How to Mount a Reese Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2008 Ford F-250
Updated 10/02/2018 | Published 10/01/2018
Question:
Good evening. I have a 2008 f250 king ranch with a diesel. I got this hitch as a hand me down. It doesn’t have the mounting rails or any pins, but it Is slider. I’m going to be pulling a 2010 raptor 3912 toy hauler. Can you provide a part number for the mounting rails and pins? And other information you can provide me. I currently have a gooseneck and have a adapter to fit it on the fifth wheel. I appreciate your time and effort. Have a great day

It looks like you have the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30051. In order to mount this hiitch in the back of your 2008 Ford F-250 I recommend using the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit part # RP50082-58 because it is a custom fit that will not require any drilling into the frame rails. There is even an install videos which I have attached for you. For the pins and clips you can use part # 6014.
