Install went well. Good directions. UPS damaged the box and the plastic trim kit was missing. Great customer service from etrailer, they shipped replacement trim kit ASAP and I had it in 3 days. I haven't towed with it yet, but it looks just like the OEM gooseneck prep.

Honestly I would be disappointed too. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you about this.



by:

Item was perfect and we installed it without a problem. The only complaint I have is there needs to be an installation guide included, just to clarify which bolts, nuts and washers go where and what the torque specs are for each.



by:

It was fine. We did have a problem with a more recent order and
because of the way customer service handled it we no longer will use

by:

Great 5th wheel installation kit and the customer service from Stacey was outstanding!



by:

This product saves a lot of time. We use our truck for not only towing our fifth wheel but also using the bed to carry things. It’s important that we can easily remove the fifth wheel hitch when needed. Our truck did not come with the puck system option so we installed it ourselves. After removing the truck bed it was easy to see this bolt on kit would fit perfect. To add strength we welded the rail system to the frame which adds just over 3k lbs of tow weight. The customer service rep was more than helpful and made sure this kit would be an exact fit before we ordered. The rep gave us a follow up call just after delivery which took a week. This is a heavy item so that was much faster than I thought. Overall it was an awesome purchase and I’m impressed with how much information the customer service rep provided me.



by:

This is an awesome kit. If you do not have one already installed from the dealer this is what you want to have if you tow. I had a slide hitch fail because of the capture plate failing which caused the trailer to slam forward and back. This would have bent or destroyed the simple brackets that go over and under the bed. Now when installing it you will need to remove the bed which is very simple process, be careful because the main support is very heavy.

I had to order my truck without the factory hitch and puck system because of a shortage at Ford and the factory kit is made by Reese. So I ordered it from etrailer and when the truck arrives I’ll have the dealership install the puck part. Since I have the parts it’s just 4.5 hours labor and done.I can put the hitch itself together and I’ll be ready to go. I used to drive commercial truck and trailer and I like the fact that I don’t have to unlock it to hitch up the fifth wheel. It’s all ways ready to lock in.



by:

Easy DYI install, took about 7 hrs with a couple friends.
This system is the best because there is nothing left on the bed floor when removing the hitch.
The best customer service in the industry
The videos were helpful as were the fine people at etrailer.

I like the product it is what I want the package was destroyed by the carrier and I spoke with Justin from etrailer, and he is getting me the missing hardware hopefully soon as I need this installed ASAP, he was courteous and helpful even though it is inconvenient as long as etrailer makes it right I am very satisfied as I have bought allot from this company over the years this is the first issue I have ever encountered

  • Recommended 24K 5TH Wheel Hitch and Under Bed Mounting System For a 2022 Ford F-350 Short Bed
    We do have the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR which is effectively the same as the factory puck system for your 2022 Ford F-350. This will allow you to use the same style 5th wheel hitch like the Curt Q24 which will mount directly to the 4 outer mounts. There are no above bed rails or adapters needed connect this hitch so you can maintain the clean bed when you are not using the 5th wheel hitch. You will also need the Max Capacity Kit # RP88FR since you are looking...

    The Inner Frame Brackets for Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit item # RP27FR you were looking at go with the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # RP87FR. These are required to install the system if your truck didn't come with the inner rails from the factory. The Reese Elite fits your 2022 Ford F-250 and provides you with the same OEM puck system that comes from the factory on Ford trucks. This set up will work great with both B&W...

  • 2022 Ford F-250 OEM or Aftermarket Puck System for 5th Wheel Towing
    Great questions! Reese actually makes the OEM puck system for Ford so if the 2022 F-250 is cheaper by a lot then I recommend going that route and installing the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR. The only thing you'll really be missing out on is an in-bed 7-Way socket but that can be added pretty easily if you install a wiring kit like the Bargman # 50-97-410-010. If you don't already have a 5th wheel hitch then I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide, 18K # DM8550024 or 21K...

    Yes, the Curt PowerRide 30K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C48BR is designed to fit your 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty if you have the factory prep package. If you don't have the factory prep package then all you need to be able to use the PowerRide is the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR. This is the aftermarket equivalent of the factory kit so the puck locations will all be the same. You might also consider installing a 7-Way like part # 50-97-410-010 in the bed of your truck...

    For your 2019 Ford F-250, the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel # RP87FR will be the underbed kit to give you the pucks. Then you can use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Ford Super Duty Prep Package - 18K # DM8550024 which will fit perfectly in those Elite Pucks because they have the same exact measurements as the Ford Factory Prep Package pucks.

  • Towing Kit Recommendation for 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Towing with a 2019 Ford F-250 6-3/4 Bed
    If you are wanting to use and underbed rail for with the 18K Demco Hijacker # DM8550022 then you're going to need the Kit # RP87FR which is basically the same thing as what you'd have from factory on your 2019 Ford F-250 with a 6-3/4' bed. The biggest issue with this method is that there isn't an easy way to get to where you can tow a camel. Instead I recommend going with the B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1116 and then utilizing the Companion # BWRVK3400-5W. This is a really great set up...

  • What Is The Difference Between The Reese Elite Rails RP87FR and RP39FR For a 2021 Ford F-350?
    The Reese Elite Under-Bed 5th Wheel Rail and Install Kit # RP87FR and # RP39FR you were looking at for your 2021 Ford F-350 are actually both the exact same kit. The reason for two different kits is one is listed under the 5th wheel hitch section of our fitguide, where the other is listed under the gooseneck hitch selection for your truck. This is done solely to allow the hitch to show up in both places, and as such you will just want to go with whichever option is the cheapest at the...

  • Is There An Aftermarket Puck System Available For A 1995 Ford F-350
    There unfortunately are not any aftermarket puck system solutions available for your 1995 Ford F-350, but you can still get the best of both worlds with a B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1100. This hitch will allow you to tow a gooseneck trailer or drop in a Companion 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3500 to tow a 5th wheel trailer. If you're set on installing a puck system then you would need to fabricate it entirely to work with your F-350.

    Yes! The Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR will fit with your Pullrite adapter. What the Reese rails do is essentially give you the Ford puck mounting system. If you used your adapter with the OEM puck system on your old truck, it will be the same experience with the Reese system on your new one. If you don't already have one, you'll need a wiring harness like the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness with 7-Pole Connector for Aluminum Beds # C57008.

    The Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR has a powder coated finish that will resist rust and corrosion with the aluminum bed on a 2019 Ford Super Duty. For the installation you will need to cut some holes in the bed though so to keep that from corroding you need to apply corrosion preventative (like Rustoleum) to the raw edges of the drilled holes (see page 3 of the attached instructions).

Brackets are mounted to the truck frame with the bed rails sitting directly above. Holes are drilled down through the truck bed to correspond with holes in the brackets bolted to the frame, allowing the bed rails to be securely bolted down. The rails have slots in them that allow the hitch to be installed and removed pretty conveniently. The problem here is that once the...
