Hello Ty,

I just commented on your question. I'm glad I was the one who pulled it!

Unfortunately, the Reese # RO27FR inner frame brackets and the complete Reese # RO87FR installation kit are no longer available.

The first thing we need to determine is whether your truck has the factory Ford OEM Prep Package. If it does, you'll have the five factory pucks in the bed, and you won't need an above-bed rail kit like the Reese or PullRite. Instead, you'll want a hitch or adapter designed to work with the factory puck system. Do you have the five holes in the bed of your truck?

If your truck does not have the factory puck system, then I recommend going with the PullRite Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 24K # PUL82MR. It is the best replacement for the discontinued Reese kit because it includes custom frame brackets made specifically for your 2017-2022 F-250. That means there is no drilling through the frame, and you won't have to pry or modify it to get everything installed.

Another nice benefit is that the # PUL82MR uses industry-standard above-bed rails, so it will work with PullRite, B&W Patriot, Curt, Demco, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, and Reese above-bed 5th wheel hitches. It gives you a lot more flexibility if you ever decide to change hitches down the road.

What 5th wheel hitch are you planning to use, and are you towing with the factory puck system or a standard above-bed rail setup?
