• 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 Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C16428-204 which will give you brackets that require no drilling into your frame and also comes with the...

• Does B and W Fifth Wheel Rail Kit BWRVR3200 Have Weight Capacity
  Fifth wheel rail kits like the B and W part # BWRVR3200 don't have independent weight capacities but B and W (and other manufacturers) state that the rail kits have the same weight capacity as the hitch that's installed in the kit. So if you had a 22k hitch installed in the rails like the Reese part # RP30033 you'd have the 22k capacity you mentioned.

• Can a 5th Wheel Hitch be Installed on a Flat Bed Truck
  There are specific 5th wheel hitches for flat bed trucks and no installation kits because of how the hitches must install. As an example take a look at flat bed hitch # RP30054. To install the hitch a 1/2 inch thick steel plate has to be professionally welded to the truck frame below the flat bed. Then the hitch can be bolted to that plate. A hitch or rails cannot mount to just the bed because the bed is not strong enough in most cases for 5th wheel towing.

• Can Above Bed Base Rails Be Used If There is a B&W Turnoverball Installed
  I do have an option for you but the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWRVR3200 will not work for you if you already have a B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch installed.

• Can B and W Patriot Fifth Wheel Hitch Fit and Install in 2017 Ford F-250 Long Bed
  We can easily help you install the B and W Patriot Fifth Wheel hitch # BWRVK3200 in the bed of your 2017 Ford F-250 long bed but we do not have the rail kit part number you mentioned. Instead you would need the Reese rail kit part # RP50074-58 which is a confirmed fit for your truck and provides the same rails that the Patriot is designed to fit. This is a custom install kit too which means it will install in half the time as a universal kit and will minimize drilling.

• 5th Wheel Base Rails Needed for a 1989 Chevy K3500
  Since you have an older pickup you will need to use universal bed rails.

• B&W Base Rail Kit for Using 18K Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2019 Chevy Silverado
  The B&W base rail kit that you would have installed on your 2012 Ford F-250 is either the Custom # BWRVK2401 or the Universal # BWRVR3200.

  The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16411 are a fit for 2011-2019 Chevy and GMC 2500 and 3500 models. They will work with industry standard B&W rails like # BWRVR3200. You will want new hardware for those rails like # RP58430 as the hardware is torqued and only rated for one installation. You will want to note that using parts instead of a complete kit changes the warranty as these parts are not tested together even though they are tested for use with their same...

• Can B and W Patriot Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used in Bed of 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 Long Bed
  The part # BWRVB3270 is just the slider base of the slider Patriot hitch part # BWRVK3270 which could fit in the bed of your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 long bed as long as you had a standard set of fifth wheel rails installed. Which for that you'd just need the part # BWRVR3200 and you'd be set. Since you have a long bed truck you really wouldn't need a slider hitch since the slider hitches are designed to give better turning clearance. A better option would be the fixed Patriot part # BWRVK3255...

• What Thickness Are The Reese RP30047 Clamping Jaws
  I contacted Reese on your behalf that confirmed the clamping jaw thickness of the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047 is 5/8". While a 2-Jaw locking system provides more jaw-to-king-pin contact than slide-bar models, the towing experience is not as optimal as those providing 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact. If you're open to other hitch options, a more streamline designed 5th wheel hitch opton that provides that 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact and also has a 3/4" jaw thickness...
