Question:

I am in the process of trading trucks. I will keep my Pullrite 5th wheel hitch but need to install new rails in truck that I am getting. Will part number RP56016-53 work with my culprits 16k 5th wheel hitch. These rails will work for the truck I would be installing on but not sure if compatible with the actual hitch.

As you mentioned, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit # RP56016-53 is indeed confirmed to fit your 2014 Ford F-250. This custom-fit kit will provide industry-standard, above-bed base rails in the bed of your truck.

In order to determine if your existing PullRite 5th Wheel Hitch will fit these rails, you will need to know if it is compatible with industry-standard base rails. PullRite manufacturers a few different model hitches, some of which are compatible with industry-standard rails, while others will only work specifically with PullRite Base Rails. If there is an "ISR" located anywhere in the model name for your hitch, this means it is compatible with Industry Standard Rails and will work great with the Reese kit above.

If you are able to locate the model number of your existing hitch, I will be happy to look into this further and find out if it will work with these Reese Base Rails.

I have attached an installation video on the Reese Base Rail Kit that you can check out.
