To install the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3200 in the bed of your 2010 Ford F-150 will require a fifth wheel rail kit. For that you'd want the part # BWRVR3201-00 and you'd be set. This is a custom install kit that will minimize drilling on your frame and will cut install time by about half.
