  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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! If you...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for a 2012 Ford F-250 with Factory Prep Package
    The king pin is the large pin on the trailer. For a 5th wheel trailer hitch that will fit the 2012 Ford F-250 with the factory prep package you have a couple of options. First, the prep package was designed for use with the Reese Elite Series 5th wheel hitches. If you have a long bed truck use # RP30921 with a 20k capacity or # RP30922 with a 27k capacity. The other option is to use an adapter, # RP30156, and a different fixed 5th wheel hitch or slider hitch. This adapter will accept...

  • Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2008 Ford F-350 with Reese Signature Series 5th Wheel Hitch
    In order to install a gooseneck trailer hitch in your 2008 Ford F-350 you are going to have to remove the 5th wheel trailer hitch installation kit. None of the Elite/Signature series gooseneck hitches will fit the install kit on your truck. But what you can use is the above-bed gooseneck trailer hitch, # RP30845. It will fit in place of the hitch so you can swap them out when needed.

  • Under-Bed 5th Wheel Kit for a 2013 Ford Super Duty
    Thank you for sending the pictures. Your truck does not have the under-bed rail kit for the fifth wheel prep package. If you would like to add an under-bed fifth wheel kit to your 2013 Ford Super Duty, you can install the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Rail Kit, # RP30126. This will provide the 4 pucks in the bed just like the fifth wheel prep package that is offered by Ford. I have attached an installation video for you to check out. For a fifth wheel hitch, you can use the Reese M5 Series...

  • Version of Reese Elite Rail Kit # RP30138-26 Without Hitch Ball
    Yes, we do have a version of the # RP30138-26 which doesn't include the gooseneck ball and safety chains with the part # RP30126. Basically the # RP30138-26 is the # RP30126 with the gooseneck ball kit part # RP30138 included.

  • OEM Style Reese Gooseneck and Fifth Wheel Hitch Rail Kit for 2018 Ford F-250
    We actually have the same OEM rail kit for your 2018 Ford F-250 which would be your best option since you said that was what you really wanted. For that you'd need the Reese Elite Rail Kit part # RP30886 and then the Elite gooseneck hitch adapter # RP30845. Reese is actually who makes the Ford rail kits so this would give you the exact same thing at a better price.

  • Adding Both a Gooseneck and 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch to a 2014 Ford F-150
    The gooseneck plate # RP30138 will not fit the under bed installation kit # RP30064 for your 2014 Ford F-150 but there are other ways to have both a gooseneck hitch and 5th wheel hitch. You can use the B&W gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1104-5W. Then when you want to tow a 5th wheel trailer you can use companion hitch # BWRVK3500-5W for a long bed truck or # BWRVK3400-5W for the slider version for a 6-3/4 foot short bed truck. I have included links to videos for all 3 of these parts for you.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Is a Sidewinder Required for a 2011 Ford F-350 with Short Bed
    While you don't need a Sidewinder pin box for a 7' bed, we do recommend using at least a sliding 5th wheel hitch for any bed size that is smaller than 8'. A Sidewinder can be used with any size truck bed but the only time that it is needed is when the truck bed is shorter than 6-1/2'. Since your 2011 Ford F-350 has a 7' bed I recommend at least going with a sliding 5th wheel hitch. If you don't already have a 5th wheel hitch or base rails I highly recommend installing the Under-Bed Rail...

  • Is Truck Bed Removal Required to Install the Gooseneck Hitch # RP30138 In UnderBed Rails # RP30126
    Not at all, I checked the installation instructions for the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Head Kit # RP30138 and you will not need to remove the bed of your truck to install this hitch in your 2013 Ford Super Duty with the Underbed Rail Kit part # RP30126. You might need to lower the spare while torquing the install hardware, but that's it.
