes cannot be used with any gooseneck adapter. For the Sidewinder, we currently only have the Air Ride 16K # ST400-5AS16K...

  • Availability of a Gooseneck Hitch to Fit an Under Bed Puck System
    If you have the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP30126, then you will need the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # RP30138. This gooseneck hitch will connect between the under bed cross rails of the puck system hitch. However, if you have the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite, # RP30073, the Reese gooseneck hitch # RP30138 will not mount between rails of this rail. To use as gooseneck trailer with this Reese rail kit you would need...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Setup for a 2014 Ford F-350 without Factory Prep Package
    The Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP30126 that you referenced is compatible with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550024 that you are interested in. I confirmed this with my contact at Reese. This will be a great setup to use for the short bed on your 2014 Ford F-350. The great thing about the setup that you are looking at is that you can add the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Head Kit # RP30138 so that you can tow a gooseneck hitch as well!

  • Correct Part for 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty OEM Puck System for 5th Wheel Towing
    Hey John, thanks for reaching out! What you're looking for is the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP30126. This is the aftermarket version of the OEM Ford puck system so you'll be getting the 4 puck holes used to mount 5th wheel hitches, and then if you want to add the gooseneck portion to it you need part # RP30138 as well. If your Reese M5 is equipped to fit the puck system then you'll be good to go, otherwise if it has the pin and clip system for raised bed rails you'll need...

  • Will the Reese Elite Under-Bed Rail Kit RP30126 for a 2015 Ford F-250 Work With a B&W Companion OEM
    Correct, the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # RP30126 is a fit for a 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty and it has the Ford puck spacing so it will then allow you to use the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package part # BWRVK3300. This is a great setup and will be essentially the same thing as the Factory Ford Prep Package minus the gooseneck hitch ball which could be adding using the Reese Elite...

  • Recommended Under-Bed 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch Mounts for 2015 Ford F250 Long Bed
    I'm not sure what Ford charges for their prep package, but we certainly offer the aftermarket version. In my experience, aftermarket parts are usually much less expensive than their OEM counterparts. Starting with the rail kit that bolts to your frame and provides the pucks, you'd need part # RP30126. If you add part # RP30138, you'd be able to tow gooseneck trailers, as well. For a fifth wheel hitch, Reese offers a 20K and a 27K hitch that would fit directly into the pucks, for the 20K,...

  • Gooseneck Option for the Reese Elite Underbed Rail kit # RP30061
    The only gooseneck option you have for the Underbed Rail Kit part # RP30061 that you referenced is the Reese Elite Series Above-Bed hitch part # RP30845. I checked with Reese and they do not offer an underbed rail kit for that specific rail kit.

  • Underbed Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch Prep Package Recommendation for 2016 Ford F-250 Short Bed
    Essentially the Ford fifth wheel prep packages are the same as the Reese Elite hitches. For your 2016 Ford F-250 you would want the part # RP30126 for the fifth wheel rail setup. For a slider hitch you would want the part # RP30144 which fits the rail kit and then for a gooseneck hitch part # RP30138. The hitch also comes with a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck so you would be set.

  • Under Bed 5TH Wheel Hitch Mounting Points For a 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty
    I was unable to locate any under bed rail system that matches the mounting points and cut outs that you have in your bed on your 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty. This may have been a system that was discontinued by the manufacturer. I recommend replacing your current under bed mounts with the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # RP30126. This will allow you to use the more common Reese Elite mounting points like what comes in...

  • Under-Bed Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting Options for 2013 Ford F250 Super Duty
    The Reese underbed fifth wheel mounting rail kit that's compatible with your truck is part # RP30126. The rail kit is compatible with the # RP30921 M5 Series 20K hitch you looked at, as well as the 27K version, part # RP30922. You might also be interested in a gooseneck hitch kit, part # RP30138. Installing this would allow you to haul both gooseneck and fifth wheel trailers, which would offer you a great amount of flexibility. If you don't already have a 7-way trailer connector installed...

  • 5th Wheel Installation Kit for a 2013 F-350 Without OEM Prep Package and B and W RVK3300 Hitch
    The Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Installation Kit, # RP30126, is exactly what you need to mount the B and W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch, # BWRVK3300, in your 2013 Ford F-350 King Ranch. The Elite Series installation kit is the same kit as the Ford OEM fifth wheel prep package. The 4 pucks in the truck bed will be in the same location as the Ford OEM package. This kit comes with all of the hardware necessary to complete the installation and I have attached a link to the installation instructions...

  • Installation Instructions and Video for the Reese Elite Under-Bed Gooseneck Fifth Wheel Rail Kit
    I have attached the install instructions for the Reese Rail kit part # RP30138-26 that you referenced. They are in two install links though. One for the Rail kit part # RP30126 and for the gooseneck portion as well part # RP30138. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. The bed of the truck does need to be lifted off the frame slightly.

  • Replacement Gooseneck Hitch Ball and Safety Chain Hook Ups for a 2011 Ford F-350 with OEM Pucks
    If you want the exact replacement then you were told correctly. The Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit # RP30137 is the replacement gooseneck hitch ball and safety chain hook up points that you need. The Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP30126 along with the Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Head Kit # RP30138 is the exact same setup that you have in your 2011 Ford F-350. The kit that I mentioned above is the same hitch ball and safety chain hook ups that come with the Kit # RP30138.
