Custom, under-bed rail kit provides uninhibited use of your truck bed once hitch is removed, and it features Reese's easy and secure Power Puck mounting system. Works with Elite Series fifth-wheel hitches.

by:
2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty

I've installed both the factory puck system (2017 F250) and the Reese Elite (2020 F250). When ordering the Reese make sure you order the inner rails (if you don't have the welded on rails, which your F250 won't). I think it's an easy install. You will have to torque everything to spec 149 ft lbs and 212 ft lbs, Have 4 people to lift take off the bed and put it back on, but it is light. Also, take off the rear bumper. First time, I left the bumper on and it made it more difficult than it should have been. Doing it without the bumper was much better. One thing on the Reese that is odd is the rubber surround on the gooseneck mount sits off the bed leaving a gap. I pushed it down so it was flush with the bed. All in all, a great alternative to the factory and gives confidence when I tow.

Thanks for sharing the little details of what all you did to make it easier! That's super nice to have that kind of info in a review

2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Install went well. Good directions. UPS damaged the box and the plastic trim kit was missing. Great customer service from etrailer, they shipped replacement trim kit ASAP and I had it in 3 days. I haven't towed with it yet, but it looks just like the OEM gooseneck prep.



by:

Item was perfect and we installed it without a problem. The only complaint I have is there needs to be an installation guide included, just to clarify which bolts, nuts and washers go where and what the torque specs are for each.



by:

It was fine. We did have a problem with a more recent order and
because of the way customer service handled it we no longer will use

This product saves a lot of time. We use our truck for not only towing our fifth wheel but also using the bed to carry things. It’s important that we can easily remove the fifth wheel hitch when needed. Our truck did not come with the puck system option so we installed it ourselves. After removing the truck bed it was easy to see this bolt on kit would fit perfect. To add strength we welded the rail system to the frame which adds just over 3k lbs of tow weight. The customer service rep was more than helpful and made sure this kit would be an exact fit before we ordered. The rep gave us a follow up call just after delivery which took a week. This is a heavy item so that was much faster than I thought. Overall it was an awesome purchase and I’m impressed with how much information the customer service rep provided me.



by:

This is an awesome kit. If you do not have one already installed from the dealer this is what you want to have if you tow. I had a slide hitch fail because of the capture plate failing which caused the trailer to slam forward and back. This would have bent or destroyed the simple brackets that go over and under the bed. Now when installing it you will need to remove the bed which is very simple process, be careful because the main support is very heavy.

I had to order my truck without the factory hitch and puck system because of a shortage at Ford and the factory kit is made by Reese. So I ordered it from etrailer and when the truck arrives I’ll have the dealership install the puck part. Since I have the parts it’s just 4.5 hours labor and done.I can put the hitch itself together and I’ll be ready to go. I used to drive commercial truck and trailer and I like the fact that I don’t have to unlock it to hitch up the fifth wheel. It’s all ways ready to lock in.



by:

Easy DYI install, took about 7 hrs with a couple friends.
This system is the best because there is nothing left on the bed floor when removing the hitch.
The best customer service in the industry
The videos were helpful as were the fine people at etrailer.

  • Choosing OEM or Aftermarket 5th Wheel Puck System for 2021 Ford F-250
    Having the puck system is a great feature. If you ever plan on loading the bed with mulch, sand or rock you'll quickly find that having rails permanently bolted to the bed floor is a real pain. Not only that, but the pucks look a lot better. I'm not certain what Ford charges for the puck system, but we do offer an aftermarket option to provide the puck system. The Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit, part # RP87FR would provide the 5th wheel pucks as well as a gooseneck hitch. The...

  • 2022 Ford F-250 OEM or Aftermarket Puck System for 5th Wheel Towing
    Great questions! Reese actually makes the OEM puck system for Ford so if the 2022 F-250 is cheaper by a lot then I recommend going that route and installing the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR. The only thing you'll really be missing out on is an in-bed 7-Way socket but that can be added pretty easily if you install a wiring kit like the Bargman # 50-97-410-010. If you don't already have a 5th wheel hitch then I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide, 18K # DM8550024 or 21K...

    For your 2021 Ford F-250 short bed that doesn't have the OEM rail kit the Curt gooseneck hitch part # C60700 would be a really great option. It's similar to the OEM gooseneck your truck could have been equipped with and it even installs in the flat area of the bed that was intended for use with the OEM gooseneck.

    Thanks for all of the details on your towing setup as they are very helpful. Since you have a pivoting pin box that means you can use a fixed fifth wheel hitch and have the turning clearance needed to make tight turns. Normally this require a sliding hitch so that you have cab to trailer nose clearance.

The only difference between them is the overall weight capacity depending on the brackets you use. The weight capacity of the # RP87FR is 32,000 pounds with OEM brackets or the Maximum Capacity Brackets # RP88FR. If you use the Inner Frame Brackets # RP27FR, you will have...

  • Differences Between Above and Under Bed Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounts for 2020 Ford F350
    There are two ways to install a fifth wheel hitch on a pick up truck. One would be to use standard bed-mounted rails. Brackets are mounted to the truck frame with the bed rails sitting directly above. Holes are drilled down through the truck bed to correspond with holes in the brackets bolted to the frame, allowing the bed rails to be securely bolted down. The rails have slots in them that allow the hitch to be installed and removed pretty conveniently. The problem here is that once the...
