Brackets and Hardware Needed to Install Reese Trail Boss 15K 5th Wheel Hitch in 2013 Ford F250
Updated 05/02/2015 | Published 05/01/2015
Question:
My Dad has a 15K Reese Trail Boss universal 5th wheel setup in his 2003 Silverado. I am going to be installing it on my 2013 F250, trying to find the correct mounting brackets to use on my frame that will work with this 5th wheel setup. I think its a #50026 bracket kit, but not sure??? The rails are 43inch in length.

The Reese Trail Boss 5th wheel hitch you mentioned would work just fine in your 2013 F250. You'll need the Reese Quick-Install custom brackets, part # RP50026 as well as the 10-bolt rail replacement hardware kit, part # RP58430, both of which will provide you with all new install hardware. If you have any of the old mounting hardware, please don't reuse it, it's designed for a one time use only. To see a video of the brackets/rails being installed in a 2013 F350, click the provided link.
If you'd like a 7-way trailer connector installed in your truck bed, you can install one using part # 41157. I've linked to an install video for this, as well.
