Question:
My wife and I just purchased our first 5th wheel,24foot in excellent shape, but my problem is my truck. 2002 ford f150 super crew 4x4. I understand it needs a slider hitch for clearance. I have a chance to buy a reese elite series 18k slider.But it has no rails. Do you folks make a under box mount for this style hitch?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Reese does not offer their Elite style of under-bed rails for your 2002 Ford F-150 so you wouldn't be able use the Elite slider hitch you mentioned in your truck. You'd need to use an above-bed style of slider hitch like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR.
So for a rail kit to fit your truck you'd then want the Curt rail kit part # C16437-204 which is a custom fit for your truck and will also fit your rail kit.
