Question:

I just purchased a 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat Edition with a 6-3/4” bed with out the puck system. I currently have a Valley Power fifth wheel hitch from my old truck. I am open to a new hitch/rail system or even the option of having the factory pick system setup and installed as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Expert Reply:

The Valley sliding fifth wheel hitch is designed to fit the industry standard fifth wheel rails so for a kit that includes those rails and is a fit for your 2019 Ford F-250 short bed I'd recommend the Reese # RP50074-58 as this is custom fit for your truck which means it installs in quite a bit less time than a universal kit and minimizes drilling as well.

I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2018 Ford F-250 for you to check out as well.

If you didn't want to go the route we spoke about in my last message I would strongly recommend a B and W Companion slider hitch part # BWRVK3400 with the rail kit part # BWGNRK1116. This will give you what most agree is the best fifth wheel hitch setup around. The hitch is the highest quality and quietest option and the rail kit is under bed for a cleaner bed when not towing and also doubles as a gooseneck hitch.
