• Fifth Wheel Hitch Weight Compared to Truck Payload Capacity for Safely Towing with 2019 Ram 1500
  
• The 2018 Forest River Wildcat 28sgx will not be an issue for you to tow. The payload of your truck is slightly different than the hitch weight of your 5th wheel trailer. The reason for the difference is that the payload is based on the bed itself and the strength distributed over the frame whereas the 5th wheel base rails or factory pucks are directly bolted to the frame and have a much higher weight capacity because they aren't simply dispersed over the sheet metal and are directly mounted...

• The Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50082-58 is a custom bracket kit for your 2004 Ford F-250 and replaced the Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Custom Installation Kit with Brackets and Rails - Ford Super Duty 1999-04 # 50043-6008. I reached out to my tech contact and the brackets of the # RP50082-58 have more access holes and the tabs are slightly different.

• How to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer Using a 2013 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  
• In order to tow a 5th wheel trailer with your 2013 Ford F-150 that has a 5-1/2' bed you are going to need to use a fixed 5th wheel hitch and a rotating pin box. The reason for this is because the amount of turning clearance you have with a 5-1/2' bed is severely limited so you will need to extend the connection point back away from the cab in order to prevent the loft of the trailer from coming in contact. For a fixed 5th wheel hitch, I recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part...

• Troubleshooting Error Message Week After 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Kit Install
  
• It's not common at all to see the type of error message you received after installing the # A10-7007. The install is usually very solid and rarely is there an issue. Since it happened a week later you might check the condition of the wiring and the connectors to make sure everything is still plugged in like it should be and no highway debris damaged the wiring. Also check the original connector for any corrosion on the pins of the connectors as that is a very common problem.

• Troubleshooting Factory In-Bed 7-Way Gooseneck and 5th Wheel Trailer Connection on 2017 Ram 3500
  
• The in bed wiring harness on your OEM 2017 Ram 3500 connects to the same circuit as your rear bumper 7-way. I recommend removing the T-connector from behind your bumper and inspecting the pins for anything bent. The use some dielectric grease like # 11755 to keep moisture and debris out and reconnect it. Do the same behind the plug in the bed and then test for function. If you don't have the 12V power at that point, then you will want to trace the wire to find the short or replace the...

Valley is no longer in business so their rails are no longer made and manufacturers don't recommend using their brackets with other rails, so I recommend using the...

• The B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3500 can indeed be broken down into two pieces, the head which weighs around 70 lbs and the base which weighs around 130 lbs. However, this option will not allow for sufficient turning clearance because you have a short bed truck. If you wanted to use the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter then you would need the slider version, part # BWRVK3400. This slider version uses the same head as the...
