Replacement Legs for Reese 16K M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford, Chevrolet, and GM

$402.80

Question:

We purchased a 5th wheel camper and the seller gave me his Reese 16k 5th wheel hitch. However, its an OEM, his truck came that way from the factory. I have a 2016 Ford F250 Super Duty. Is the frame hardware available and if so, can you share the cost, installed and just the hardware? Thank you

Hey Meredith congrats on the new 5th wheel trailer. The Replacement Legs item # RP83KR are the only replacement legs we carry for a Reese 16K M5 5th Wheel Hitch. They work exclusively with the Reese M5 part number 30971 hitch. These legs are going to attach directly to the Ford factory puck system. I attached a picture of them below so you can compare them to the legs on your new Reese 16k.

Do you have any part numbers for your Reese hitch? They'll be located on the head, center section, and legs. Those would help me narrow down which one you have so I can get you the correct legs. Also do you have the factory puck system, or a B&W gooseneck with a square receiver in your F-250, or are you looking to install 5th wheel rails and brackets? I need to know how your trucks set up so I can get you the right parts.

You can add this information, along with any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

Hey Jerred, Thanks for getting back with me. He giving me the Reese 16k 5th wheel hitch. What I don't have is the puck setup for the bed of my truck. This guy has a nice 2014 F350 SD that came with the OEM system installed. He also has a 2004 F350 SD and he installed the puck setup in that truck. Is that bed setup still available for my 2016 F250 SD and if available, do you have a cost? He did share that he removed his truck bed to install it! Thanks, Meredith

@MeredithA No, it is not. There used to be an aftermarket kit for a 2016 Ford F-250 but it's be sold out for awhile and now that Reese's parent company has filed for bankruptcy I don't expect to see them again. The only solution I have is to add set of 5th wheel rails, with the B&W item # BWRVK2401 that are custom fit for your F-250, and then convert your Reese 5th wheel hitch to mount to them. In order to do that though, I need to know which 5th wheel hitch you have which is why I asked for the part numbers.
