Will Draw-Tite Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit into Reese Industry Standard Rails

Question:

I see the Reese is universal, Does that mean a Drawtite 5th wheel will mate up to it?

Many fifth wheel hitches fit into industry standard rails that are installed in the truck's bed. As long as a hitch is designed for the industry standard rails then it will be a universal fit.

The rails are installed in the truck's bed and connected to the frame underneath using brackets. The Reese bracket and rail kit that is custom designed for your 2007 Ford Super Duty is # RP50082-58. This will install much faster and require a lot less drilling than a universal bracket kit like # RP30035.
