Custom Fifth Wheel Hitch Bracket Kit for 2013 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed

Updated 04/04/2017 | Published 04/03/2017

Question:

I have a 2013 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 with a 5.5foot bed. Im buying a fifth wheel camper. The person Im buying it from is including their fifth wheel hitch, bed rails and mounting brackets. They have universal mounting brackets. I want to buy truck specific brackets instead of using their universal brackets. The hitch is a Husky probably from 2007ish. Am I able to buy new Husky truck specific brackets so that I can utilize the existing bed rails and hitch, or do I need to buy new truck specific brackets and new bed rails? My concern is that if I only buy new brackets, they wont align with the existing bed rail mounting holes. Also, will the older Husky fifth wheel fit any new bed rails? The fifth wheel does have a sidewinder pin box. Thanks, Bob Perkins

The custom brackets for your 2103 Ford F-150 with the 5-1/2 foot bed are # RP50081. They're confirmed to fit your truck and will work with industry standard base rails.

The choice to go with the custom kit is a good one because it'll reduce the amount of drilling and time for install. I've linked an install video for you.
